https://edition.cnn.com/2025/07/12/middleeast/american-killed-israeli-settlers-west-bank-intl Israeli settlers killed a 20-year-old Palestinian-American man in the West Bank, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health and an eyewitness, as settler violence against Palestinians ramps up in the occupied territory. Twenty-year-old Sayfollah Musallet was martyred after being severely beaten all over his body by settlers in the town of Sinjil, north of Ramallah, the health ministry said in a statement on Friday. The municipality of Sinjel said that Musallet died following a barbaric attack carried out by settlers as part of daily assaults on local residents. It alleged Israeli forces stormed the area at the same time as the settlers attack, obstructing the work of paramedics and volunteers. A friend of the deceased mans family told CNN he was with Musallet and took him to a hospital in Ramallah, adding the young man was an American citizen born in Tampa, Florida. Israels military said it was aware of reports regarding a Palestinian civilian killed and a number of injured Palestinians as a result of the confrontation, and they are being looked into by the ISA [Israeli Security Agency] and Israel Police. Musallets family is demanding the US State Department lead an investigation into the incident. We are devastated that our beloved Sayfollah Musallet (nicknamed Saif) was brutally beaten to death by Israeli settlers while he was protecting his familys land from settlers who were attempting to steal it, the family said in a statement. We demand justice. The US State Department said in a statement to CNN that it is aware of reports of the death of an American in the West Bank, without providing a name. Out of respect for the privacy of the family and loved ones during this difficult time, we have no further comment, a department spokesperson said. Musallet ran a business in Tampa and had been in the West Bank since June 4 to visit family and friends, the family statement said. A second Palestinian man died in the attack in Sinjel after he was shot in the chest by settlers, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said. Ten others were wounded in the same attack, it added. Following the attacks, the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs criticised what it called Israels expanding settlement projects in the occupied territory and called for urgent action to hold the perpetrators of settler violence accountable. Israel has recently ramped up military operations in the West Bank, displacing tens of thousands of Palestinians and razing entire communities as it targets what it says are militants operating in the territory. Multiple American citizens have been killed in the West Bank in the past few years, according to Palestinian officials and eyewitnesses, including a 14-year-old boy whom the Israeli military shot dead last April in what they described as a counterterrorism operation. Israeli soldiers also shot dead a 26-year-old woman during a protest against an Israeli settlement in September 2024. Heartbreaking. What a terrible way for an innocent to die. --- WHO AM I?FFTHEWINNER. WHO ARE YOU?URTHELOSER http://i.imgur.com/xgSex.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

He's Palestinian, I've heard plenty of Israelis say they're all terrorists so of course that'll be what Isreal claims.Actually, According to the agreement that Israel signed with America 2 years ago to allow Israelis to travel visa-free to America, Any double-nationality American in Israel or the occupied lands is to be treated as American solely with his other nationality ignored and to be given the same rights as any other American with no discrimination of any kind. The agreement even specified Palestinian-Americans, Syrian-Americans and Lebanese-Americans as examples. And Israel did implement it back then. I remember articles quoting Palestinian-Americans talking about how they are treated much differently after the agreement. Of course, that was before October 7th, and Israel has broken a ton of agreements... --- WHO AM I?FFTHEWINNER. WHO ARE YOU?URTHELOSER http://i.imgur.com/xgSex.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

I actually knew him; not very well, but I know his family. I saw this story on the local news and immediately thought 'oh no, that's not Saif, is it?!" Rest in peace. One small consolation is that this is making national news. However, I was already plenty worried that the family would get targeted by the Trump regime before this happened; it's practically a foregone conclusion now that the family is (rightfully) demanding action from our government. --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. ...

LightSnake posted... https://x.com/GozukaraFurkan/status/1944141237373575331I have always respected Olmert. He was the last Israeli prime minister to offer a serious deal for a Palestinian State, and his offer was actually much better than Camp David's.I believe if Arafat was still alive a deal would have most likely been made back then. Unfortunately, Arafat had passed away and a useless piece of crap called abo mazen took his place, and he didn't capitalize on the chance at all. --- WHO AM I?FFTHEWINNER.
