Israeli forces killed an American youth during West Bank clashes on Friday, U.S. officials confirmed. “The United States expresses its deepest condolences to the family of a U.S. citizen minor who was killed by the Israeli Defense Forces during clashes in Silwad,” according to a State Department statement. A relative identified the minor as 14-year-old Orwah Hammad, and said that his father Abed Al- Wahhab was traveling to the region to attend his son’s funeral on Sunday. Reuters reported that he was shot in the head in Silwad, north of the Palestinian seat of government in Ramallah.

A member of the Israeli Defense Forces “identified a person throwing a Molotov cocktail and fired at at him. The force identified a hit and the IDF is now investigating the incident,” an Israeli army spokesman told NBC News. Tensions have bubbled over in the area in recent days as more Jews accompanied by police visit the holy site known to them as Temple Mount and to Muslims as Noble Sanctuary during the Sukkot holiday. Palestinians worry that the visits, along with the moving-in of dozens of Israeli settlers to homes in an Arab district in the shadow of the holy compound, will deepen Israel’s claim to the city as its indivisible capital.

    The media propaganda with the role to protect Israel could not continue forever in spite of what is already in front of everyone’s eyes.
    The consequence of this World War of Religion instigated by the Zionists should be looked over even by the same citizens of Israel.
    If at first it may seem that Muslims are fighting Jews and Christians joined together soon after the next conflict will certainly be one between Christians and Jews for the Deception on 9/11. Without a scapegoat no media propaganda could save the Jews from a drastic change of public opinion.
    Should this be the greatest gift that the citizens of Israel wish upon themselves and want to offer to the whole World?
    We are still in time to put the past in a new prospective and to build a World that could welcome the next generations.
    This is not mere idealism but a real possibility.
    It is difficult to comprehend why the Jewish people would want to fall back in the same path that over the time has brought nothing but destruction of many innocent lives.
    This seems the perfect time to change the rules of the game but if this World conflict must happen then let it be one between the old Animals versus a new Humankind.
