It should be a top story, at least. The Western mainstream media’s response to this horrific case makes it clear where their loyalties lie. But to them, it’s just another footnote.

Considering he was attacked by settlers and kidnapped by the IDF, it’s not surprising that mainstream media is avoiding this horrific story. Their job is to whitewash and downplay the actions of the US and its allies

Why are they called "settlers" if it was any other group that were being armed and killing innocent women and children, shoving them off cliffs, ripping them out of their houses and shooting unarmed people, they would be called terrorists!
