Eyewitnesses Describe Brutal Killing of U.S. Citizen by Israeli Settlers in West Bank

[Uncle Joe]

We go to the occupied West Bank for an update on how the family of a 20-year-old Palestinian American from Florida, Sayfollah "Saif" Musallet, is demanding justice after he was beaten to death by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank. Musallet and another Palestinian, 23-year-old Mohammad al-Shalabi, were attacked by a group of Israeli settlers on Friday in the town of Sinjil, northeast of Ramallah, where their families own farmland. Eyewitnesses say the settlers brutally beat Musallet and fatally shot al-Shalabi, then prevented ambulances from reaching their victims for hours. Musallet was pronounced dead before he could reach a hospital.

1. IMO, it appears the "settlors" are emboldened, not only b/c of Netanyahu,

but because Israel has not been held accountable for the thousands of deaths of Palestinians in Gaza. They believe they're invincible and won't be stopped.

2. Not "settlers" but occupiers

Or, land thieves.

3. To be fair

He was a Palestinian American and we know that Palestinian Americans don't count for shit...whether it be the Republican party or even some people who belong to the other party!

I don't remember anyone offering Palestinian Americans free plane rides out of Israel, that was mainly reserved for the other people!

And many Palestinian Americans chose to remain there with their families...a sign of courage!
