Shireen Abu Akleh (03/04/1971, East Jerusalem, Occupied Palestinian Territories – 11/05/2022, Jenin, Occupied West Bank) was a Palestinian-American journalist and one of the most authoritative and recognizable voices in contemporary Arab media, and a long-time correspondent for Al Jazeera in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
She was born into a Palestinian Christian family of the Greek Melkite rite in East Jerusalem. Her parents, Louli and Nasri Abu Akleh, died when Shireen was still young. Part of her maternal family lived in the United States, in New Jersey, which allowed her to spend periods of her life in the US and later obtain American citizenship. Her identity, however, always remained deeply rooted in Palestine and Jerusalem.
She attended the Rosary Sisters School in Beit Hanina (East Jerusalem). She initially studied architecture at the Jordan University of Science and Technology in Jordan, but soon realized that her true calling was journalism. She then transferred to Yarmouk University, where she earned a degree in journalism. After completing her studies, she returned to Palestine and began working for local and international media outlets, including Radio Monte Carlo, Voice of Palestine, UNRWA, Amman Satellite Channel, and the organization MIFTAH.
In 1997 she joined Al Jazeera, becoming one of the network’s first field correspondents. From that moment on, for more than 25 years, Shireen Abu Akleh continuously covered the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: from the Second Intifada to military raids in refugee camps, from operations in the Gaza Strip to nightly arrests in the West Bank. She often worked on the front lines, recognizable by her helmet and vest marked PRESS, and became a familiar face to millions of people across the Arab world.
Her style was direct, sober, and rigorous. She did not seek sensationalism: she reported on everyday life under occupation, home demolitions, checkpoints, civilian casualties, fear, and also the resilience of the Palestinian people. For many Palestinians she was the voice that told their existence to the world. For countless young journalists, especially women, she became a model of courage and professionalism.
On 11 May 2022, while covering an Israeli military operation in the Jenin refugee camp, Shireen Abu Akleh was shot in the head and died shortly afterward. She was wearing clearly marked press equipment and was with other journalists who were visibly identifiable as media.
Eyewitnesses, Al Jazeera, Palestinian health authorities, and later independent journalistic investigations indicated that the shot came from Israeli army positions. Israel initially denied responsibility, then stated that it was “possible” the bullet was fired by an Israeli soldier, but “not intentionally.” This ambiguous formulation had a precise effect: blocking any criminal prosecution.
No independent and effective criminal investigation was opened by the State of Israel, nor by the United States, despite Shireen being an American citizen. International mechanisms, including United Nations bodies, have not produced a binding judicial process. In the absence of an officially identified perpetrator, no soldier has been indicted.
In practice, the case has remained without justice.
Shireen Abu Akleh was not an unknown or marginal journalist: she was bilingual, internationally respected, present for decades in the most sensitive areas of the occupation, and capable of giving global credibility to Palestinian testimony. For this reason, she was considered a dangerous and inconvenient voice.
She was killed while doing her job.
Today Shireen Abu Akleh is remembered as a symbol of press freedom, of journalism as testimony, and of the extremely high price paid by those who report on oppression. Her death represents not only the loss of a great professional, but also the failure of the international community to guarantee justice for those who are killed while exercising the right to inform.
Daniel Pearl was born in Atlanta, Georgia, into a Jewish family shaped by strong intellectual and ethical values. His father, an Israeli engineer, and his mother, an educator, encouraged curiosity, critical thinking, music, and engagement with the world. He studied Communication at Stanford University, where he developed a deep interest in international affairs, cultural dialogue, and the power of journalism as a bridge between societies. From the beginning of his career, Pearl showed a preference for on-the-ground reporting rather than distant analysis, believing that truth could only be approached through direct human contact. He worked for several newspapers, including the San Jose Mercury News, before joining The Wall Street Journal, where he specialized in global economics, foreign policy, and security issues. His reporting took him across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, always focusing on how political decisions affected ordinary people. Pearl eventually became South Asia bureau chief for The Wall Street Journal, based in Pakistan, a position that placed him at the center of some of the most complex geopolitical tensions in the world. Privately, Daniel Pearl was known as gentle, humorous, curious, and deeply humane. He loved music, played the violin, and believed strongly in dialogue between cultures and religions. He was married to journalist Mariane Pearl, who was pregnant with their first child at the time of his abduction. In early 2002, Pearl was investigating the hidden infrastructure behind jihadist movements: how extremist groups were financed, how they recruited, how they operated across borders, and how they maintained connections with criminal networks and elements inside state and intelligence structures. He traveled to Karachi seeking sources who could clarify the relationship between militant organizations, Al-Qaeda operatives, and international funding channels. On January 23, 2002, Pearl was abducted after going to meet a supposed intermediary. His captors accused him of being a spy, an allegation never supported by evidence. During captivity, he was forced to appear in propaganda videos designed to intimidate journalists and governments. After days of imprisonment, Daniel Pearl was brutally murdered by beheading. The execution was filmed and distributed as a political message. Investigations later identified individuals involved in the kidnapping and killing, but serious questions remain about broader networks, logistical support, and possible intelligence failures or cover-ups. Daniel Pearl’s death became one of the most infamous attacks on a journalist in modern history. He came to represent the extreme risks faced by reporters who investigate terrorism and power structures. His legacy lives on through journalism awards, foundations supporting press freedom, and the continued struggle of journalists worldwide who refuse to stop asking difficult questions. Daniel Pearl is remembered not only as a victim of terror, but as a man who believed that understanding, truth, and human connection were stronger than fear.
I publish this series to remember real history, to honor those who gave their lives for dignity, freedom, and justice, to oppose propaganda and manipulated narratives, to speak to younger generations, and to invite conscience, awareness, and resistance against injustice, oppression, and silence.

On 5 February 2018 begins what many call the „trial of the century,“ Juliana v. United States. Supported by the small nonprofit Our Children‘s Trust, 21 diverse young Americans are suing to compel the US to implement a comprehensive science-based climate recovery plan that would effectively reverse Trump‘s withdrawal from the Paris accord and multiple other climate reversals.
We discussed the Juliana suit with its principal strategists, Julia Olson and Lou Helmuth of Our Children‘s Trust. Thomas Pogge briefly related the central argument of Juliana to two other approaches to climate justice: a broadly speaking Kantian ethical approach that requires agents to permit themselves only such conduct as they can will to be permitted to all other agents as well; and the legal approach taken by the Oslo Principles: globaljustice.macmillan.yale.edu/sites/default/files/file...

I watched some of the Live 8 concerts via the free web video feeds. I wish I was there, or better yet, in Edinborough, preparing to cover the G8 meetings and demonstrations. (Perhaps someday this photography bit will mature and take over my other journalistic endeavors and facilitate that more readily, eh?)
