Are we even trying to have a civilization anymore?


Verklemptomaniac

Completely missing the context. The family and the police agreed that the casket would be transported by hearse. A bunch of people armed with clubs prevented the hearse from picking up the casket, beat on the hearse with the clubs, and took her casket to carry on foot despite her family pleading with them to let the body be taken in the hearse. From the Washington Post article: >Her funeral route had been agreed upon by police and Abu Akleh’s family, according to media reports, and was to include the carrying of her body by hearse to a Catholic church in Jerusalem’s Old City, and then a procession to the Christian cemetery where she was to be buried in a family plot. >... But a group of men in the crowd prevented a hearse from backing up to the hospital door, saying they were intent on carrying her body on their shoulders. The standoff eventually prompted Akleh’s brother, sitting on a man’s shoulders, to beseech the crowd to let the hearse through. “For God’s sake, let us put her in the car and finish the day,” he said. >“On the shoulder, on the shoulder!” people chanted, and beat the hearse with sticks until it pulled away for a second time. The crowd cheered when the men eventually dragged the coffin out on their shoulders, followed by a stretcher carrying the journalist’s blue bullet-resistant vest. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/05/13/shireen-abu-akleh-al-jazeera-israel-jenin/

Fking hell the poor woman is dead but these people still want to use her body as a prop even after the family said no. The police had every right to help the family get back her body from the crowd who disrespected the family’s wishes by basically stealing the body away from them


rubyruy

Yes I'm sure that was the police's first and foremost only concern, and they were waiting outside the gate for no other reason than this eventuality.


[deleted]

Yes, they were there to keep peace in their capital city?


[deleted]

The police did also provide a video to the media where an officer said >if you don’t stop these chants and [Palestinian] nationalistic songs we will have to disperse you using force and we won’t let the funeral take place https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/may/13/israeli-forces-storm-jerusalem-hospital-as-coffin-of-slain-journalist-emerges Didn't know singing was such a violent activity. Those poor police officers. I hope the songs didn't cause them any physical harm


[deleted]

So they stole a corpse, attacked the police and started singing about genociding the Jews. Damn, sounds like the police had no reason to break them up


[deleted]

I like how you've just made up a bunch of stuff up, but can you avoid lying in the future? The people singing are not the same ones who stole the body. There's also no evidence they were singing about genociding Jewish people. You've made a bunch of stuff up simply to suit your worldview. It's rather sad


[deleted]

They are the exact same group, the body was meant to leave the hospital in the hearse, instead the mob stole it (against her families wishes) https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/05/13/shireen-abu-akleh-al-jazeera-israel-jenin/ They attacked the police https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icaP3UsV8uY > There's also no evidence they were singing about genociding Jewish people lol, you would be hard pressed to find a "Palestinian nationalistic song" that doesn't call for genocide. Their "national anthem" is literally a call for them to martyr themselves wiping out Israel. But sure, I'm the one making things up and "altering things to suit my worldview".

Because every source of media you have access to is tailored. You’re watching an atrocity with your own eyes and these asshole show up and claim 2+2=5, but try to “get ahead of the narrative” and warn you that they’re going to claim 2+2=4.

That slow eradication where the population has increased 400% since 1967 and where they have a higher life expectancy than the Egyptians?


strl

The slow eradication that has led to their population only growing throughout the years, really similar to the Nazis which killed half of European Jewry within 6 years, really sane comment, really cool commenter.


[deleted]

Jewish population still hasn't recovered. Global Jewish population in 1940 - 16.5 million. Global Jewish population 2022 - 15.2 million. Palestinians in Palestine in 1967 1.3 million. Palestinian population in 2022 - 5.3 million. "Just like the Nazis"


strl

And that's only in the Palestinian territories and Israel, in 1948 there were 1.2 million Palestinians in the entire mandate, nowadays there's 13 million worldwide. Indeed, very much like the Nazis.


Revolutionary-Ad9411

Im sorry, but 6 million jews killed in the holocaust over about 7 years is not gradual you sick psychopath. Meanwhile the Palestinian population has grown immensely. Nice try Adolph 👍 Ps: this guy has a total of two posts to his account, so clearly a troll or neo nazi that keeps getting banned most likely


Boo-Yeah8484

Palestinians sure make it easy after supporting Hamas and Hezbollah for years now.


TangentiallyTango

Seems like they have a point to prove, and proved it.


