I like how Americans are treated like some special class. As if the US hasn’t had collateral damage in their attacks that harm citizens of other countries. The US just uses it as a very weak reason to get more involved…
Germany, France and Spain also have killed and kidnapped citizens. Their newspapers are reporting similar stories on their citizens, which is the reason the EU froze all the humanitarian aid to Palestine.
And those numbers will go up. All those hostages are not Israeli
Like the WTC this is truly an international incident.
I’m still waiting for justice for Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh — the investigation of which currently rests in the hands of her perpetrators. It seems to me that recognizing American deaths only matters when it benefits US foreign policy.
So justice can be sought through slaughtering innocents? Bin Laden thought the same thing.
Let’s study the conflict before making such comments.
I am not aware of any conflict in US history where the US did not defend an American journalist dying performing their duty abroad. This is a war crime, and it sets precedent for Americans when they travel or work abroad anywhere in the world.
Hamas is not representative of all Palestinians. Hamas’ attack is a reaction to a 75 year history of tit-for-tat where “Israel” continuously breaks international law including murdering of civilians, the international community condemns them, and the big world powers like the US give them impunity. Like Russia to Ukraine, Israel is an occupying force of the Palestinians — the longest in modern history.
Comparison to Bid Laden is a false equivalence.
How many where killed by fellow Americans here on the same day? I have trouble being appalled at 9 dead there when so many dead here merit no action from our politicians.
You can be appalled at both at the same time.
i wonder how many of those 9 american were also having Israel citizenship.
Both US and Israel recognize dual citizenship.
Well ...the tables would turn if we put American kids in their schools.
