As an American, Abdel Jabbar said, he would have expected the U.S. to seek justice for his son. But he says the Biden administration’s support of Israel, including with weapons, and what he sees as a tepid response from the White House to Tawfic’s death make him doubt that his government will act in his son’s interest
Yet ppl here will claim anyone who thinks of sitting out this next election are either stupid or selfish. There's and entire group of ppl in the US where the Biden administration actively helped murder their friends and family while turning their homeland into a parking lot.
I'm not telling anyone to actively sit out the election (Im voting for Biden and not happy about it) but I'd advise you to be a bit more open minded about ppls reasoning for not being happy with the Biden administration and sitting this one out.
Also this is what you get with a lesser of two evils election cycle every 4 years. A facist and a facist enabler
- Is this the same kid that went into a war zone and threw rocks at the military?
  Edit: From the article. Doesn't matter really if it's justified. Who throws rocks at military when shit like this is going on? That's asking for attention.
  Abdel Jabbar dismissed the suggestion his son might have been “hurling rocks” as a “lie.” But, he said, even if rocks were thrown in the area, “so what?”
  “If they were throwing rocks 150 meters to the street, what is it going to do to a tank? Or to a jeep? Or to a car full of soldiers? You’re gonna shoot the car 10 times because a guy threw a rock?” he said.
  
  The West Bank isn’t run by Hamas so why would it be a war zone? Also, throwing a rock, if it happened, means execution and not arrest?
- So what's the answer then? If we don't vote for Biden, we'll have genocide and war here at home, the U.S. will collapse, and even worse actors will kill millions.
At least the coverage is better than the NYTimes using the passive voice to claim he was killed by a bullet but not saying where the bullet came from in the headline
- New York Times is an absolute Zionist dumpster fire it's insane that that site is somehow still allowed here.