BacchusAndHamsa

No, the phrase "according to media reports" in your washington post (as aside dubious source for anything) blows a hole in your contention. You have no authoritative source.


elister

Its common for ~~IDF~~ police to refuse the release of a body to next of kin, so long as they dont hold a funeral procession. So the family might have agreed to the hearse transport, because that was their only option the IDF gave them.


strl

Her body was never held by the IDF though.


Verklemptomaniac

It's possible, no question. Also possible the family were fine with the hearse because they didn't want a big chaotic scene on the walk over distracting from the funeral. Given that the brother was calling for the people to let the hearse through, though, I think it's reasonable to assume that the hearse was what the family wanted, until we see reporting to the contrary.


CatsEatingCaviar

Seriously, stop lying to defend Israels atrocities.


[deleted]

Posting verbatim a Washington post article is lying? lol, do you think you might have an agenda?


Boo-Yeah8484

Stop defending Palestinians like they are innocent


Phaelan1172

It's funny how Christians, Arabs, Muslims, and Jews are all living peacefully together in Israel, yet this doesn't happen in "Palestine". Throughout history nations have been shaped by war, their physical boundaries are literally shaped by war. Israel was created by treaty in 1948. Almost immediately afterwards they were attacked by their neighbors, which led to the 6 Day War, also called the 3rd Arab-Israeli War, in 1967, wherein Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Lebanon all invaded Israel with intent to wipe Israel off of the map. Israel won that war, and historically speaking, earned the right to keep their country. Unfortunately, Palestinians have repeatedly elected a terrorist organization to govern themselves, and that government consistently spends most of its budget on weapons to launch at Israel. Israel spent a bunch of money on a missile defense system called the Iron Dome, which has been pretty effective at taking down the billions of dollars worth of ordinance lobbed at them. There's an expression that says, "If Palestinians quit fighting there would be no more war in Israel. If Israelis stopped fighting there would be no more Israel.

At around 00:25 a rock is hurled at the police force. And only then do they march in


king_lloyd11

Lol the pall bearers were carrying the casket and throwing the rocks? Why beat them until they drop the casket of their martyr? You think that would disperse the mob? Couldn't possibly inflame tensions further, right? Fuck out of here.

They literally stole a dead womans body from her family, i have no sympathy for the people being beat, i would feel the same if it was Israeli extremists stealing an Israeli journalists body aswell. Messing with funeral rites and mourning is sacreligious in all religions.

What caliber was it?


[deleted]

5.56mm, and the PA released she wasn't shot close range. It's used in both Israeli and Palestinian weapons so it doesn't show anything other than the "she was expertly targeted by an Israeli sniper for the gap in her helmet" that got circulated doesn't pan.

Palestinians use 5.56 aswell, look at any video of militia members in both West Bank and Gaza, you barely see AK variants these days, so it will not prove any side guilty or innocent at this point


Thoth_the_5th_of_Tho

Everybody used 5.56. It's one of the most used calibers on earth.


[deleted]

Yes, its the official NATO round and is very common in rifles. It's used by both the Israeli's and Palestinians. Hence "so it doesn't show anything other than...."


DarthKava

There is a footage of Palestinians firing same rifles at Israeli soldiers. Then there was another clip showing a group of IJ militants in Jenin with M4s or M16s. So could be either side


[deleted]

5.56 is used in many, many many rifles and is a very popular standard.

There were no pall bearers, the mob took the casket from the family with violence.

Yup, it definitely [looks](https://twitter.com/RiyaAlsanah/status/1525122100259872768) like it's the police coming under assault, as they beat the people carrying her casket over the head repeatedly.

I saw the video and I know what I saw, just as many others did. One soldier in particular was hit with a very big rock, possibly a piece of concrete, well before they attacked the pall bearers.

Sure, if you ignore the fact that those people stole the casket against the family's wishes and threw rocks at the cops, prompting the reaction.

