"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.

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!
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.

I'm not. I'm also not cynically using it to whatabout in favor of a genocidal apartheid state like you're doing.

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.

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.
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 *
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.
