I like how Americans are treated like some special class. As if the US hasn’t had collateral damage in their attacks that harm citizens of other countries. The US just uses it as a very weak reason to get more involved…

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.

Maybe don't go on vacation in an 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.