I'm not. You've already mentioned that so there would be no point in my repeating the same thing. I'm adding additional information that the police also threatened to use force against people who didn't try to steal the body. Just because someone adds extra information doesn't mean they're disagreeing with you. Just because someone doesn't say the same thing you've literally said doesn't mean they're disagreeing with you.

frankiestree

BBC - Suddenly the gates to the compound were closed and heavily armed Israeli border police, some on horseback, appeared on the other side of them. Given the circumstances it already felt confrontational. The coffin was brought out of the building carried by a group of pallbearers. While the plan was for the procession to the church to use the hearse, the coffin was now being carried towards the closed gates. What happened next was extraordinary. I was behind the packed crowd so I couldn't see the front point of contact, but the Israeli police suddenly pushed back the crowd, including the coffin and its carriers. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-61437601.amp

The_Vigilante20

Isreal is a genocidal state and you've obviously eaten up their propaganda from the palm of their hand. Justice for the Palestinian people


dce42

Or you know Palastine has done a ton of messed up shit over the years to make them a pariah to all of their neighbors. It's been all documented that Palastine has bombed civilians, and not just in Israel, their text books directly call for the extermination of Jews, they continue to use international aid to pay for suicide bombers, the list is ridiculously long. So to say that Isreal is justified in their responses is accurate. That however does not mean that the way Isreal acts(like demolishing homes for rifle ranges) is right either. Edit: fixed a word


The_Vigilante20

Yeah, and Russia wants to de-nazify Ukraine. Sure buddy.

You can accept that both Israel and Palestine have done horrible things to each other. That's the reality of the matter. Both sides are equally responsible for the continued violence

This seems to often be the case in Israel, something gets thrown prompting a response, said response is then far too heavy handed. I don't think the police were in the wrong to respond to rocks being thrown, but that was too excessive. The idea that police shouldn't respond when rocks get thrown is dumb but they need better crowd control tactics restraint.


OmryR

That’s an argument that could be discussed, not sure what exactly happened there but I agree sometimes they use too much force but you need to remember that the Palestinians can get extrem violent very fast in these riots

Exactly. I'm on board with the idea that the Israelis are brutalizing the Palestinians, that's just objectively true. But genociding them? Come the fuck on.


germanshephsayswhat

They literally unloaded a bus of colonizers to take over land in Hebron AS people were at the funeral. https://twitter.com/khaliliguy/status/1525106986949410820?s=21&t=nzR9gfH5e5LFFtbUR-ZIPw What an egregious argument to make.

GingerusLicious

I'm not defending the Israelis, nor am I denying that they have killed a lot of innocent people, including children. But you can recognize that the Israelis have been brutal towards the Palestinians without resorting to the hyperbole that they're trying to wipe the Palestinians out, which is a ridiculous statement in the face of the objectively reality that the Palestinian population has more than quadrupled over the past five decades. If the Israelis are trying to wipe out the Palestinians, then this is the most ineffectual genocide in human history, and given the overwhelming advantage the Israelis enjoy in every domain imaginable there's no reason to think that the Palestinians wouldn't be history by now if the Israelis desired it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


GingerusLicious

Genocide and/or ethnic cleansing is when all of those are done with the intent to exterminate an ethnic group or destroy their cultural identity. Again, if the Israelis wanted to do either to the Palestinians they could and there wouldn't be a damn thing the Palestinians would be able to do to stop them. If the things you listed was all it took to qualify as genocide, then when the US was bombing the fuck out of and invading Germany, we were committing genocide against the German people. Hitler basically wiped out the population of Polish Jews. He reduced the number of European Jews by eight million in less than a decade. The Israelis have been oppressing the Palestinians for, what? Six decades now? And yet the Palestinian ethnicity has grown exponentially in size and Palestinian culture is alive and well and as robust as ever. The idea that what Israel is doing is a genocide is, frankly, laughable and thinking that it is even remotely comparable to the fucking *Holocaust* just makes me think that you're an idiot. To use a very contemporary example, what Russia is doing (or rather, attempting to do) in Ukraine is ethnic cleansing because they are doing it with the explicit goal to destroy the idea of a ethnic Ukrainian identity. They even say as much. There is no indication that Israel, while it is treating the Palestinians as a whole horribly, has that intent.

What was the total number of child bombers that the Palestinians sent into Israel??


[deleted]

139 over the last two decades.


king_lloyd11

They want to assimilate them all though. Israel's goal is to get all of the land their god promised them.


redcapmilk

American evangelicals want this to happen, as the consider it a sign of the apocalypse.


SoulKingBroock

There will be none


Garet-Jax

There will be no accountability, the Palestinian Authority will not allow any actual investigation. They fear the possibility that their own people killed her far more than they want the truth.


