In the aftermath of Mohammad’s death, his 15 year old cousin Tariq Khdeir (who’s an American citizen), was beaten to the point where his face got disfigured by Israeli officers and arrested during a protest without notifying the US authority.
Despite the fact that a video of those officers beating Tariq bloody was literally shown on American TV, all of the Israeli officers who beat/tortured him were spared from serving just 7 months of jail time by the state prosecutor because they “showed expression of remorse” and instead they were sentenced to 45 days of community service (and this was after the video went viral, before that they didn’t face any legal consequences for their actions)
Let me say that again: They beat/tortured and arrested an American a 15 year old minor without any uproar or repercussion whatsoever from the US, in fact since then the US has continued to send Israel their yearly allowance of 3.8 billions dollars from American’s tax money in aid for free (at least a minimum of 28 billions since 2014).
If you’re an American citizen this is where your country send your tax money to, for an occupation that will gladly do to your children what they have done to Tariq without any consequences whatsoever from your country.
Video airing on ABC (hard to watch): X
But isn’t there anything we can do to stop this? This is our tax money, now that we know what’s happening to it there must be something we can do to change what’s going on.
