CNN reports: An American died in the West Bank on Saturday, the US State Department confirmed Monday, the second death in less than a month of a US citizen in the occupied Palestinian territory.
“We can confirm the death of a U.S. citizen civilian in the West Bank on February 10, 2024,” a State Department spokesperson told CNN, adding that department officials “are working to gather more information and have pressed the Government of Israel for further information.”
“We extend our deepest condolences to the family,” the spokesperson said. “Out of respect to the family, we have nothing further to share.”
Last month, another American, 17-year-old Tawfiq Hafiz Ajjaq, was fatally shot in the head, according to Palestinian news agency WAFA. Israel’s police have opened an investigation into the incident, the IDF and Israeli police told CNN last month.
Defense for Children International – Palestine adds: Mohammad Ahmed Mohammad Khdour, 17, was shot in the head by Israeli forces around 4:30 p.m. on February 10 west of the Palestinian town of Biddu, northwest of Jerusalem in the central occupied West Bank, according to documentation collected by Defense for Children International – Palestine.
I would rather die than vote for this.
So which candidate do you plan to vote for who will NOT be supporting Israel? Obviously not Trump, since he’s already shown that not only will he support anyone who throws money or favors at him, but he has also been willing to stand behind terrorist countries and defend them. I guess that means you’ll be voting third-party then? Not that you’ll find any of those candidates able to stand against Israel either…
The Green Party’s platform doesn’t support Israel’s violence
But would their candidates be allowed to push back if by some miracle they were to be elected? Even with a full presidential order sanctioning support of a foreign nation, there are still two other branches of government deeply in their pocket who would try to prevent this.
There’s Cornell West and the Greens. Or there’s staying home.
Magically, either of those choices is the same. “I am perfectly and equally happy with either of the two serious candidates”. We’ll thank you for your support when our candidate wins.
Don’t vote, then politicians will ignore you as a non-factor and you will deserve it.
Vote for an irrelevant third party, then politicians that matter will ignore you as a non-factor and you will deserve it.
Vote for politician that has a chance of winning, do it consistently, then politicians will pay attention to you and you will deserve it.
Don’t just vote, but show up at town halls and contact your politicians, politicians will pay more attention to you and you will deserve it.
This is how old conservative people have been controlling this country far past their welcome. They show up. It’s no secret. Gen Z has been pretty good about turnout compared to previous young generations, so that’s encouraging.
It would be nice if more older people would simply look at the facts. Don’t vote for the same party just because that’s what you’ve always done. The beliefs of the Republican party from 50 years ago are pretty in line with the beliefs of today’s Democratic party because things have shifted so much. My area is very heavily Democratic so my individual vote doesn’t really matter that much, but I still show up for every election because the overall number of voters still matter to the political algorithms. I find it rather telling that the GOP party (and especially Trump) is having an absolute conniption over Taylor Swift encouraging people to get out and vote, one might think they have realized that the only way they can win an election is by actively preventing people from voting and through educational deform to keep them stupid.
It’s still Her turn.
So if they’re US citizens, they could’ve left? But their family chose to stay there with their children?
But the State Department isn’t saying anything, and the propaganda sources aren’t going into those details.
I guess they didnt get the memo to gtfo?
