America - the country that cares when its people are killed in other countries - except when the killing's done by israel.

America never cares when its people are killed in other countries except when it's useful to its politics. Read about sinking of Athenia - even fucking Goebbels of all people believed US propaganda entirely. And also of course about USS Liberty incident.

Journalists can now stop asking questions about the investigation of Hind Rajab. They can demand new weekly questions about how Israel is investigating this for the coming 6 months.

Perhaps there was an American journalist witness of this shooting They should ask Shireen Abu Akleh.
