Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Israeli Court Orders Investigation Into Brian Avery Shooting

HeadlineMar 01, 2005

In Israel, the country’s supreme court has ordered the Israeli military to reopen its investigation into the shooting of U.S. peace activist Brian Avery. Avery was shot in the West Bank town of Jenin nearly two years ago. The shooting shattered his jaw and his nose forcing him to undergo a series of facial reconstruction surgeries. Witnesses said an Israeli Armored Personnel Carrier opened fire on Avery but Israel has denied being behind the shooting. Avery returned to Israel last week for the first time since the shooting to attend the Supreme Court proceeding.
