    I can’t imagine the pain and bottomless hatred I’d have if my son was killed in a war, but the name thing keeps me from wanting him to travel anywhere that might be a war zone.

    Well, anymore than random places in the US already is…

      West Bank isn’t even a war zone. This appears to have been just a regular incident of a settler deciding to murder a Palestinian and the IDF helping out.

    Surely the Biden administration will take issue to the senseless murder of an American citizen, right?

    Edit: I guess they didn’t even take that much issue to India assassination a US national on US soil (or a Canadian national on Canadian soil). Hmm.
