Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank have beaten to death a United States citizen in his early 20s, the victim’s family members and rights groups have said.

“We are aware of reports of the death of a US citizen in the West Bank,” Reuters reported a State Department spokesperson as saying. The official declined to comment further “out of respect for the privacy of the family and loved ones” of the reported victim.

    That’s it? “We’re aware”? We do a prisoner swap with Russia and release a notorious arms smuggler, just to get back a weed smuggling basketball player. But when our “good buddy” Israel literally murders one of our citizens, we’re just “aware”?

      The Canadian government is aware that a Canadian citizen died in ICE custody.

      What are we supposed to do?

      Launch an invasion to free our people from the terrorist American regime?

        “launch an invasion”

        You always jump to extremes when making decisions?

        Here’s the official statement from the US government: they are actively investigating it: https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/canadian-national-ice-custody-passes-away

        And the embassador tweeted: My team is following the death of a Canadian citizen while in @ICEgov custody. We will keep the Canadian government informed as ICE completes its investigation. I trust in ICE’s commitment to transparency and to providing a safe environment for all individuals in its care.

        Do you find as Israeli government page saying we’re investigating it? Not they I think ICE or Israel would investigate themselves properly, but at least they still put up the facade that diplomacy matters.

        Did US media create a touching profile for the victim?

        The US is funding and backing a genocide of Palestinians by Israel, and Israeli settlers murdering Palestinians is perfectly acceptable and happens every day. You’d think it would be different if it’s a US citizen, but it’s not, if you are killed by Israelis as a Palestinian or as a citizen of the US or its allies standing up for Palestinians, they treat you with the same contempt.

          The world needs to move away from the petrodollar as one. Watch their psycho terrorist nation crumble, they’ve got nothing. Even their military fucking sucks, look at Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq. They can’t even win wars against nations of rice farmers and goat herders, they need a fucking beatdown, and they’re down and weak.

          Fucking invade and break it up. They have gone off the fucking rails, they’re not of sound mind, they need someone to come in and just force them into democracy. They won’t do it themselves. They’re just rabid dogs anyway.

    When are you going to get the circumsized cock out of your asses, you religious dumbfucks? We’re told what a bad bad bad country Russia is, in the meantime they’re a lightweight in comparison to Israel in terms of unbridled savagery, and you not only are “aware” of it, you fund it and supply materiel.

        The united snakes is the worst offender against democracy and peace on the planet. It hold the crown for the most number of regime changes responsible for, it is the reason why israel can maintain occupation for this long.

        Russia is terrible but not try to do a final solution like israel does. Russia consider ukranian as russian which is dumb but mean it does not try to get rid of all ukrsnians by pushing thrm to other countries and mads scale civilians execution
