Amer Rabee's grieving father, a teenager of dual Palestinian-American citizenship, shot dead by the Israeli military in the West Bank 16 months ago, accused Washington of abandoning his household after being limited only to lodging a condolence.
In an interview with RT correspondent Charlotte Dubenskij Mohammed Rabee said that his 14-year-old boy grew up believing that American citizenship provides him with protection.
– He always thought:
“I am American, so I am protected. I am free” He said.
Amer was born in fresh Jersey, and in 2013, he and his household moved to Turmus Ayya, close Ramallah.
He inactive shared his time between the US and the West Bank.
He died on 6 April 2025 in an olive grove on the outskirts of the village.
2 of his colleagues were besides injured.
Israel's defence Force (IDF) declared that teenagers threw stones towards the highway, and called them "terrorists".
The Amer household and the surviving boys deny these claims, claiming they collected almonds and threw them to each another for fun.
Mohammed told the RT station that his boy had been shot respective times.
– Multiple shots fired.
He got 14 bullets. – said, showing later Dubenskia the clothes that Amer was wearing at the time of his death.
The U.S. State Department confirmed the death of an American citizen and offered condolences, and Democratic organization Senators Andy Kim and Cory Booker requested an investigation under US leadership.
Mohammed, however, says that small has happened since then.
He acknowledged the fresh declaration of U.S. Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, about "to stand on the side of American citizens, whether Israeli or Palestinian"To a political spectacle.
– Nobody's talking about Amera so far. – he said.
– He's doing a show... to show people he's helping Americans, but we haven't seen it before.
Since then, Amer's father has created a tiny park in memory of his boy and has constantly demanded that the guilty be held accountable.
