S3 | E10 - Who Killed Shireen? The Documentary That Exposed Israel’s Crime and the U.S. Cover-Up

When Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was shot dead in Jenin in May 2022, Israel blamed “crossfire.”The Biden administration called it “tragic circumstances.”No names. No charges. No accountability.In this episode of Reel Talk, Daizy Gedeon speaks with veteran Wall Street Journal correspondent Dion Nissenbaum about the investigation behind the documentary “Who Killed Shireen?” — the film that did what governments claimed was impossible.Together, they unpack how a small team of journalists traced the killing to an Israeli sniper, uncovered a pattern of impunity, and exposed a wider war on journalists — from Gaza to Lebanon to the West Bank.This is not just about one journalist.It’s about press freedom, power, and accountability.🎧 Listen now.Timestamps:00:00 – Who Was Shireen Abu Akleh02:21 – From “Tragic Circumstances” to a Cover-Up06:18 – Meet Dion Nissenbaum13:37 – Why the Official Story Didn’t Add Up20:34 – Making Who Killed Shireen?27:13 – Naming the Shooter36:43 – Targeting Journalists41:33 – The U.S. Military Whistleblower01:13:19 – Why Gaza Still Matters🔔 Follow Reel Talk with Daizy Gedeon on Spotify so you don’t miss an episode.
