So you have a problem with someone actively trying to preserve Palestinian life and livelyhood, while you sit behind a keyboard and be much higher and mightier. Sorry we don’t suit your standards.
No, I have a problem with people being stupid and getting themselves hurt and then other people being stupid and thinking that the press should cover that. Get fucking real.
He was literally there as a protestor which he could have done from home and not been shot. Neither they nor you are helping the cause. I am sympathetic to the cause and this this stupid American is just a distraction from it.
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.
This is the kinda garbage redditor-tier comment I didn’t miss since coming to lemmy
Funny… this post is the kind of stupid shit that reminded me of Reddit and one of the reasons for coming over here.

What’s stupid about protesting Zionist occupation? I don’t think I even have to touch your comment history to figure out how you align.
Nothing wrong with protesting. Protesting in harm’s way is pretty fucking stupid, though. Hard to protest when you’re dead…
protests are famously a time people put themselves in harms way.
There are smart ways and stupid ways to do that… this particular case was stupid.
you should go back
Human rights workers and journalists go into conflict zones to document and protect civilians. It is a war crime to target them.
He was neither a human rights worker nor a journalist… he was just a stupid fucking American that got himself shot. Again, not news worthy.
He was a human rights worker.
He was literally there nonviolently observing and trying to prevent a war crime from taking place.

No, they couldn’t have done human rights work like documenting Israeli war crimes in the West Bank from home.
Quit mischaracterizing what he was doing. It makes both you and the movement look bad.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
The West Bank is not a war zone.
If you’re just going to lie then there is no reason to even talk to you.
Gaza is a war zone.
The West Bank is a different area entirely. They aren’t physically connected and Hamas has literally zero presence.
Do you even know anything about the region?
