Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank have beaten to death a United States citizen in his early 20s, the victim’s family members and rights groups have said.
“We are aware of reports of the death of a US citizen in the West Bank,” Reuters reported a State Department spokesperson as saying. The official declined to comment further “out of respect for the privacy of the family and loved ones” of the reported victim.
Yes it absolutely did. Stop being deliberately obtuse.

You cut off my sentence. Here’s the full quote.
Whether or not there was an implication at all is subjective. I don’t think that criticism of one party should be understood to be at the exclusion of another party, but whether or not that implication is there at all is up to you. I think making those sorts of inferences makes it very difficult to have any discussion about politics when criticising some group is meant as condoning another group; in that case any political statement would have to be very long to list all the groups it applies to.
But I didn’t say that it wasn’t implied at all; I said it wasn’t implied at the same level. Your reply to the original comment would make no sense if you didn’t believe that they only thought MAGA supporters were ok with Israel killing USAmericans. There’s far more ambiguity in the original comment, and I don’t believe it automatically lends itself to your interpretation (which was proven wrong by that commenter saying they don’t believe such a thing), but in any case it is absolutely not the same level of implication as your comment.
