CNN reports: An American died in the West Bank on Saturday, the US State Department confirmed Monday, the second death in less than a month of a US citizen in the occupied Palestinian territory.

“We can confirm the death of a U.S. citizen civilian in the West Bank on February 10, 2024,” a State Department spokesperson told CNN, adding that department officials “are working to gather more information and have pressed the Government of Israel for further information.”

“We extend our deepest condolences to the family,” the spokesperson said. “Out of respect to the family, we have nothing further to share.”

Last month, another American, 17-year-old Tawfiq Hafiz Ajjaq, was fatally shot in the head, according to Palestinian news agency WAFA. Israel’s police have opened an investigation into the incident, the IDF and Israeli police told CNN last month.

Defense for Children International – Palestine adds: Mohammad Ahmed Mohammad Khdour, 17, was shot in the head by Israeli forces around 4:30 p.m. on February 10 west of the Palestinian town of Biddu, northwest of Jerusalem in the central occupied West Bank, according to documentation collected by Defense for Children International – Palestine.

      Despite all the progress we’ve made, Colorado still doesn’t allow write-in votes.

      Also, you just admitted your intent to commit voter fraud on a public forum, definitely not a smart move.

        As the only real leftist on this site, I will be travelling to each state just so I can commit voter fraud in each one and write in “Karl Stalin.”

          OK seriously, what’s with all these comments? Like I know the phrase “It’s her turn” is tied to Hillary Clinton, but why is this being said in reference to people claiming they’re going to cast votes in multiple states? I can’t seem to connect the dots with any google searches, maybe someone can fill me in?

        I love committing voter fraud. Every election day I do a road trip and see how many times I can vote. My apartment is wallpapered in “I voted” stickers 10 deep. I am responsible for every single Bernie Sanders write-in vote in 2020.
