U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib and the peace group CodePink were among those who condemned Friday’s killing by Israeli forces of a 13-year-old Palestinian boy in the illegally occupied West Bank.<\/p>\n

Middle East Eye<\/em> reports<\/a> Mohammed Daadas, who was from the Askar refugee camp in Nablus, was shot in the stomach during a post-prayer confrontation with Israeli forces in Deir al-Hatab, a village east of Nablus that has been the site of repeated attacks<\/a> by Israeli settler-colonists over the past month. The Palestinian Health Ministry said Daadas died in a Nablus hospital later Friday after attempts to save his life failed.<\/p>\n

Tlaib (D-Mich.), the first Palestinian-American woman elected to Congress, responded to the boy’s death by tweeting<\/a>, “Our country must stop enabling the killing of children.”<\/p>\n

The United States gives nearly $4 billion<\/a> in annual, no-strings-attached military aid to Israel, one of the world’s wealthiest<\/a> nations on a per-capita basis.<\/p>\n

Noting the high number of Palestinian children killed by Israeli forces, the women-led peace group CodePink asked, “How many more?”<\/p>\n
