The Search for Truth in the Death of a Journalist
(Ynet News) Ron Ben-Yishai - The Palestinians and Al Jazeera don't want the truth behind the death of reporter Shireen Abu Akleh. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Hamas wish to leverage her death for political and propaganda purposes, and that is why they reject any offer for an objective investigation. Even if such an investigation is launched, they will make sure to destroy any shred of evidence that might point to the probable scenario that the Palestinian militants who were firing wantonly were the ones who killed her. The Palestinians rushed to declare the journalist a martyr because it serves the constant war of propaganda which Abbas and Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar lead against Israel. But their assertions are grounded in nothing except deafening victimhood that is aimed at painting Israel as the aggressor.
