Israel killed her 21 years ago.
All part of Israeli policy of bulldozing the homes of people who dare resist them.

I will never forget Rachel Corrie.
Americans are upset, just politicians are afraid to lose their annual bribes if they talk outside of church.
The other side gives bribes too. The only difference is that Israel has a stronger lobby and a bigger pot to finance their payoffs.
This will never end until we get the money out of politics.
Wait, what's the other side that pays folks to free Palestine? Honest question, because if they exist, they sure are doing a shit job.
Will the US respond? Yes! By reimbursing the ammunition used
If by respond you mean send even more bombs and weapons, then yes.
Oh fuck yeah. They've killed TWO of ours now!? We'll suck their dick harder!
Just say Jews. You mean Jews.
Globalists, Zionist elite, international cabal....just say Jews.
Your dog whistles are heard loud and clear on the internet these days.
We really need to Make Nazis Afraid Again
You’re the anti-semite here, you’re the one mixing up Jews with a genocidal terrorist group.
There is a difference between "Jews" and "Zionists". Same as there's a difference between "Whites" and "White Supremacists".
Where it starts getting weird are the non-Jewish Zionists and the non-white white supremacists.
Funny that just last week an American was shot in the head, executed by Hamas, and there wasn't an Intercept article mentioning it. Maybe it's just not fashionable to be outraged about it, and it wouldn't get enough clicks.
Are you actually claiming there was no media coverage of the murdered hostages?
There is a very good argument that the role of non mainstream news sources, like the Intercept, it to shed light on the news that mainstream media doesn't raise.
If the CNN was blasting 24 hours the news about this American being shot, I'm pretty sure the Intercept would not bother either.
Just an observation on the nature of media and events. The Intercept is hardly mainstream. Instead of reporting facts it produces outrage purposed dribble, and this is a good example. In this case, those facts are not determined, and the US State Department is seeking them. That's the way CNN reported it anyway. Should this turn into an Ashli Babbitt situation, the Intercept will not report it and it will not be here because it won't suit the fashionable narrative.
On a side note, I wonder what this story has to do with US Politics. Although I do see a mod in the string who should be able to explain that, but probably won't
People expect terrorists to shoot innocent people in the head. They don't accept it when people claiming to fight terrorists shoot innocent people in the head.
You couch this story like you know what happened. You don't
Ask a Palestinian in the West Bank if they think Hamas are terrorists or freedom fighters.
"Terrorist" is a thought-terminating cliche.
Both Israel and Hamas are religious extremists who exploit and murder innocent civilians. Neither one is worthy of our aid or our defense. Send aid to the poor people caught in the middle of this shit and stop sending weapons.
BTW. What does this story have to do with US politics?
That's outrageous. We should immediately stop funding Hamas.
No more weapons packages.
No more military funding.
The Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group should stop supporting them now.
Maybe stay the fuck out of the West Bank?
During the BLM protests, whenever a piece of shit would drive through a group of protesters, white nationalists would all be like "stay out of the street and you won't get hit lol."
This happened even when the protesters were crossing with the light at a crosswalk.
You remind me of them.
What? Are you saying non-combatants are in danger from Israeli attacks?
shocked Pikachu
Nope US life is expendable.
If the US stopped taking sides in this ass conflict, maybe the corrupt fuckers running the war from both sides would have a harder time profiting from it and knock it the fuck off.
both sides
Those greedy Palestinians, getting genocided like that. Can you believe them?
"Well don't stand in the genocide zone!"
