An American was just shot in the West Bank. The American press can't be bothered.
Didn't get killed, and didn't have to be there.
Like if you choose to go to a warzone, don't be surprised when you get some war.
That's a weird take. It sounds like you're implying the fact that she got shot was her fault. Which is victim blaming, the same argument as "if she didn't want to get raped, she shouldn't have worn such a short skirt."
What about the 250+ aid workers that Israel has murdered? They don't have to be there either; is it their fault they got killed, too? What about the 160+ Palestinian journalists who've been killed? Also their fault?
The 15,000+ children killed by Israel? Which is, by itself, more than ten times the total number of Israelis killed in the Feb 17th terrorist attack; it's their fault for being there?
Just wondering where you draw the line.
I think your heart is in the right place, but this is a false equivalence.
Where are you taking the info that she was surprised? She was not a tourist, she was there as part of a demonstration with an activist organization she's a part of. Getting shot was likely something she considered likely.
