When is it never “murder” when cops and soldiers kill people?
When? Right now.
The White House said it was “deeply disturbed” by the killing of a U.S. citizen and called on Israel to investigate what happened.
FUCK that! 🤬
The leadership of both parties treat the fascist apartheid regime committing genocide exactly as they treat murderous cops 🤬
In the EXTREMELY unlikely event that the Israeli court system correctly concludes that an IDF soldier murdered this woman, they’re just going to give them a fine and send them back out to murder some more!
A Turkish-American woman. This is gonna piss off Erdogan.
The guy who assaults Turkish-Americans whilst in America?
I don’t think he’ll care unless he can benefit from it.
He’s been sabre-rattling with Israel for months now.
Worry not! Biden will expedite a new weapon shipment to replace the bullets used by the brave Israeli soldiers protecting their great nation from that evil Hamas-loving antisemite!
First western headline that doesn’t mince
Well, it still uses “fatally shot” instead of “killed”. And there is evidently no reason to do so, since they use “killed” in the article enough.
Even still. Most are like, ‘Woman (allegedly American) no longer alive due to visiting West Bank, claim some’.
Most headlines don’t even say who killed her.
CNN: American activist shot dead by Israeli forces at West Bank protest, eyewitnesses say
Reuters: Israeli troops shoot Turkish-American woman dead at West Bank protest, officials say
BBC: US-Turkish protester killed in West Bank as Israeli forces opened fire
PBS: Israeli soldiers shoot and kill an American woman during a West Bank protest, witness says
I could keep going but I’m sure you get the point by now.
Some people are desperate to paint themselves as victims of the media.
Tbf, that BBC one is garbage that makes it sound like the IDF shooting was concurrent with but not necessarily the cause of her death.
Well, the BBC headline avoids saying it was the Israelis killing her, they just say that the killing and the shots happened concurrently, but it fails to establish cause-effect.
