    People expect terrorists to shoot innocent people in the head. They don’t accept it when people claiming to fight terrorists shoot innocent people in the head.

      Ask a Palestinian in the West Bank if they think Hamas are terrorists or freedom fighters.

      “Terrorist” is a thought-terminating cliche.

      Both Israel and Hamas are religious extremists who exploit and murder innocent civilians. Neither one is worthy of our aid or our defense. Send aid to the poor people caught in the middle of this shit and stop sending weapons.

        The question isn’t why Palestinians aren’t reporting on Hamas killing someone, the question is why isn’t the West reporting on it.

        Hamas killing someone is expected behavior.

      BTW. What does this story have to do with US politics?

        The lack of a response is very much US Politics.

        Weapons. That’s the connection.

        The US sends vast arsenals to Israel and Israel uses those weapons for genocide and other war crimes.

          This woman was killed with small arms fire. The US does not supply such weapons or ammo to Isreal.

            If you look hard enough you can always find a nit to pick.

            When there are billions of dollars of heavy weapons pounding the entire area to dust, it’s completely disingenuous to talk about who paid for a particular bullet or gun.

            The entire operation is heavily subsidized by US military donations.

              A rational person would surmise that if the weapon wasn’t US supplied she would have been shot in any case and weapons supplied by the US has nothing to do with the fact this is not about US politics.

              But, the outrage machine doesn’t look at facts.

              They simply deal with hyperbolic nonsense, like your last sentance.

                A rational person would take the information in context. The shooter was not acting in isolation. The shooter was part of an organized military that is heavily subsidized by the US government.

                What’s hyperbolic about the last sentence? It’s an easily demonstrated fact that the US sends billions of dollars in military aid to Israel. It’s an easily verified fact that this is a large portion of Israel’s military budget.

                  The Israeli military is not subsidized by the US Government. Certain of their weapons are. This includes air frames, ordinance and assembly pieces. The rest of the military cost of other weapons, wages, training and maintenance is completely paid by the Israeli government. They can not spend the US Congress allocation on anything but US goods. Isreal builds it’s own small arms, tanks, rockets, etc. With their own money.

                  This article has nothing to US Politics.

                    This is just insane. No normal person would doubt that arms shipments are a military subsidy.

      You couch this story like you know what happened. You don’t
