Hajj Kamel Ahmad Jawad’s family said he spent his last days helping victims of Israel’s attacks in Lebanon.
Smoke rises from the site of an Israeli airstrike on the town of Khiam on October 3, 2024, near Marjaayoun, Lebanon.The Israeli military killed American citizen Hajj Kamel Ahmad Jawad in a bombing on Lebanon on Tuesday, in the latest instance of Israel killing an American amid its U.S.-sponsored massacres.
“We are honored by my father’s sacrifice. In his last days, he chose to stay near the main hospital in Nabatieh to help the elderly, disabled, injured, and those who simply couldn’t financially afford to flee. He served as their guardian, provided them with food, mattresses, and other comforts, and anonymously paid off their debts,” the statement says.
“It’s our understanding that it was a legal permanent resident, not an American citizen. But we obviously offer our sincerest condolences to the family on their loss,” said Miller., of whom Jawad was a constituent. Further, it is telling that Miller would question Jawad’s citizenship at all, as it appears to be a way to question the significance of his death — which came as the U.S.Tlaib condemned Miller’s callous remarks. “I saw the article quoting claiming he wasn’t an American.
“Lance Corporal Haidar is among 148 residents we have been desperately trying to help evacuate from Lebanon. One of my constituents was already killed in an Israeli airstrike,” TlaibThe Council on American-Islamic Relations condemned the Biden administration for enabling Jawad’s killing.
