Germany, France and Spain also have killed and kidnapped citizens. Their newspapers are reporting similar stories on their citizens, which is the reason the EU froze all the humanitarian aid to Palestine.

And those numbers will go up. All those hostages are not Israeli

Like the WTC this is truly an international incident.

You may wish to rephrase that…

It’s technically true either way, but yeah that doesn’t read well and definitely wasn’t the intent.

I agree, it is technically true. Sorry if I sounded too nitpicking, I’ve just come back from a week with no internet access /news so for a moment I thought you were talking about all of them doing it during the events of the last few days!

Except the EU backtracked. It’s like everyone on here is salivating at the thought of more dead Palestinians, as if they haven’t suffered enough under apartheid.

If the vacation is taxed then isn’t the vacationer effectively funding the apartheid state?

Really, victim blaming?

Get out of here with that low quality crap.

What’s low quality is using misapplied therapy speak to try to shut down a conversation.

It’s not victim blaming. It’s a fucking war zone. There are US citizens in Palestine right now stealing Palestinian houses. How are the Palestinians supposed to know who’s who? Stay the fuck out of the active war zone if you don’t belong there. It’s not like the Palestinians who don’t have a choice, people on vacation 100% had a choice.

“ViCTiM bLAmINg”. The victims are the Palestinians. Get the fuck outa here.
