Isolationism at this point is just folly. The oceans weren’t big enough to keep the outside world out in 1941, much less today; like it or not the US is involved in the wider world and expected to have a stance on important issues. “Meddling” isn’t the right word
So... And we have what is likely to have been an accidental death of a "medic" in the midst of a crowd....
What does it have to do with the INTENTIONAL death at the hands of a terrorist Bomber and a Hamas bigwig cheering about it?
And... Opening an investigation is done to determine whether or not it was intentional... Not because it was "decided" it was intentional.
What WAS decided BY the investigation was : Israeli soldiers did not fire directly at Razan al-Najjar.
Only if one totally ignores the fact that B’Tselem said it was likely not accidentally, or that the IDF likewise rejected that theory at one point; oh and lied about the medic being affiliated with Hamas.
If it was an “accident” there wouldn’t be any reason to smear the person killed.
If it was clearly an accident, like you seem to think, there wouldn’t be an investigation in the first place; after all, the IDF did initially try and make that case. The argument was rejected....which was why the investigation was therefore opened.