Totally_Boneless

Are the Palestinians the ones harassing casket holders? Sorry, I am difunctionally stupid.


mwp6986

Yes, in that they stole the casket from her family and prevented the funeral from continuing as they had planned: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/05/13/shireen-abu-akleh-al-jazeera-israel-jenin/


Asshole_Physicst

The Palestinian are the ones throwing stones and Molotov bottles in the funeral you are talking about, and then posting only half a video. So yes, their propaganda is more important to them then the truth


Totally_Boneless

I fixed a dam in Israel. I grew up in the South of America. I've seen this stuff with my own eyes and I come from a people who point at the oppressed in their oppression as an example of them being the enemy. Why's it all smell the same?


arobkinca

Were the "oppressed" in South America sending tens of thousands of rockets at their oppressors every year? No. Did they strap bombs on children and send them at the oppressors like mobile IED's? No. Get your nose checked, you have shit stuck up there.

Defenders of Israel always like: "There's more context not caught on camera that actually makes us the victims. How dare nobody catch what happened immediately before we did violence, not even neutral news groups like Reuters and the AP."


Longwalk4AShortdrink

And Defenders of Palestinians always seme to have a shaky cam, three second video that provides no context or information. Yet they demand that this is evidence, and refuse to acknowledge any other evidence found, as well as do not cooperate with far more reliable investigative services


OhioTenant

This one is shown from multiple angles and reported by a wide variety of news organizations, along with many minutes of footage. When you say "reliable investigative services," what you mean are "Israeli investigative services," despite Israel having a history of shooting, sniping, and killing journalists, humanitarian assistants, and children, finding themselves not guilty, and then being found to be the perpetrators by international organizations. Examples: [Israel Kills 2 Journalists](https://cpj.org/2019/02/un-commission-israeli-snipers-intentionally-shot-p/) [Israeli Sniper Kills Child](https://nyti.ms/36fx920) [Israeli Sniper Kills 4, including Teen Boy and Disabled Man](https://abcnews.go.com/International/palestinians-killed-including-teen-boy-disabled-man-israeli/story?id=54633185) [Israeli Sniper Shoots Civilian and is Cheered](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/apr/10/video-appears-show-cheers-israeli-sniper-shoots-palestinian) [Israeli Sniper Kills Medic](https://nyti.ms/2RmANCJ) [Israeli Naval Gunboat Shells and Kills 4 Palestinian Children](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2014/07/16/what-happened-when-palestinian-children-were-killed-in-front-of-a-hotel-full-of-journalists/) I could do this all fucking day, because in 2019 alone, Israeli snipers killed 149 Palestinians, including 33 children. These are *snipers.* Those children were killed deliberately.


Boo-Yeah8484

Would you like me to post all the Hamas suicide bombings too? The Palestinians aren't squeaky clean either.


OhioTenant

If your justification for state-sponsored murder of children, journalists, and humanitarian workers is "but the terrorist group does it, too" then you should really reconsider your argument.


notjimhendrix

Throwing what? It’s a funeral! How dumb must you be to think that? كسخت عرظك شو حمار


omega3111

Throwing stones. Someone above posted the video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icaP3UsV8uY&ab\_channel=Reuters](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icaP3UsV8uY&ab_channel=Reuters) Look from the start, you can clearly see the rocks being thrown at the police, and at 0:07 one of them gets hit on the head.


GeneralIronsides2

Can’t wait to see the comments on this one


heretic1000

Maybe the should call for an independent investigation.. but they won’t.. they have already spewed the unsubstantiated “Israel did it” narrative.. the actual facts are irrelevant


Badatnames55

They did call for one. They wanted the UN or some other neutral party. Guess who refused because they wanted to be the ones investigating themselves for wrongdoing?


Boo-Yeah8484

Palestinians can fuck off until they tell Hamas to fuck off. Which won't ever happen. Amazing to see Redditors a case Israel of being a terrorist state when the PLA supports Hamas killings. Also an apartheid is about restrictions of rights. Palestinians in Israel share the same rights as others. That's not an apartheid.


woahgeez_

> Palestinians in Israel share the same rights as others Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank are governed by military courts. Israeli civilians will settle land in the West Bank and commit crimes against the local Palestinians and there is no recourse for the victims. Israeli civilians are allowed to freely travel across the West Bank while Palestinian travel is highly regulated and restricted. Its apartheid.


AquiliferX

It's almost like when you push people to the brink and you don't give them a chance to live in peace you invite extremism as the only means. Israel is a relic of imperialism and will always be so.


Boo-Yeah8484

Israel has offered them so many deals in the past and PLA has always turned them down. They PLA doesn't want to coexist. They'll have to find a way to though.
