U.S. State Department Spokesperson, Matthew Miller regarding the killing of the American woman by Israel: "We are aware of the tragic death of an American citizen, today in the West Bank. We offer our deepest condolences to her family and loved ones. We are urgently gathering more information about the circumstances of her death, and will have more to say as we learn more. We have no higher priority than the safety and security of American citizens"
He did not even dare to condemn the murder [or to call it murder].
Israel murdered Jacob Flickenger, an American citizen who was attempting to deliver food to starving people in Gaza. Did Tony Blinken call him “an American hero?” No, he reserved that language for an American who went to fight for Israel’s occupation army
Aysenur Ezgi, an American of Turkish descent, has died after being shot in the head by Israeli soldiers in the town of Beita. Aysenur was shot in the head while participating in protests against settlement expansion. Will @JoeBiden convene a cabinet meeting for her?
If Israelis freely shoot their own soldiers, kill Israeli prisoners in Gaza, why would they hesitate to shoot an American in the head? That’s a sniper shot, by the way. That’s a shot taken when you know you can’t miss. The incident below was different—just another incident of Israeli soldiers shooting at anything moving without hesitation. White flags are meaningless.
Turkey is expressing far more anger about the alleged killing of a US-Turkish citizen by Israel than the US is. Turkey says “We condemn this murder committed by the Netanyahu government.” The US says “We are aware of the tragic death … We offer our deepest condolences”
Current US admin is a disgrace. State Dept wont even say IDF murdered her. That gives Israel further license to kill unarmed civilians, including American citizens.
Another red line crossed. Are there any left for Biden-Harris admin viz Israel?
