AIPAC Update
This Wednesday, a Palestinian-American journalist, Shireen Abu Akleh, was tragically killed while reporting for Al Jazeera in the West Bank.
[link removed]
What we know: Israeli forces were operating in the West Bank town of Jenin to arrest wanted terrorist operatives, following a wave of terror attacks that have left 19 Israelis dead. Palestinian gunmen opened fire on Israeli forces, who returned fire.
Palestinians and news media have rushed to blame Israel.
-
Al Jazeera had contradictory reporting on its Arabic and English media outlets, even suggesting that Palestinians weren’t shooting at all despite video evidence to the contrary.
-
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas ridiculously called it an "execution."
American and Israeli officials call for an investigation, while Palestinians reject cooperation.
-
Israel has established a special team to thoroughly investigate the situation.
-
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides and State Department Spokesperson Ned Price have publicly supported a thorough investigation, as have other U.S. officials.
-
The Palestinian Authority has rejected an Israeli request to conduct a joint probe or even allow Israel to analyze the evidence, instead choosing to use the situation to incite further violence against Israel.
The bottom line: It is an outrage that the Palestinian Authority refuses to share evidence into the death of Shireen Abu Akleh.
-
Blaming Israel before a thorough, objective investigation is pure propaganda.
America must continue to support Israel as it protects its people from terrorists.
-
The U.S. should also support Israel's efforts to conduct an investigation, encourage the PA to cooperate, and urge all sides to refrain from hurling unfounded accusations.
