| Darc Requiem said: Hind's case is going to be a repeat of Shireen Abu Akleh. They are going to release some tacit admission a couple of years from now when the firestorm has completely died down. |
Yeah that "apology" aged like sour milk

“I think it’s an opportunity for me to say here that we are very sorry of the death of Shireen Abu Akleh,” he said.
“She was a journalist, a very established journalist. In Israel we value our democracy and in a democracy we see high value in journalism and in a free press. We want journalists to feel safe in Israel, especially in war time, even if they criticize us,” he said.
Now Al Jazeera is banned in Israel by law and over a 100 journalists have been killed in Gaza.

And nothing comes of it
While the IDF admitted for the first time last September that there was a “high possibility” Abu Akleh was “accidentally” shot and killed by Israeli fire, its Military Advocate General’s Office said in a statement that it did not intend to pursue criminal charges or prosecutions of any of the soldiers involved.
The CPJ said its report – titled ‘Deadly Pattern’ – found a “routine sequence” that takes place when a journalist is killed at the hands of the IDF.
“Israeli officials discount evidence and witness claims, often appearing to clear soldiers for the killings while inquiries are still in progress,” the CPJ said, describing the IDF’s procedure for examining military killings of civilians such as journalists as a “black box,” with the results of any such probe kept confidential.
“When probes do take place, the Israeli military often takes months or years to investigate killings and families of the mostly Palestinian journalists have little recourse inside Israel to pursue justice,” the CPJ said.
And here we are seeing the result of decades of impunity. From 20 journalists in 22 years to 108 in 9 months.
