“Well don’t stand in the genocide zone!”
Why start now?

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.
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.
Yeah definitely the same thing.
Your reaction is certainly reminiscent.
What? Are you saying non-combatants are in danger from Israeli attacks?
* shocked Pikachu *
Why?
Because there’s a war going on?
You know theres no Hamas in the west bank right? If theres any kind of ‘war’ going on in the west bank its the IDF vs civilians, but hey that’s a tale as old as time isn’t it?
that’s not a very helpful suggestion considering that a good number of people are there specifically because there is a war going on.
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
“Why don’t you ever talk about the deaths centrists aren’t happy about?!”
I would hope that if you are any kind of US citizen, you would not be happy about it either. There are forest and trees, but you only see one.
We only fund one of these warring terrorist groups. Do not see that difference?
Our taxes paid for the killing of a US citizen.
So the Intercept is triggering you with this death for a purpose of government funding, while ignoring the other? IDK which is worse and it is what I said originally. Shame these young people died, but in one case we know what happened, but in this case we don’t.
so you dont see the difference between us killing one of our own and someone else doing it?
Both are dead.
We didn’t kill anyone. We don’t know the facts, that’s why the US State Department is investigating.
US State Department is
investigatingwaiting for idf to investigate.It’s almost been a year of Israel indiscriminately killing in the area and the state department still refuses to do an investigation. Still waiting for Israel to investigate themselves.
But yeah sure. We’re totally gonna do something other than fund and supply weapons
So the Intercept is triggering you with this death
Just ignore it if it makes Netanyahu look bad!
Bibi is an asshole
Is that why you’re whatabouting for him?
We know exactly what happened, the US is just using delay tactics. Why are you upset that people are upset about the extrajudicial killing of an American Citizen by a foreign State. The IDF has killed so many American Citizens already, on top of you know, the genocide.
American-Turkish human rights activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, 26, succumbed to her wounds on Friday after being shot in the head by Israeli forces during a weekly protest against settlement expansions in the West Bank, according to Palestinian Authority-run news outlet Wafa.
Ever hear of Ashli Babbitt? You don’t know the circumstance , only the method.
Dude, what are you talking about. How are you comparing this situation to someone who actively took part in Jan 6th’s insurrection.
We have multiple eyewitness accounts about exactly what happened
I’m not. I’m also not cynically using it to whatabout in favor of a genocidal apartheid state like you’re doing.
All of a sudden by questioning the Intercept I’m supporting some state? That line of logic just doesn’t exist.
Then why whatabout?
I was making mention of publishing one story and ignoring another. The Intercept only wants to trigger you, and it looks like they were successful
You were whining that the intercept isn’t running articles you would prefer to see and instead running articles you don’t want anyone to ever know about.
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.
The question isn’t why Palestinians aren’t reporting on Hamas killing someone, the question is why isn’t the West reporting on it.
Hamas killing someone is expected behavior.
BTW. What does this story have to do with US politics?
The lack of a response is very much US Politics.
My first reaction to that is something about the output of male cows
See it’s shit like this that shows you aren’t ever arguing in good faith
Never mind what I was responding to then.
Weapons. That’s the connection.
The US sends vast arsenals to Israel and Israel uses those weapons for genocide and other war crimes.
This woman was killed with small arms fire. The US does not supply such weapons or ammo to Isreal.
If you look hard enough you can always find a nit to pick.
When there are billions of dollars of heavy weapons pounding the entire area to dust, it’s completely disingenuous to talk about who paid for a particular bullet or gun.
The entire operation is heavily subsidized by US military donations.
A rational person would surmise that if the weapon wasn’t US supplied she would have been shot in any case and weapons supplied by the US has nothing to do with the fact this is not about US politics.
But, the outrage machine doesn’t look at facts.
They simply deal with hyperbolic nonsense, like your last sentance.
A rational person would take the information in context. The shooter was not acting in isolation. The shooter was part of an organized military that is heavily subsidized by the US government.
What’s hyperbolic about the last sentence? It’s an easily demonstrated fact that the US sends billions of dollars in military aid to Israel. It’s an easily verified fact that this is a large portion of Israel’s military budget.
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.
Nope US life is expendable.
I wonder Ozma, what would you have the US do?
(This is for OP, others need not reply)
Enough is enough. Stop all US aid to Israel, stop enabling the genocide. Immediately.
Yσɠƚԋσʂ, didn’t think I’d see you outside .ml.
I’m confused, why do you think “stop providing aid to assist in genocide” is the take of a tanky?
It’s commonly known it’s his alt, is that your confusion?

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?
