About this episode

Last May, Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was killed by Israeli forces.

The Take looks into the push for justice in the US and why it has been so difficult to achieve.

  • Lina Abu Akleh (@LinaAbuAkleh), niece of Shireen Abu Akleh
  • Katherine Gallagher (@katherga1), Human Rights Attorney, Center for Constitutional Rights (@theCCR)
  • Said Arikat (@SMArikat), journalist
