AIPAC Lobbies Against Probe Of US-Palestinian Journalist Likely Murdered By Israeli Sniper

Twenty-four U.S. senators sent a letter to President Biden on Thursday urging an FBI and State Department investigation of the May 11 killing of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in the West Bank. They did so in defiance of the influential American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), which actively lobbied against the letter.

Abu Akleh, a star reporter for al Jazeera, was shot in the head on May 11 in the West Bank town of Jenin, as she and her crew reported on an Israeli raid on a refugee camp. The Al Jazeera crew and other witnesses said Israeli forces were responsible, but the Israeli government raced to blame "Palestinian terrorists firing indiscriminately," tweeting a video that purported to support the claim.

However, demonstrating a sharply heightened capacity for honest reporting about Israel when Israel's victim happens to be a journalist, several major U.S. media outlets have investigated the incident and concluded Abu Akleh was most likely killed by Israeli security forces.

CNN was particularly forceful, saying its multifaceted forensic investigation concluded that Abu Akleh was “shot dead in a targeted attack by Israeli forces.” In addition to video and acoustic evidence, the tight shot group on the tree she was standing next to was indicative of careful and deliberate fire, an expert told CNN. Abu Akleh and her crew were all wearing helmets and vests marked "PRESS."

Associated Press said its reconstruction of the incident "lends support to assertions from both Palestinian authorities and Abu Akleh’s colleagues that the bullet that cut her down came from an Israeli gun."

The Washington Post said its examination of several dozen videos, social media posts and photos of the event, along with two physical inspections of the area and two independent expert acoustic analyses of the gunshots, "suggests an Israeli soldier…likely shot and killed Abu Akleh."

Late to the party and lukewarm in language, the New York Times on Monday said the bullet that struck Abu Akleh “was fired from the approximate position of an Israeli military vehicle.”

According to Reporters Without Borders, Israel has killed at least 30 journalists since 2000, including two Palestinians shot by IDF snipers while reporting on protests near the Gaza-Israel border in 2018.

Democrat Rep. Jackie Speier Incites Violence, Calls on Pro-Abortion Activists to “Armor Up” Because “There’s a War Out There”

Democrat Rep. Jackie Speier (CA) incited violence on Friday after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade.

Abortion laws will now be decided by the states.

“It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives,” Justice Alito wrote.

Democrat lawmakers such as Maxine Waters and AOC immediately called for an insurrection.

Rep. Speier appeared on far-left MSNBC and straight up incited violence.

“There is a war out there and we need to recognize that we’ve got to armor up,” Speier said.

Democrat Rep. Ayanna Pressley chimed in, “That’s right. This is not a drill.”

Recall, Jackie Speier was part of a group of House Democrats who censured GOP Congressman Paul Gosar over a cartoon video.

“For a Member of Congress to post a manipulated video on his social media accounts depicting himself killing Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and attacking President Biden is a clear cut case for censure,” Speier said in a joint statement with other lawmakers last November. “For that Member to post such a video on his official Instagram account and use his official congressional resources in the House of Representatives to further violence against elected officials goes beyond the pale.”

Barack Obama also activated the left-wing shock troops on Friday morning after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade.

DNC Chair Claims That the Supreme Court is Now ‘Illegitimate’

Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison claimed that the Supreme Court of the United States is now “illegitimate” after overturning Roe v. Wade.

Harrison made his shocking comments in response to a tweet from Sen. Lindsey Graham celebrating the ruling.

“Today’s decision by the Supreme Court is a long overdue constitutional correction allowing for elected officials in the states to decide issues of life,” Graham had tweeted. “Roe was Constitutionally unsound from its inception as the flawed legal theory behind the decision gives unlimited power to five unelected Supreme Court justices. I believe it was one of the largest power grabs in the history of the Supreme Court.”

Graham added, “Under the Roe theory, almost anything could be a constitutional right depending on the views of five justices on substantive due process.”

Harrison quote tweeted Graham’s thread and wrote, “It isn’t up to you, this illegitimate court, or a bunch of state elected officials to decide what happens to a woman’s body… that choice belongs to a woman and no one else! Period!!!”

“Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the majority opinion. “Its reasoning was exceptionally weak, and the decision has had damaging consequences. And far from bringing about a national settlement of the abortion issue, Roe and Casey have enflamed debate and deepened division.”

Justice Samuel Alito wrote that the Roe court “usurped the power to address a question of profound moral and social importance that the Constitution unequivocally leaves for the people.”

“It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives,” the ruling stated.

Justices Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan filed a joint dissent.

Abortion laws have now been kicked back to the states to decide for themselves.

Boston Hospital LOSES Baby’s Remains, Claims She Was Thrown Away With Soiled Linens and Medical Waste

Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston is facing a lawsuit after allegedly losing the remains of a premature baby that had passed away.

The hospital claims that the baby was likely thrown away with soiled linens and medical waste by mistake, while her family was planning the funeral.

Alana Ross and Daniel McCarthy had a baby that they named Everleigh on July 25, 2020 — though she was very premature and suffered medical issues that landed her in the newborn intensive care unit.

It was not until August 1 that the new parents were allowed to hold their baby, but they were informed that the hospital had exhausted their medical treatments and Everleigh passed away just a few days later.

According to a report from Boston 25, the lawsuit explains that an unnamed hospital staffer informed the couple that Everleigh’s body would “safely be transported to the morgue” while they prepared the funeral arrangements. When the nurse brought the body to the morgue, they were reportedly told to “put it anywhere.”

However, when workers from the funeral home arrived to pick up the baby’s body — it was gone.

“The hospital also allegedly failed to electronically document her remains, which were said to be left on a metal rack designated for adults,” the report explains. “The documents further stated that Everleigh’s remains were likely thrown away with ‘soiled linens’ from the morgue.”

The sketchy story does not end there.

When notified about the missing body, the Boston Police Department sprung into action and found out where the medical waste was transported to.

While attempting to find Everleigh, the officers spent many hours “digging through blood-soaked clothing, feces-covered linens, and other medical waste,” but she was no where to be found, according to the police.

Boston 25 reported, “when asked how likely it was that he threw away the baby in a soiled linen container, a worker told investigators that it ‘seems like the likely scenario’ and that ‘mistakes of other people who have access to the morgue set off a chain of events that were unavoidable.'”

The hospital provided the following comment to the local station:

“We continue to express our deepest sympathies and most sincere apologies to the Ross and McCarthy family for their loss and the heartbreaking circumstances surrounding it,” said Sunil Eappen, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

“As with any instance in which there is a concern raised related to our standard of care or practice, we readily and transparently shared the details with the patient’s family. We always evaluate both system and human factors that contribute to errors or potential issues raised by patients, family members or staff and take action. Due to pending litigation, we are unable to comment specifically on this case,” said Dr. Eappen.

Everleigh is still missing to this day.
