Western media has been sharply criticized on social media for "silently" speaking out against a Palestinian-American journalist who was shot dead by Israeli forces.
Social media users and media experts said Western media reported the incident vaguely and did not mention Israeli forces.
Al Jazeera journalist Shirin Abu Aqila was shot dead and shot in the head by Israeli forces in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Shireen Abu Akleh was shot and killed by an Israeli sniper while reporting on an Israeli military raid of a refugee camp.

According to experts, instead of talking about the brilliant career of the female journalist, the Western media criminally ignored the role of Israeli forces in the assassination, while eyewitnesses said that Shirin Abu Aqila was shot in the head.
The political director of the liberal Israeli organization Jewish Voice for Peace criticized the New York Times, saying that Sherry Abu Aqila had made headlines for her death but "did not give a reason for her death." .@AP reporting that the iconic Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Aqleh “was killed by gunfire” is unethical journalism. She “was [not] killed” by aliens, she was killed by Israeli forces. There should be repercussions for propagating ‘alternative facts’ about basic truths. https://t.co/7tZ6QtwrJw
In addition, the reporting of the Associated Press (AP) was sharply criticized. A Twitter user said that the American news agency AP headlined the assassination of Sherry Abu Aqila in such a way that "journalists were killed in the clash" while everyone knows that he was shot in the head by Israeli forces.
