    Funny that just last week an American was shot in the head, executed by Hamas, and there wasn’t an Intercept article mentioning it. Maybe it’s just not fashionable to be outraged about it, and it wouldn’t get enough clicks.

      “Why don’t you ever talk about the deaths centrists aren’t happy about?!”

        I would hope that if you are any kind of US citizen, you would not be happy about it either. There are forest and trees, but you only see one.

          We only fund one of these warring terrorist groups. Do not see that difference?

          Our taxes paid for the killing of a US citizen.

            So the Intercept is triggering you with this death for a purpose of government funding, while ignoring the other? IDK which is worse and it is what I said originally. Shame these young people died, but in one case we know what happened, but in this case we don’t.

              so you dont see the difference between us killing one of our own and someone else doing it?

                Both are dead.

                We didn’t kill anyone. We don’t know the facts, that’s why the US State Department is investigating.

              We know exactly what happened, the US is just using delay tactics. Why are you upset that people are upset about the extrajudicial killing of an American Citizen by a foreign State. The IDF has killed so many American Citizens already, on top of you know, the genocide.

              American-Turkish human rights activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, 26, succumbed to her wounds on Friday after being shot in the head by Israeli forces during a weekly protest against settlement expansions in the West Bank, according to Palestinian Authority-run news outlet Wafa.

                    In the case of Ashli Babbitt there were multiple eye witnesses as well who said there was no reason that she was shot. In fact she and those eye witnesses were warned to go no further or they would be shot.

          I’m not. I’m also not cynically using it to whatabout in favor of a genocidal apartheid state like you’re doing.

            All of a sudden by questioning the Intercept I’m supporting some state? That line of logic just doesn’t exist.

                I was making mention of publishing one story and ignoring another. The Intercept only wants to trigger you, and it looks like they were successful

                  You were whining that the intercept isn’t running articles you would prefer to see and instead running articles you don’t want anyone to ever know about.

      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.
