Israeli forces shoot US citizen in occupied West Bank
Bullet fired by an Israeli soldier ripped through the thigh of a US citizen protesting against Israeli settler encroachment
Israeli forces shot and injured an American citizen during a demonstration on Friday that was being held in Beita, a Palestinian village near the occupied West Bank town of Nablus, several Palestinian rights organisations have told Middle East Eye.
Amado Sison* was hit by a bullet that shot through the back of his right thigh and left a large exit wound. The bullet, however, missed all of Sison's major arteries and his bones but he has soft tissue damage from the attack, according to Vivi Chen, an activist with Defend Palestine:Faz3a. Chen was also the victim of an attack by Israeli settlers last month.
Sison was carried more than 500 metres as Israeli forces continued to attack the Palestinians gathered at the site of the demonstration.
After being shot, activists say that Sison's ambulance was forced to stop at several Israeli checkpoints, leading to a delay in his medical treatment. Eventually, he underwent a successful surgery and was seen smiling in his hospital room.
Holy shit that's a long way to travel to get shot with your own tax dollars
Should have gone to school instead.
Privately-funded bullets in publicly-funded schools? Now that's what I call capitalism!
I mean it's what they do. Remember a few years ago when they assassinated that us journalist?
I mean in the 60s they diliberately attacked a US Naval vessel killing almost 40 crew and I during 170 more. And the US just rolled over and did nothing about it other than help the Israelis cover it up.
good thing they didn't actually kill him or there might be consequences
Shireen Abu Akleh, a US citizen and veteran Palestinian journalist, was killed by Israeli snipers during a military raid on the city of Jenin in the West Bank.
Nope. That doesn't matter.
Upon her death on May 11, 2022, Israel denied responsibility and blamed Palestinian militants. However, it gradually changed its narrative until admitted she was likely "accidentally" killed by Israeli fire, but refused to undertake a criminal investigation.
The classic "Hamas did it, oh wait you have evidence, actually it was us, lol right".
So close to crossing the one line our government claims not to tolerate. Glad he lived, but shitty that we will continue to obstruct all attempts at justice by the international community.
Just so we are clear, that's not a line. US Citizens have been killed by the IDF.
No, the one line would be if the IDF attacks US Soil or soldiers.
That's NATO territory but whether the US NATO ambassador would have the stones to actually declare it an attack and activate article 4, that's another story.
Cute
Nah, it's an honor to be killed by the Chosen People
Any news yet on the 5 Americans being held by Hamas in Gaza?
And the US will make up some excuse to defend them
Your ANTISEMITIC if you DON'T like Shooting American Citizens!
He's lucky they didn't rape him with a stick.
All citizens are equal but some are more equal than others
At this point we could just use a randomizer for Israel and it would still fit today's news
Out with these shitty settlers out of the West Bank.
People in this thread acting like Israel getting leeway on actions is a US thing. In fact, “western nations” require regional destabilization in the Middle East. Look at what happens in Latin American countries or African ones. Regional destabilization in the ME is not a unique thing, and Israel is just serving its purpose at the expense of keeping its people safe. None of this stops till leaders, countries etc decide the whole regional destabilization philosophy is an old world relic which doesn’t serve the future.
