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.
2/
@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."

THERE WERE NO IDF SOLDIERS SHOOTING FROM BUILDINGS.

3/
@nytimes @PatrickKingsley Once those facts are known, and that at least two buildings are in the range of the forensics, you have much different question: who is more likely to shoot wildly in that direction, the IDF that knows there are journalists there or Jenin militants who fire without looking?
4/
@nytimes @PatrickKingsley And the fact that no one had followed the evidence I documented of Arab shooters shows that the media is looking for a reason to blame a professional army for deliberately shooting at journalists.

Why has no one else translated this video? elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2022/05/more-i…
@nytimes @PatrickKingsley There is a willful desire not to look for any other potential shooter. And that is a problem.

An English lesson:

"There were no known militants in the area" does not mean the same thing as "There were no militants in the area."

@nytimes @washingtonpost @AP @CNN @bellingcat
@nytimes @washingtonpost @AP @CNN @bellingcat A reporting lesson:

Ignoring multiple witnesses saying there were shooters in buildings doesn't mean there were no shooters in buildings.

#ShireenAbuAkleh
@nytimes @washingtonpost @AP @CNN @bellingcat A physics lesson:

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."

A math lesson:
210>195.

Here's the @nytimes illustration of Abu Akleh, the IDF & the position of the camera. I added exactly where the IDF lead vehicle was, showing it is too far for those shots. I show two potential Palestinian sniper positions that no other analyst even considers despite witnesses. Image
@nytimes A reminder: We have on video a resident pointing out multiple shooter positions in buildings, pointing in that direction. Both main witnesses to the shooting originally said they came from buildings; the IDF wasn't in buildings.Southern potential position is ideal for snipers.

This has been my day:

E:"I have found serious problems with @bellingcat's report, why won't you address them?"
B:"Because you are an idiot."
E:"OK, can you explain why I'm an idiot?"
B:"I don't want to waste my time."

@bellingcat Other1: "I read his stuff and don't think he's an idiot"
B: "You aren't an expert like me."
Other2: "If so, you can explain why, right?"
B:"I'm not wasting my valuable time."
Other3: "Lots of people read EoZ, he seems legit."
B: "You Zionists are all echo chamber idiots."
2/
@bellingcat Other4: "You sure are spending a lot of time insulting us instead of addressing the issues."
B: "The WaPo and CNN echoed our findings. That should be good enough for you."
Other5: "Is that your definition of OSINT?"
B: "You are an idiot."

Dear @SallyBuzbee,

I just received your welcome letter for subscribing to the @washingtonpost. I admire and share your stated goal of relentlessly pursuing the truth.

I wrote a critique of your investigation into the death of Shireen Abu Akleh here: elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2022/06/the-wa…

1/ Image
@SallyBuzbee @washingtonpost I have been an online journalist for over 15 years. Despite my ironic name, I am not a crank. I am transparent and show my work for anyone to reproduce.

And your article is severely flawed.

If you really care about the truth, please address the issues I bring up.

2/
@SallyBuzbee @washingtonpost If you really respect your readers, investigate my evidence. If your experts can show I'm a fool, that's great. But the issues I brought up about distances being wrong and ignoring other evidence is real.

I hope you will read my critique and the WaPo will respond.

I KEEP FINDING MORE PROOF THAT #PalestiniansKilledShireen.

In this May 13 interview by the Committee to Protect Journalists @pressfreedom, Shatha Hanaysha who was next to Shireen when she was killed, said, where the shots came from.

1/

cpj.org/2022/05/inspir…
@pressfreedom "We were facing a house and an open space. We were fired upon from an area above us and shots hit the tree I was standing behind from above. It was where Israeli occupation forces were. "

The IDF was down the hill, not above them. The only people above were Jenin snipers.
2/
@pressfreedom On the other side of the open space, to the southeast, was the 3 story house I identified as the most likely sniper spot that shot Shireen.

This is further corroboration.

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.
@SarahCahlan @mmkelly22 @SBHendrix
1/ Image
@washingtonpost @SarahCahlan @mmkelly22 @SBHendrix They include an 8 minute video of people and reporters before Abu Akleh's death. But they don't translate the whole thing, where the witnesses JOKE about the many Palestinian shebab snipers ALL OVER JENIN. And they point them out - to the southeast. elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2022/05/more-i…

2/ Image
@washingtonpost @SarahCahlan @mmkelly22 @SBHendrix The interview Ali Samoudi, a known Pallywood liar. He says that he knows the bullets came from the IDF convoy. But on May 11, he said they came from roofs of buildings "opposite" from him. WaPo didn't ask him about that.

There is line of sight from buildings across.
