After Israeli settlers killed 19-year-old United States citizen Nasrallah Abu Siyam in the occupied West Bank last week, the US Department orf State said it “has no higher priority than the safety and security of Americans”.
But, as the number of US citizens killed by Israel continues to mount, rights advocates say Washington’s failure to ensure accountability is driving a deadly cycle of impunity.
I don’t see how anyone who already isn’t appalled by the genocide, is going to start to care because an American with a “brown” sounding name is also killed.
I don’t care any more than I already do which is I think all of it, whatever care is I have all of it for Palestine or any other oppressed peoples.
I’m editing to add: I really hate that I used the term brown sounding name because it feels icky and racist but it’s what I’ve come to expect from my less kind countrymen.
