    The murder of Shereen by the IDF is a crime and who ever pulled the Triger to assassinate her should be brought to justice. Israel always say wants peace but this act of violence against un armed civilian will not bring peace to them they always get away of murdering Palestinian women and children. and for this reason and this senseless killing of innocent Palestinian the Israeli will never have peace.
  • Do you expect the killer to carry on fair investigation after doing the act? It's like shooting one self in the legs
  • It's disgusting how the IDF has gotten away with such atrocities. Israel has no idea how the tide is turning. The world is starting to see.
  • Now what ??? Like this is something new ? It has all been like this but the media wouldn’t report it .

    Just watch how Muslims and Christians are one hand Praying together one heart. No division No racism this is what Palestine is known for the land of the profits
  • Too many were killed by Israel, children, civilians, caregivers, journalists. no matter how brutal they are, the United Nations, America and their allies choose silence and support whatever Israel does, will this tragic story end the same?! Watch them curse without law and justice and then forget it
  • Israel said, it was a Palestinian guy that shot her. Really now ? the autopsy should show who that bullet belonged to ! They don't have the same weapons....Bullets don't lie....Reporting conflicts is always very dangerous.....These reporters have their life on the line. She died doing what she loved. Respect for her ! Investigation needed about who really shot her. They know. Someone knows.

    The world talks about Ukraine, but it does not talk about the crime that is happening now in Palestine
  • Did people forget this or something ..now they think that Israel has not committed atrocities
  • The United States should end military aid to Israel. 1. Israel can pay for its own military. Israel has a strong economy, an excellent international credit rating, and runs frequent budget surplus. Israel ran an annual surplus of more than a billion dollars six out of the last ten years. 2. Military aid to Israel is a security risk. Israel is a major supplier of military technology to China. These sales have been instrumental in the modernization of the Chinese military. Israel developed the Lavi fighter from American technology with 1.5 billion in American subsidies. Israel sold the Lavi fighter to China. It is now called the J-10 and is the mainstay of the Chinese Air Force. Israel has also sold China missile guidance systems,, advanced radar systems and targeting systems. 3. Israel is a diplomatic liability. 4. Military aid to Israel is illegal under the Leahy Law because of Israel's human rights violations. Any aid to Israel is illegal under the Symington amendment which prohibits aid to nations with nuclear weapons that have not signed the nuclear non-proliferation treaty and do not permit inspections of their nuclear sites
  • The most important thing to be remembered about her that she was against Israel and she was good in exposing Israel lies.
  • Israel has committed atrocities for a very long time and they have always blamed someone else.... It is time for Israel to be held accountable for the things that they do
  • @321usa
    That is really sad honestly its heartbreaking
