Amer Rabee, a 14-year-old American boy, was shot and killed by Israeli soldiers while picking almonds in Turmus Ayya, a village with many U.S. citizens. The soldiers claimed the boys were throwing rocks at cars and labeled them as terrorists. Amer’s family insists he had no violent tendencies and was not politically motivated. Despite being a U.S. citizen, the family feels abandoned by President Donald Trump and the U.S. government. The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem offered condolences after Amer’s death, but there was little official response from the U.S. government. The family tried to contact the embassy for help, but it was too late. Turmus Ayya is a village with many dual citizens, and residents are caught in a dangerous situation due to settler violence in the West Bank. The village has a history of vandalism and attacks by settlers, causing fear among residents. The IDF released a video of the incident showing the boys in a night-vision recording, but the family disputes the claim that the boys were throwing rocks at cars. They believe the boys were simply picking almonds or engaging in harmless teenage behavior. The family hopes to shed light on Amer’s death to prevent similar tragedies from occurring to other children, regardless of nationality. They want their story to be heard to ensure the safety of all children in the world.
