Of #ShireenAbuAkleh and further, of the Miko Peled (@mikopeled) video podcast I'm about to view tonight, concerning this murder.
1/
Note: I've no idea of the tack in the podcast Mr Peled will take. Nevertheless, I'm not here to tell of it after viewing either.
I will say
2/
In the preamble text to the podcast Mr Peled offers the highest level in the chain of command of the IOF must have given order to kill Ms Akleh.
I'll view and think.
But, I hadn't really considered that.
I'd arrived to think that:
a) an IOF sniper had made the hit via a
3/
situational decision and autonomously.
And or b) that decision was not necessarily as an identification of Ms Akleh except as being press.
It's a stunner if she was opportunely targeted and more, that a check with command say, giving positive ID brought permission to kill.
4/
I'm here to say up-front and with no ambiguity. Before viewing the podcast. If IOF Command knew identity via some means. Be from the sniper or by any other situational manner. Then this is even more heinous a killing than I considered.
And, to be sure. PRESS are inviable
5/
to Israel action by maybe even command to kill than I've ever understood of there.
The sheer brazen and utter disregard to international norms I think here in this. Are tantamount to using the very person of reporter Ms Akleh like a word itself, the noun if you like. As
6/
a conscious and purposeful object, comprehended of and callously selected to state more than is usual even to the Palestinians. Or even to all Journalists of the network she worked for that day at least, and beyond.
It's at least a statement to all governments at the
7/
least being allied to Israel. That the Israeli will murder any one in the field they wish. Anybody!
It's beyond, isn't it!
What level are Israeli at? The IOF or the violent in residence as Israeli
The journalist class, any, are utterly warned & too the State they are from.
8/
A Command decision and/or pre-considered murder!
Unbelievable!
Targeting!
I'll get to the podcast later.
Thanks for reading.
Call me nieve. Yet no, I'm not really. I'm simply more hopeful for human folks
Though, now, am writing off the bulk of Israeli?
I'll let you know

COMMENT: this is currently happening in Egypt with Gazan students at an airport who left the besieged enclave under permission of Israel to travel to USA for higher education.
Thread.
1/?
I'll not tell the entire story.
I will tell what I currently know.
2/?
One of the students I am in touch with. Is a trainee Docter who just graduated from university in Gaza and attained a position at Berkeley
I paid for the final year. Her father became especially ill during this and so, I took up education costs.
In the interim, he passed.
3/?
Nevertheless, she achieved the degree and we waited to get her through to Egypt via arrangements previously made with Berkeley, Gazan authorities and the university in Gaza (and I expect Israel also).
A short day or three ago, she travelled in the group to Egypt.
It's settled down a while here after a packed several weeks. Webinars; news; psy-ops recognition and my self defense; various hectic events with a bod or two I help; blah de blah in other quarters.
I'm here now to plan the remaining day
2/
and not pray (it's not religious in my world), but thank the lucky stars for a likely hood tomorrow is chanced to arrive more than not?
Ukraine I'm referring to and possible escalation
Anyhow, several days behind on video media now. I've to review, file and tweet the recent.
3/
Of worthy note to tell seems a new found disposition to me. I aimed for similar. This is the upshot: its occurred to read as I shall and do. And I've expressed prior a while back, I needed to.
Anyhow, now, well well well... there are options to my capacity I think. I'll go
