Israel killed her 21 years ago.
All part of Israeli policy of bulldozing the homes of people who dare resist them.

Do you know how many Americans the US government kills in the US? Why would they give a shit about one more far away?
Lol.
I think people forget that cops are part of the government and they definitely kill innocent people.
As the Zionist elite are the real owners of America, I think nothing will happen.
Just say Jews. You mean Jews.
Globalists, Zionist elite, international cabal…just say Jews.
Your dog whistles are heard loud and clear on the internet these days.
We really need to Make Nazis Afraid Again
You’re the anti-semite here, you’re the one mixing up Jews with a genocidal terrorist group.
Not all Jews are Zionists as not all Zionists are Jews, there are plenty of christian nationalists who are Zionists.
Anti-zionism isn’t the same as anti-Semitism.
Americans are upset, just politicians are afraid to lose their annual bribes if they talk outside of church.
The other side gives bribes too. The only difference is that Israel has a stronger lobby and a bigger pot to finance their payoffs.
This will never end until we get the money out of politics.
Wait, what’s the other side that pays folks to free Palestine? Honest question, because if they exist, they sure are doing a shit job.
Um, this clearly falls under the US policy regarding its citizens vis a vis ‘play stupid games, win stupid prizes’.
That policy doesn’t seem to apply to people living in Russia, or even travelling to North Korea.
Really? Americans have gone to Russia or NK to protest in front of their soldiers and didn’t win a stupid prize?
Would you be saying the same thing if the insurrectionists were mowed down by the national guard on Jan 6?
Ashli Babbitt got what she had coming. Play stupid games win stupid prizes, right?
Or is that different somehow because she was a righty?
You idiots are going to have to FAFO the hard way. Go ahead and try again when Trump loses, we have a president that will deploy the national guard and open fire on you terrorists
🤨
Like going to a concert near the border of Gaza and presidents ignoring intel briefings. Stupid games, stupid prizes.
Or living in a country where you’re clearly not wanted.
Does that include Israeli Americans? Because I don’t think it does.
If by respond you mean send even more bombs and weapons, then yes.
Maybe stay the fuck out of the West Bank?
What? Are you saying non-combatants are in danger from Israeli attacks?
* shocked Pikachu *
During the BLM protests, whenever a piece of shit would drive through a group of protesters, white nationalists would all be like “stay out of the street and you won’t get hit lol.”
This happened even when the protesters were crossing with the light at a crosswalk.
You remind me of them.
Yeah definitely the same thing.
Your reaction is certainly reminiscent.
Why?
Because there’s a war going on?
that’s not a very helpful suggestion considering that a good number of people are there specifically because there is a war going on.
You know theres no Hamas in the west bank right? If theres any kind of ‘war’ going on in the west bank its the IDF vs civilians, but hey that’s a tale as old as time isn’t it?
Oh fuck yeah. They’ve killed TWO of ours now!? We’ll suck their dick harder!
If the US stopped taking sides in this ass conflict, maybe the corrupt fuckers running the war from both sides would have a harder time profiting from it and knock it the fuck off.
both sides
Those greedy Palestinians, getting genocided like that. Can you believe them?
They responded to this in the past: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/traveladvisories/israel-west-bank-and-gaza-travel-advisory.html
This kind of thing is entirely predictable and US citizens have been warned by the State Department about there being an active conflict happening in the area.
So a US citizen died while ignoring a travel advisory from the US government. US citizenship doesn’t make someone invincible, and it doesn’t mean the US military is going to avenge your death (or whatever fantasy you can come up with) if you’re deliberately ignoring the warnings about an area of the world being dangerous. The obligation of protecting citizens was fulfilled by issuing the warning.
There is no legal obligation to protect citizens. Is there an ethical obligation? Kind of no, for reasons you listed, but kind of yes, because the cause of death was predictable and it’s something in the US has partial control over.
From a practical standpoint, we all agree that the US won’t do anything, because they certainly aren’t worried about pacifists in war zones where one of the sides is getting its weapons from the United States.
Although there are a bunch of ways the US can apply pressure. I think people overestimate the power ceasing weapon sales would have. While I believe it is the ethically right thing to do. It wouldn’t really hinder Israel’s ability to wage this war. It is allowing them to maintain their very vast stockpiles. But they could probably go years without even getting low, much less running out, without external weapons.
Yeah a country has an ethical obligation to protect it’s citizens. Which is why countries issue travel advisories. If you ignore the warnings your country is giving you, that ethical obligation doesn’t apply because it was already fulfilled by the warning.
“Don’t go over there, it’s dangerous!”
“Screw you, I’m not listening to you!”
Problem happens.
“Why did you allow this dangerous thing to happen???”
The U.S. has responded. That IS the problem.
Respond with more money
I wonder Ozma, what would you have the US do?
(This is for OP, others need not reply)
Enough is enough. Stop all US aid to Israel, stop enabling the genocide. Immediately.
Yσɠƚԋσʂ, didn’t think I’d see you outside .ml.
I’m confused, why do you think “stop providing aid to assist in genocide” is the take of a tanky?
It’s commonly known it’s his alt, is that your confusion?
