Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank have beaten to death a United States citizen in his early 20s, the victim’s family members and rights groups have said.

“We are aware of reports of the death of a US citizen in the West Bank,” Reuters reported a State Department spokesperson as saying. The official declined to comment further “out of respect for the privacy of the family and loved ones” of the reported victim.

    it was a riot so a messy thing to investigate

    You have any evidence for that beyond the IDF saying it was?

    I’ll check back in two weeks and confirm that nothing comes of it, we can play this game for years, and I’m confident nothing will ever come of it beyond a possible slap on the wrist to say “look we took action”.
