You guys are just 2047 dead American protesters away from getting a strongly worded letter, so you better stop it…or else…oh, by the way, since you used bullets to kill that American, we will send you some more. Wouldn’t want you guys running out.
First western headline that doesn’t mince
Well, it still uses “fatally shot” instead of “killed”. And there is evidently no reason to do so, since they use “killed” in the article enough.
Even still. Most are like, ‘Woman (allegedly American) no longer alive due to visiting West Bank, claim some’.
Most headlines don’t even say who killed her.
CNN: American activist shot dead by Israeli forces at West Bank protest, eyewitnesses say
Reuters: Israeli troops shoot Turkish-American woman dead at West Bank protest, officials say
BBC: US-Turkish protester killed in West Bank as Israeli forces opened fire
PBS: Israeli soldiers shoot and kill an American woman during a West Bank protest, witness says
I could keep going but I’m sure you get the point by now.
Tbf, that BBC one is garbage that makes it sound like the IDF shooting was concurrent with but not necessarily the cause of her death.
Well, the BBC headline avoids saying it was the Israelis killing her, they just say that the killing and the shots happened concurrently, but it fails to establish cause-effect.
Some people are desperate to paint themselves as victims of the media.
“They did their job correctly this time” doesn’t erase a lifetime of them failing to do so. For every professional example like this I see many more that do the opposite.
The White House said it was “deeply disturbed” by the killing of a U.S. citizen and called on Israel to investigate what happened.
FUCK that! 🤬
The leadership of both parties treat the fascist apartheid regime committing genocide exactly as they treat murderous cops 🤬
In the EXTREMELY unlikely event that the Israeli court system correctly concludes that an IDF soldier murdered this woman, they’re just going to give them a fine and send them back out to murder some more!

We want the US or some neutral party to investigate.
Do you see a problem with police investigating police misconduct as a problem?
Same idea here.
Alright, US should just nuke them and launch full scale assault?
Holy false dichotomy, Batman! That’s one of the stupidest ones I’ve heard yet! 🤦
The fuck do you want
An INDEPENDENT investigation and for the US to stop supplying the weapons used to commit genocide and other atrocities with would be a good start.
This is non statement because they lack facts.
Says the one pretending that it’s a choice of either doing nothing or nuke and invade 🙄
Quit being so blood hungry
I’m being the OPPOSITE of blood hungry ffs! I want someone to STOP Israel from murdering with impunity!
This statement is the only one they could make.
The FUCK it was! Even with Saudi Arabia, they got angry and didn’t let the killers do their own investigation!
Maybe better if they mentioned launching their own investigation
Ya think? 🙄
which they likely are
Not likely at all, no. That’s part of the problem.
but you don’t announce you’re spying on someone…
Conducting a murder investigation isn’t spying ffs! Ever heard of international oversight?
Apparently not, since you’re pretending that it would be a crime to not let the IDF investigate themselves 🤦
Worry not! Biden will expedite a new weapon shipment to replace the bullets used by the brave Israeli soldiers protecting their great nation from that evil Hamas-loving antisemite!
Why is it never “murder” when cops and soldiers kill people?
When? Right now.
A Turkish-American woman. This is gonna piss off Erdogan.
The guy who assaults Turkish-Americans whilst in America?
I don’t think he’ll care unless he can benefit from it.
He’s been sabre-rattling with Israel for months now.
Didn’t Biden promise to retaliate for any American killed overseas? Oh, except when Israel does it.
