    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.

          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 investigating waiting 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

              This has nothing to do with the finding of fact as to how this woman died

              In fact,it’s not true. First, let’s ignore the fact that this woman apparently from small arms fire which we don’t supply to the Israelis. Congress wrote a bill to supply other weapons to Isreal. to Isreal. It was unable to put restrictions on sale. That left it in Biden’s lap. Biden asked State to evaluate how the Israelis were using weapons as it pertains to standing US law. The result was that State could not find a legal reason not to supply.

              You can have your own feelings on the matter, but not your own facts

        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.

              In the case of Ashli Babbitt there were multiple eye witnesses as well who said there was no reason that she was shot. In fact she and those eye witnesses were warned to go no further or they would be shot.

                Ashli Babbitt and all the others on Jan 6th were trespassing, which the police officer responded to with deadly force. I still find that unjustified but that’s what happened.

                In this case, these were protesters, in a Palestinian town, protesting the ethnic cleansing of the town. IDF escalated by shooting people in the head.

                These are not the same

                Eygi had joined protesters demonstrating against the expansion of an illegal settlement outpost, Evyatar, which was built in 2013 atop Palestinian land in Jabal Sbeih, outside of Beita. Over the past several years, Palestinian residents from Beita, alongside international activists, have held regular protests at the outpost, who are often met with violent responses from the Israeli military.

                “We were standing on the road, about 200 meters from the soldiers, with a sniper clearly visible on the roof,” said the volunteer, who went by the pseudonym Mariam Dag. “Our fellow volunteer [Eygi] was standing a bit further back, near an olive tree with some other activists. Despite this, the army intentionally shot her in the head.”

                  Point is you still don’t know the circumstance of her death. You believe in those accompanying her, but you will not wait to hear from anyone else before expressing outrage.

                  Just the kind of reader the Intercept wants.

                    Not only do we know the circumstances, this kind of behavior of Israeli soldiers killing nonviolent protestors is frequent.
