Let me read you what Israeli media has been saying. So American soldiers came under friendly fire in Kuwait. I don't know if any of them have died. Hopefully, none of them have died. But on Channel 12, Niv Raskin said this: We need to emphasize this is an incident involving American forces and not, heaven forbid, an incident involving Israeli forces."
"Why is that considered a trope? Why is it considered a trope to be concerned about American soldiers during these endless, nonsensical wars? Why is that considered a trope? I would like him to answer my question. Sacrificing American soldiers is totally OK, I guess."
"I've had to bury seven American soldiers. They went into the battlefield. Ana, please quit using the tropes on American soldiers. This is a huge figure in Israeli media saying this out loud. No, he's not a huge figure. He's a talking head on a morning show."
During a Piers Morgan Uncensored segment, Ana Kasparian from Young Turks engaged in a contentious debate with former IDF spokesman Jonathan Conricus and retired General Mark Kimmitt regarding U.S.-Israeli military operations. Kasparian raised concerns about American soldiers killed in conflicts she characterized as serving Israeli interests, citing six U.S. military deaths. When Kimmitt dismissed her concerns as tropes, Kasparian challenged this characterization, questioning how concern for American soldier casualties constitutes a trope. She referenced Israeli media commentary suggesting prioritization of Israeli forces over American ones in reporting friendly fire incidents. Conricus disputed the significance of Israeli media figures making such statements, while Kasparian maintained that prominent media voices matter in shaping narratives about military sacrifice.
