The shocking video of Israeli forces killing two Palestinians as they walked out with their hands raised should horrify the conscience of every American and European taxpayer. These men were surrendering — unarmed, compliant, no threat to anyone — yet they were executed in cold blood. This is not “self-defense.” This is murder.
What is even more unbearable is that Palestinians who try to defend their homes, their families, and their land from raids, settler attacks, and military assaults are also branded as “terrorists” and killed with impunity. It is impossible to watch these patterns — people shot as they surrender, homes bulldozed, children detained, entire communities terrorized — and not recognize the defining features of a lawless apartheid system.
So I ask: Why are the United States and European Union still bankrolling this? Why are democracies that claim to champion human rights pouring weapons and billions of dollars into a government that openly rejects international law and continues to commit grave abuses? This is not “supporting an ally.” It is enabling a regime that believes it can kill without consequences.
If America and Europe truly value human rights, then it’s time to stop writing blank checks for apartheid and start demanding accountability, justice, and the protection of Palestinian lives.
