Anyone notice how Israel is apologetic for killing foreign aid workers but treats the deaths of non-combatant Palestinians with complete and utter indifference?

Are they even apologetic? They're just doing the classic cop thing of 'investigating' this incident for the next 2 years until we all forgot about this because they went on to do even worse shit.

Look at how they slow walked the admission that they (probably purposefully) murdered Shireen Abu Akleh (Also an American citizen BTW) by first accusing Palestinians, then settling on the wild story of multiple stray bullets hitting her in the back behind cover.

No consequences for that, and they've just kept escalating more and more since.

The Israeli president and prime minister have apologized. Not saying that's anywhere near enough, but it is an official apologetic stance.

You mean the classic Israeli thing? They do this all the time. And 5 years from now when no one is paying attention they will admit it’s intentional

Dehumanize the enemy so you don't feel bad about killing them. A classic genocide tactic.
