US Citizen Executed by Israeli Settlers as Israel Aims to Further Control the West Bank

Wait 5 sec.

Nasrallah Abu Siyam, a 19-year-old Palestinian-American man, was executed by illegal Israeli settlers in the West Bank on Wednesday.  Abu Siyam was among about 30 residents of Mukhmas who were trying to stop armed illegal settlers from stealing their goats.  Israeli settlers shot at least three of the villagers, including Abu Siyam.The US State Department said it was aware of the death of a US citizen and was “carefully monitoring the situation”.  Secretary of State Marco Rubio will not do anything about the murder of Abu Siyam because he supports whatever Israel decides to do to the Palestinians.Israel fails to prosecute illegal settlers for attacking Palestinians because Israel wants make life as difficult as possible for the Palestinians.  Israel also wants to expel the Palestinians from the West Bank to make way for more illegal settlements on stolen land.  Last week, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who called for a pogrom in the West Bank village of Huwara in 2023, called for the “migration” of Palestinians from the West Bank.Additionally last week, The Times of Israel reported that Israel, “enabled the registration of broad swaths of land in the West Bank as state land available for Israeli development.”  In conclusion, this would facilitate Israel’s ability to develop more illegal settlements on stolen land.The post US Citizen Executed by Israeli Settlers as Israel Aims to Further Control the West Bank appeared first on LewRockwell.
