American killed by Israeli settlers in the West Bank, family says
ABC News ^

Posted on 07/14/2025 2:59:39 PM PDT by navysealdad

A 20-year-old American from Florida was allegedly beaten to death by Israeli settlers while visiting his family in the West Bank, according to Palestinian health officials and his family.

Sayfollah "Saif" Musallet was killed in the town of Sinjil, north of Ramallah, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry in the West Bank.

A second man was also shot dead in the attacks, according to the health ministry.

Musallet was trying to protect his family's land from Israeli settlers, who surrounded him for over three hours, blocking the ambulance from reaching him, according to his family. He died before making it to the hospital, they said.

And why were the Israeli settlers attacking him? Was he just an innocent, peace loving family man minding his own business or is there more to the story? It would be foolish to assess the situation without having answers to those questions.

What country you going back to? UK? Ireland? Italy? If you want to decolonize, start with yourself.

I am kinda curious what a Florida man like Sayfollah “Saif” Musallet was doing there? It just seems like an odd place for such an obviously all American Florida Man to vacation. Is there really good shopping there? Maybe a nice beach that is better than a Florida Man can find at his home in Florida Yes, that might be it. Perhaps he was skipping stones at the nice beach at the West Bank. The article, as poorly written as it was, kind of hinted that some might have been throwing stones there and maybe some Israelis might have gotten in the way or something. I also read that this Florida man’s Florida family is upset about the whole thing and wants Rubio to do something about it. I am okay with Rubio looking into improving Florida Beaches so that Florida Men won’t have to travel so far to find a nice beach to skip stones on. As long as he doesn’t spend too much on it. The Florida Man’s Florida family could certainly have found a better place for Florida Man Saif to skip stones though so that’s on them.

I presume it was because he was throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails at the settlers as was posted above.

You asked what his cause was and I gave the basic answer provided in the article. I was assessing nothing.

Okay, my bad. But I was referring to his political cause, (i.e. his motivation for throwing rocks) not his response to being attacked.

So it’s ok to murder him.

Maybe his death was accidental. Regardless, it is a really really bad idea to go to a foreign country (remember, he is a Florida Man) go to a foreign country and throw rocks and possibly Molotov cocktails at the people there. You can expect very bad things to happen no matter where in the world you engage in that sort of activity. It's curious that medical help did not arrive for three hours. Right now, there seem to be more questions than answers.

“ ABC is fake News. I don’t take their word for anything. Let’s look at the evidence from a reliable source.”

I don’t know about this case, but there was one from earlier this year when Israeli “settlers” were blamed for some Pali deaths, but it turned out the Palis had ticked of some Bedouins, and they retaliated.

Still no idea what happened. Just no information no sequence of events. No events for that matter.

Yup.

I learned an interesting fact yesterday that flat out shocked me.

There are areas/towns in Israel, where it is literally illegal for a jew to enter.

Arabs are allowed anywhere in Israel.

Jews aren’t.

In their own damn country.

Time for the Israelis to take back 100% of their land and give all the Arabs the left boot of fellowship.

Plenty of arab nations on all sides to choose from.

Jmho

Sounds like you don’t much. The Arabs go in and occupy the land and do not believe in Israeli laws. So they build structures and infrastructure on Land they do not own, and the IDF lets tthem.then the so called settlers reclaim the land and are murdered in the fields. How much would you allow if squatters moved into your house? They did not murdered these folks. They were killed because they were trying to kill Jews.

Ambulances are attacked almost always. The area has to be cleared first.

There’s “that word” again. “Allegedly”. Could, should, may, any word implying guilt . They know their flock is too stupid to understand what is being asked of them.

Not a problem. FWIW I wasn’t addressing any response he had to being attacked either.

I think he was attacked for throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails and his political cause was being a muslim who thinks his terrorist family should be allowed to squat on Israeli soil. But that’s just my assumption.

Israelis have good reason to be suspicious of muslims.

“American” man, my foot.
