I wonder if Israel shooting US citizens will change their support for Israel?

Nah, she's brown and muslim, doesn't really count as a US citizen.

Shireen Abu Akleh was also a US citizen. The IOF murdered her and attacked mourners as they carried her coffin at the funeral. They bulldozed the memorial on the site where she was killed.

And Rachel Corrie was a proper US citizen, not even that helped.

So, a hard no then?

Unfortunately. "The West" decided a long time ago to side with Israel rather than with humanity.

There's no apparent justification for this either, though nobody has yet claimed responsibility for the killing of three Israeli security guards:

Apparent?

Israel was quick to claim the woman they killed the other day was throwing rocks, there is no apparent reason for this.

“reason” vs “justification” ?

The IDF statement on the incident said it was looking into the report that troops had killed a foreign national while firing at an “instigator of violent activity who hurled rocks at the forces and posed a threat to them”.

Moneer Khdeir...was derisive of the IDF account. “They said that the stones posed a threat to the soldiers. They were stones thrown by kids from all the way down there, yet they talk about it like it was a Yassin [rocket propelled grenade],” Khdeir scoffed.

That report makes no mention of more than 600 West Bank Palestinians killed since the Hamas attack. Illegal settlers appear to be largely responsible, with the IDF rarely intervening.

The BBC one I linked to does. And that's likely it, but with nobody claiming responsibility nobody can say for sure, hence "apparent".

Apologies, I missed that.
