An American was just shot in the West Bank. The American press can't be bothered.
As global attention on the war in Gaza wanes, an intensifying ethnic cleansing campaign is ramping up in the West Bank.
TIL;Dr he was shot in the back of the leg and is expected to recover
Qaysiya, the Bethlehem resident under threat from settlers, said she fears that it is only a matter time before they are forced to give up property that they have held in their family for years. Even children have gotten involved.
“There are young settler kids also coming who are only around 12 years old with knives and guns,” Qaysiya said. “It is really something shameful that these settler organizations are using these kids, telling them they will be rewarded and taking advantage of them.”
Israel demonstrating who controls who.
An American put themselves into a known, violent war-zone and we're supposed to give a fuck that they got shot? Sounds like a Darwin award candidate.
They were protesting the removal of a family from their home in the West Bank.
I’ll be sure not to give a shit if you ever get dropped and present the award at your funeral though.
They put themselves in harm's way and then got harmed. Not news worthy.
What we should be giving a fuck about is the violent theft of land that legally belongs to the Palestinian inhabitants and is internationally recognized as designated for a Palestinian homeland. The fact that this unarmed American was shot from behind is just an example of the IDF's cowardly tactics.
Why, they're so trigger-happy they could easily get a job as police in the US!
