[quote=Anonymous]IDF allows illegal jew settlers to invade Palestinian community. IDF shoots 3 Palestinians for no valid reason, including 1 American, and allows illegal jew settlers to beat on that American's body lying on the ground. The illegal jew settlers steal all the livestock and are allowed to leave by the IDF.

So many war crimes and crimes against humanity during this incident.

Pennsylvania’s Governor Josh Shapiro and Senator John Fetterman say nothing. MIGA!!

[b]Nasrallah Abu Siyam [a US Citizen] was just trying to save his neighbors’ goats[/b]. He was 19 years old, and he was living in the small village of Mukhmas in the occupied West Bank, northeast of Jerusalem. On February 18, the first day of Ramadan, Israeli settlers stormed into the town wearing masks and carrying assault rifles. Among them were several IDF soldiers. The settlers tried to steal the Palestinian community’s small herd of goats and sheep, its main economic lifeline; the people of Mukhmas objected, and were met with “tear gas and stun grenades.” Some of the settlers threw rocks; some of the villagers threw rocks back. Then, as the BBC reports, the Israelis opened fire, shooting “at least three of the villagers, including Abu Siyam, who was struck fatally.”

[b]“Nasrallah was shot in the thigh, the bullet severing his main artery. Settlers crowded around him after he fell, striking him with rods.”[/b] As the raiders left with the animals, an ambulance was called, but it was delayed by IDF checkpoints. When it finally arrived, “Nasrallah was bleeding heavily in the back seat, his pulse fading.” He lost so much blood that doctors couldn’t save him, and he died that night.

[b][As] an American, he also had elected officials sworn to represent him: Pennsylvania’s Governor Josh Shapiro and Senator John Fetterman. He was their constituent, gunned down by foreign criminals. But Pennsylvania’s top elected leaders still can’t be bothered to say a word about it. [/b]

Other U.S. leaders have condemned Siyam’s murder. In a statement on February 23, Representative Rashida Tlaib called for “Justice for Nasrallah Abu Siyam,” saying that “the Israeli apartheid regime and its settler gangs have murdered yet another U.S. citizen in the West Bank, and our government does absolutely nothing.” She’s right about that: Siyam is actually the sixth Palestinian American murdered in the West Bank in the last two years, either by settlers or the IDF itself, and it hasn’t resulted in any serious action being taken against the settler movement.

In a TV appearance on MSNOW, Representative Brendan Boyle of Philadelphia has also called for an “honest and open investigation” into his constituent’s killing, saying that “our own government needs to have the backs of its own citizens, regardless of where the killing takes place.” Representative Ro Khanna, too, is reportedly “outraged.”

Not so, apparently, for Shapiro and Fetterman. At the time of writing, if you scroll through Governor Shapiro’s press releases, you’ll find no mention of Nasrallah Abu Siyam, although Shapiro has announced an update to railway safety regulations and flags at half-staff for the death of Jesse Jackson. Likewise, you’ll search in vain for anything on Shapiro’s Twitter page about the killing, though he has tweeted about Olympic hockey and the trend of kids using AI friend simulators. It’s the same with Fetterman: nothing in his official press releases, and nothing on his social media, though he has time to go on Fox News and condemn Hasan Piker.
