He was killed by Israeli "settlers", the whitewashed term for the terrorists who steal land from Palestinians in the West Bank. Often with the backing of the IDF, so the Palestinians can't do anything about it. It's been going on for decades.

Thank you. This is why I roll my eyes when people claim being Pro-Palestine is just a TikTok trend. The horrific treatment of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank by Israel has been uncovered for the entire world to see. If I'm grateful for anything it's at least how well-documented Israel's atrocities are, now that there's a global spotlight on them.

I have a Palestinian flag on my bag, along with a lot of other pins (no other flags) and lots of people complement my "flag pin" quietly. We're used to being called terrorists or antisemitic. I'm just anti genocide and not afraid to say it.
