The State Department confirmed that it has reached out to Israeli officials “for further information.”
Not the first time, nor the last, Israeli forces have murdered a US citizen without reprecussion. NO other country would be allowed to get away with this without even a fucking diplomatic objection except for fucking Israel.
Oh, we care now that it was a US citizen? What about all those women and children? Literally thousands of them killed.
The whole point of citizenship is that a government has exceptional obligations (and vice-versa) to those who hold citizenship. So yes, obviously a US citizen getting killed SHOULD be a bigger deal to the US than non-citizens, unless you want the US to literally be the world government.
The “discharge was directed towards a perceived threat,” described by the police statement as Palestinian individuals throwing rocks along a highway.
I have seen the aftermath of rocks being thrown on passing cars. If this 17-year-old did that, then he was not a civilian shot at random.
So your response to teenagers throwing rocks is to gun them all down?
