Say her name: Eman Shanti, Palestinian journalist, killed today in Gaza with husband Helmi & children Alma, Omar, & Bilal. She is among nearly 200 journalists killed by US-backed-Israel. Her final written words were “Is it possible that we’re still alive until now…may God have mercy on the martyrs”
