Rights advocates call on the Trump administration to ensure accountability for the killing of Sayfollah Musallet.

Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank have beaten to death a United States citizen in his early 20s, the victim’s family members and rights groups have said.

“We are aware of reports of the death of a US citizen in the West Bank,” Reuters reported a State Department spokesperson as saying. The official declined to comment further “out of respect for the privacy of the family and loved ones” of the reported victim.

          Its use as an insult to mock those to whom it applies, is what makes it a burn. I’m already well aware of what it is, but had never seen or heard anyone apply a specific name to it. It’s mine now, and I’m going to use it to insult land thieves wherever and whomever they are.
