[Thread 🧵] 2022 se termine, l’occasion de revenir sur 10 événements marquants qui ont eu lieu en Palestine et dans le monde. Des moments de victoire, de souffrance, de solidarité et de résistance qui jalonnent la voie vers le retour et la libération de la Palestine. ⤵
1⃣ En mars, le gouvernement français prononce la dissolution du Collectif Palestine Vaincra, une attaque sans précédent contre le mouvement de solidarité avec la Palestine en France. Suite à une large mobilisation, le décret de dissolution est suspendue par le Conseil d'État.
2⃣ La journaliste #ShireenAbuAkleh est assassinée par l'armée israélienne le 11 mai 2022 à Jénine. Sa mort provoque une vague d'indignation mondiale. Durant son enterrement à Jérusalem, l'armée israélienne attaque le cortège funèbre, dévoilant sa grande cruauté.
Israel says it won't cooperate in a reported U.S. investigation on the killing of Palestinian-American journalist #ShireenAbuAkleh. The U.S. has not yet confirmed the probe.

Family of #ShireenAbuAkleh welcomed news of a possible U.S. investigation into her killing:
"It is what the United States should do when a U.S. citizen is killed abroad... by a foreign military."
The U.S. has delayed a formal investigation for 6 months.

Nach monatelangem Leugnen & Beschuldigen der Pal. gibt die 🇮🇱Armee zu, dass einer ihrer Soldaten die 🇵🇸/🇺🇸 Journalistin #ShireenAbuAkleh getötet hat. Es wird weder Bestrafung noch weitere Ermittlungen geben. 🇵🇸 Augenzeugen, darunter Journalisten, sagten dies vom ersten Tag an.1/6
Die Untersuchung behauptet, dass der Soldat sie möglicherweise als Kämpfer identifizierte. Shireen trug einen blauen Helm & eine blaue Weste mit Großbuchstaben "PRESS" & war mit anderen Journalisten. Der Soldat schoss hinter das Ohr & zielte so genau zwischen Helm & Weste. 2/6
🇮🇱Armee, Regierung & @IsraelinGermany verbreiteten Fake News auf der Grundlage eines Videos, das nahelegen sollte, dass andere 🇵🇸 sie getötet hätten.

Israeli snipers killed journalist #ShireenAbuAkleh as she was covering Israeli raids in the occupied West Bank.
Israel initially tried to blame Palestinians for the killing. The UN disproved this claim, finding "no evidence" for it.

Journalist #ShireenAbuAkleh's family is in DC to demand justice after Israeli forces killed the Palestinian American journalist on May 11.

Nearly 20 years before #ShireenAbuAkleh was killed, an Israeli solider killed U.S. citizen Rachel Corrie while she was protesting the demolition of a Palestinian family's home.
The soldier killed her using a U.S.-made bulldozer. The U.S. still hasn't held Israel accountable.

The shock and pain of Shireen’s friends and colleagues, just 6 weeks on from her murder, is palpable.
Her niece Lina, by video link, called her‘my best friend’.
‘A part of me is broken’, she said-but because Shireen was brave & optimistic, she has to go on, and hope for justice

Saying that "audio analysis shows the shooter was 170-195 meters away" means that a group that is over 210 meters away from the camera CANNOT have shot the gun, not that they MUST have fired the gun."

The @nytimes analysis of #ShireenAbuAkleh's death is slightly more complete than the others - but it still assumes that lack of video evidence is evidence of no one else there.

@nytimes @PatrickKingsley At least the NYT notes the other militants on video to the southeastand finds no line of sight, which no one else did. Somehow - I'm trying to find out - they extended the audio analysis to include, barely, the distance to the IDF. However, it is still lacking major facts.

@nytimes @PatrickKingsley It does not account for the witnesses, on video, that saw snipers to the southeast.
It does not account for journalists who said initially that the fire was "across" from them and from "buildings."

Important finding from our analysis of #ShireenAbuAkleh’s death: the forensic calculation used by major media outlets to determine the shooter’s distance is incorrect.
This was used by @bellingcat @CNN @wapo to implicate an @IDF shooter, and by @elderofziyon to exclude the IDF.
This was used by @bellingcat @CNN @wapo to implicate an @IDF shooter, and by @elderofziyon to exclude the IDF.
The original work used the time delay between the supersonic shock wave of the bullet passing next to the camera, and the muzzle blast coming from the rifle, to determine a distance to the shooter of 175 to 197 meters.
Two different forensic experts: Robert C. Maher and Steven Beck performed this analysis, reaching similar estimates, which were used to implicate an IDF force located at a similar distance from Shireen.

Il proiettile è un tipo perforante utilizzato dalle forze di difesa israeliane ed è stato sparato da un fucile M-4, afferma la TV del Qatar. Ha aggiunto che il proiettile, la cui punta era dipinta di verde, si è distorto quando ha colpito il caschetto di Abu Akleh. ⬇3
The @washingtonpost did its own "analysis" of #ShireenAbuAkleh's death, and ignores the same evidence that the others did. Because they had already determined the outcome before the "investigation" they ignored the more compelling evidence.
