    I dunno, considering we didn’t do anything to Saudi Arabia after they killed 3000 of us in our own country I’ll guess not. (edit: fix word order)

    People’s lives are nothing compared to the profits made in wars. Israel is a a huge military partner, both provider and buyer.

    So, no. They’re never going to respond in any real way.

    I think the US should consider changing the slogan on their dollar to “Profits over People”

    But write it on latin so it sounds cool.

    Will the U.S. Ever Respond?

    I don’t know, why don’t we try asking Rachel Corrie.

    Oh wait, she’s been dead for over twenty years and the US still hasn’t made a stink about her being killed by Israeli occupiers who were literally in the process of stealing Palestinian land.

    Further, as others have pointed out, Aysenur Ezgi Eygi isn’t even as lucky as Rachel Corrie to have a white sounding name that US citizens might give a shit about. Meaning it’s even more likely that Eygi’s story will get brushed under the rug and forgotten.

    Here is the question that I’ll pose for debate:

    Is a US citizen protected by the US armed forces if they chose to enter an active warzone as a non-combatant without the consent of the US government?

    Please explain your answer.
