Watching live as Israeli army broke into the French hospital in Jerusalem and attacked the funeral of Shireen Abu Aqleh. They almost knocked down her casket. She was put in a hearse & the army is ripping flowers and Palestinian flags off the hearse… I am in shock…
What did we just watch!! Israel can’t exist without dominating every aspect of Palestinian life & death and space & time.

I’ve been trying to process what happened today. Trying to process the loss of #ShireenAbuAqla. I cried watching her body being carried through the streets of Ramallah by her fellow Palestinians. Got a call from my mother early this morning: “Shireen Abu Aqla’s been killed!” 1/
