No comment from US embassy after woman shot dead while protesting against illegal settlements
Israeli troops have killed a US citizen during its mass assault on the West Bank, Palestinian news agency Wafa has reported. The victim, a woman, was shot while protesting against illegal Israeli settlements in the Palestinian territory, where occupation forces have been on a rampage.
Witnesses said that the victim was killed by bullets made by the US government that supports the genocidal government:
The US embassy has not commented so far. The US and UK have continued to arm and support Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and now the West Bank, even after UK and US citizens were murdered in Gaza during the triple strike on World Central Kitchen aid vehicles earlier this year. The UK did not even summon Israeli diplomats to Downing Street to answer for the killings – which were part of a six-fold attack on aid workers who had shared their coordinates with the Israeli military for supposed safety.
Israel has killed almost a thousand civilians in the West Bank in the last few onths and as many as 200,000 in Gaza since last October, mostly women and children. The settler colonial state has extended its Gaza assault into the West Bank, destroying roads and buildings and besieging hospitals, while western governments continue to provide political cover as well as military aid and support.

Apparently there is a “tsunami of anti-Semitism” rolling across Europe. Meanwhile tens of thousands of people are actually being killed – precisely none of whom are Jewish outside of ‘Israel’.
Curiously, Hamas “terrorists” have not targeted Jews outside of Israel, unlike Zionist terrorists in the 1940’s, who were quite happy to slot Brits outside of Palestine.
I wonder whether the Holocaust memorial and museum outside Parliament will mention the murdered left wingers, disabled and gypsies, or just Jews?
Dave, it’s only a specific holocaust memorial!
Israel is close to a civil war, between the Crook and his Genocidal Religious maniacs and those who want a Ceasefire and release of the hostages at any cost
Hamas have stated if Israel get close to any of the hostages from here on in, they will be executed
Effectively pouring petrol on the fire inside Israel
I’m waiting for the relative of a dead hostage to take matters into their own hands and kill Fatboy Bibi. As I’ve said before, Dead Nation Walking.
Sadly, this death won’t make a blind bit of difference. As an effectively occupied nation, the US will continue to prioritise Israel over its own citizens.
Israeli opinion polls tend to agree with you.wher is the poll master general these days?

A UN Peacekeeping force, made up of Yanks, Russians and Chinese could impose a Ceasefire and bring in Humanitarian aid
Begin reconstruction and start to resettle illegal settlers, leave that bit to the Yanks, then see how it plays out back home when they start to lose troops
Effectively save Israel from civil war and self destruction
