来自美国俄亥俄州托莱多市的巴勒斯坦裔美国人Loui Ridi在约旦河西岸Qusra的住宅遭到以色列定居者的包围和威胁1。该住宅位于Nablus南部1。美国驻以色列大使Mike Huckabee于8月13日在X平台上谴责定居者的行为，将其描述为"恐怖分子"的所为1。
Ridi家族在俄亥俄州西北部、密歇根州和印第安纳州创办并运营着超市、洗车店和加油站连锁企业，该公司成立于1999年1，每年向慈善机构和非营利组织捐赠数十万美元1。加沙战争期间的定居者暴力事件加剧了美国公众对以色列支持政策的分歧。Pew Research Center在4月发布的民调显示，60%的美国人对以色列持不利看法，较一年前增加了7个百分点1。亲以色列游说组织Aipac今年支持的多位高调候选人在初选中失败，尽管投入了数千万美元1。
A Palestinian-American family based in Toledo, Ohio has found their property in the occupied West Bank threatened by Israeli settlers, bringing the conflict directly into the heartland of the United States.1 Loui Ridi's residence in Qusra, located south of Nablus in the West Bank, has been surrounded and threatened by settlers, highlighting how the Gaza war and settler violence are now affecting Arab-American communities across the American Midwest.1
The incident has intensified an already contentious national debate over U.S. policy toward Israel. U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee characterized the settlers' conduct as the behavior of "terrorists" in a post on X on August 13.1 The controversy reflects growing American public skepticism toward Israel, with a Pew Research Center poll conducted in April finding that 60 percent of Americans hold an unfavorable view of Israel, an increase of 7 percentage points from the previous year.1 Meanwhile, multiple prominent candidates backed by AIPAC suffered losses in primary elections this year despite the organization's investment of tens of millions of dollars.1
The Ridi family operates a business empire spanning supermarkets, car washes, and gas stations established in 1999 across northwestern Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana, and donates hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to charities and nonprofit organizations.1
