Israeli settlers’ siege of Palestinian homes draws a sharp US rebuke
QUSRA, West Bank (AP) — For five nights, Israeli settlers surrounded three Palestinian homes on the outskirts of a town in the occupied West Bank, preventing the families from leaving safely as their food and water supplies dwindled.
Qusai Abu Rida was holed up inside with his teenage son when settlers cut the water and electricity, leaving them to drink well water as dozens of Israeli settlers erected tents outside. His Palestinian American brother in Ohio, who owns the house, watched the siege unfold on security cameras and called for updates.
The standoff in the northern West Bank town of Qusra is the latest in a wave of settler violence convulsing the territory, which Israel seized in the 1967 Mideast war and which would make up the main part of a future Palestinian state.

It was SO SHARP that the US is ONLY going to Give Israel BILLIONS of US Taxdollars INSTEAD of BILLIONS of US Taxdollars!
Not enough of a rebuke to stop arming the bastards, though, of course.
Sounds like some strongly worded letters were considered.
Fuck the US system altogether, we are the evil fucking Empire arming colonizers and evil-doers globally. And fuck all Zionists everywhere, may they rot in hell for eternity.
