A cruel attack on human dignity

Shireen Abu Akleh was a Palestinian who also held American citizenship. She had chosen to stay in her hometown, Jerusalem, and do her job as a journalist with the Free Information Service.

She fell, killed by a bullet in the head, presumably fired by a special Israeli security unit. In addition, the Israeli police attacked the pallbearers of his coffin, which almost fell from their hands, and set about tearing down the Palestinian flags that covered his coffin. A cruel attack on human dignity, on the body of a fifty-one-year-old woman who wanted to tell the truth with her bare hands.

I can only think of those barbaric hordes who crucified Jesus Christ, the defender of the poor and unloved in society. This same Christ who left us as a command to forgive and pray for those who persecute us.
