What we should be giving a fuck about is the violent theft of land that legally belongs to the Palestinian inhabitants and is internationally recognized as designated for a Palestinian homeland. The fact that this unarmed American was shot from behind is just an example of the IDF’s cowardly tactics.
Why, they’re so trigger-happy they could easily get a job as police in the US!
So you didn’t really read the article, just (at most) skimmed for a couple of sentences that went along with your preconceived notion. Remember, most headlines are written by someone other than the author. The headline writer, in addition to just seeking clicks in general, is trying to get Americans to read it. The writer was more focused on the core issues. They brought in the story of one of the protesters to make the point that if Israeli soldiers are that willing to shoot their allies the Americans in the back, they’ll positively enjoy the mass slaughter of Palestinians. I will agree with you that in some ways it’s not newsworthy, in the same way school shootings are no longer newsworthy in the US, because it’s all too common.
Your lede should be what you actually want to talk about. I don’t give a fuck that a stupid American put themself in harm’s way and then got harmed. This post is dead… start one that is actually the topic you wish to talk about.
Label it whatever you like… doesn’t change that you seem to be having difficulty understanding the fact that the American was a stupid-fuck and that they didn’t deserve what little press they got. You also don’t seem to understand that you’re making people less sympathetic to Gaza. The more performative bullshit like this that happens, the less people will care.

Sure, but that’s not the subject here. Try to stay on subject. Some dumb shit put themselves in harm’s way and then got harmed. Not news worthy…
