The killing of Al Jazeerajournalist Shireen Abu Akleh by Israeli forces in Jenin is an act of savagery that the so-called civilised world must condemn.
The disgusting display of raw firepower in Gaza and the West Bank is unacceptable. The twisted media in the West is as guilty as the Israeli security killing machine.
International diplomacy to resolve the Middle East crisis is non-existent as the momentum to achieve peaceful dialogue diminishes by the hour.
The resort to brutal force will serve as a catalyst that will one day envelop the planet in a serious war. Journalists are our eyes and ears, so stop killing them.
