The unfortunate death of Shireen Abu Akleh, a Palestinian-American journalist on the 11th of May, 2022 is indeed a hard blow to her media family, Aljazeera and as expected has become a daily and integral part of the Aljazeera’s news since the 11th of May 2022 till date.
It is alleged that she was intentionally shot by the Israeli army and constant pressure has been mounted by Aljazeera, Joe Biden, and the UN authority for a compulsory investigation of all the missiles/rockets shot by the Israeli Army to bring the culprit to book.
The media has gone as far as digging up past incidences of related deaths to prove their point against Israel as a violent and lawless nation. UN Human Rights Office (OHCHR) spokeswoman, Ravina Shamdasani went ahead to say that from all information gathered, the shots that killed Abu Akleh and injured her colleague Ali Sammoudi came from Israeli forces.
Aljazeera Fight Israeli For Killing Shireen Abu Akleh
The fishy/shady thing about the whole circumstance is the continuous clamoring of Aljazeera / Joe Biden on investigating Israel on the Journalist that was shot dead, while they are yet to investigate all the missiles/rockets shot by Palestinians.
This has become very hypocritical, and unfortunately, all fingers are pointing at Israel. Israel has never been on the good book of Aljazeera, Palestinians, and some of these organizations pushing to crucify them for being responsible for the death of Shireen. Hence the news is blown out of proportion and no day has passed without the Israeli army being dragged on the news backed up by several protests.
One would be tempted to ask if the UN had such energy/force as well as the time to sit and deliberate on issues of this nature, what happened to most incidences that are even more brutal and inhuman than the issue at hand that has been swept under the carpet?

Not long ago, a girl was burnt to death in Sokoto, Nigeria because she allegedly blasphemed Prophet Mohammed. Christians and many lives are wasted on daily basis; nobody is saying anything about it.
Many Israelis have been stabbed to death yet they have never called for an investigation. There have been notable killings all over the world especially Christians in Nigeria, yet no investigation has been proposed.
Does the UN have a human rights department as much as a spokeswoman? What has that office done to salvage the intensifying violation of human rights all over the world?
Nobody is saying that Shireen’s death should be disregarded, but the way the world is going about it, only boils down to one fact that has been denied for a long time; hatred for Israel and if this particular issue should be the only opportunity to destroy them or nail them, who cares?
Such should not be the case. United Nations should know better than being instruments of bias. Equity, transparency, and justice speak volumes of equal opportunities and treatment, to win the people’s confidence.
The masses have become used to being entitled to rights that only exist on paper and no structure to ensure that such rights can protect their lives. But where an “important personality” by the standard of the world for any reason loses a hair, then all hell will be let loose. Indeed, It’s a pity.
