    It’s OK, the IDF says that they were engaged in 'rock throwing activities" and that’s why it’s OK they shot him in the head and chest, then delayed the ambulance by making everyone give up identification papers while he lay dying.

    Unless it impacts trade routes, the US gov will, unfortunately, not give a fuck.

      You may be right, but things have changed a lot in 3.5 months, and I hope there’s more change to come. The West was blindly supportive of Israel in October (and blindly intolerant of anyone who criticized Israel). Biden’s tone with Netanyahu has changed. I don’t know what’s to come, but I’m hoping for some justice. Let’s get it started in the International Court of Justice!

      For real if it was a Senator’s kid or a billionaire’s kid it would be a totally different story. My heart breaks for this man, I hope his murderers face justice.

      Our support is impacting trade routes since US ships are getting attacked in the Red Sea.

    Talk about a confusing title, there are like 20 different meanings if you don’t comprehend every single word together.

    I, for one, never doubt the veracity of any kind of news story like this. I don’t need to have ever visited the area to develop strong opinions by osmosis!
