“My son is an American before Palestinian,” his grieving father said as he grappled with the U.S. government’s role in the violence in Gaza and the West Bank. “Americans, us, our government backs it up.”
Was it playing with fate when he didn’t leave for the US when the war started? Obviously no civilians should have to fear for their lives, but it does seem like a bad call.
I don’t think he should have been killed, but if o was in a country that was part of a war zone and I could just go back home to another country, then it’s partially on me for staying.
Like if a US person was in Ukraine and died from a Russian bomb, well if the person didn’t have to be in a war zone then they shouldn’t have been there.

The West Bank isn’t even supposed to be at war…
