More Demands from the U.S.

This morning I saw this laughable breaking news headline in the Washington Post newsletter:

Breaking News: In rare rebuke, Blinken demands ‘fundamental changes’ to Israeli operations in West Bank after killing of American activist

 

It's laughable because Biden Administration rebukes of Israel are seldom "rare", and because they have been more common than ever since the October 7 pogrom by Hamas.

 

The regular headline is  U.S. demands IDF change West Bank operations after American’s killing. Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s comments were the strongest yet from a U.S. official after the Israeli military said it was “highly likely” it “unintentionally” killed Aysenur Eygi.

 

"Eygi, who was raised in the Seattle area and was a recent graduate of the University of Washington, had been volunteering with the International Solidarity Movement, a pro-Palestinian activist group. She was attending a protest against settlement expansion in the Palestinian village of Beita when she was killed."

 

Israel would be wise to ignore Blinken's demands.
