Israel’s military has said it was highly likely its troops fired the shot that killed Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi, the American-Turkish woman killed at a protest in the occupied West Bank.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said her death was unintentional and expressed deep regret.
The statement came as Antony Blinken, the US secretary of state, called the killing of the 26-year-old last week “unprovoked and unjustified”.
Speaking on a diplomatic visit to London, Blinken told journalists that Eygi’s death showed the Israeli security forces needed to make fundamental changes to their rules of engagement.

“Yeah, we killed her. We’d killher again if we could. Whatcha gonna do about it?”
The Biden-Harris administration will say they are troubled and then provide $3 billion more to Israel.
Make no mistake - Trump would do that and more.
If both parties are for it, how can anyone be against it?
The country is more than a president.
The biggest change isn’t going to come from the top, it’s going to come from the bottom. Support local and state reps that share your values, they’re far more likely to get elected than a federal position, and have a much more direct impact on peoples daily lives (and ability to support reps at the federal level).
I live near the bottom, and I see a lot of anti Palestinian stuff, mostly pretending the Palestinians do not exist, with a random anti-Semitic accusation thrown it.
And it’s not just the democrats, I see this in many western nations. It’s a stain on many parties who speak many languages.
If the killings stopped today , this would be only a black mark against those involved. Something to get angry about by many. Accusing fingers could be pointed. Perhaps even reevaluation by some.
But we are only a quarter through the genocide. This will last months or years more. Many will be killed in the future. So this is an active crime scene. Those that will have fingers pointed at later are still doing harm now, and will do harm in the future.
Not just the high level politicians, but in all levels of each country. There is collective guilt , and that is not ended either
Ah, so might as well just revel in it instead of doing something to make the world a better place in the mean time.
Stop focusing so much on what you can’t change, and how horrible it is for you, and focus on what you can.
The sad truth is, give us someone who does. Who stands a chance. Then and only then will that discussion matter. Till then, not making things abjectly worse is sadly the best option. And we can push to improve from there. As opposed to trying to push to improve from a worse position in 4 years time.
Who stands a chance.
First they came for the Palestinians and I said nothing, because I didn’t want to ruin anyone’s electoral chances.
First of all its ghoulishly disingenuous for you to conflate providing arms. Which is wrong I’m not justifying that. To actually killing people. That’s straight up empty virtue signaling and not solving or convincing anyone of anything.
I asked who stands a chance. And you quoted it without even answering it. Useless. Right now the only viable option other than R or D in the presidential campaign is a widespread general uprising. Which I’m all for. If you got one let’s go kiddo. But I got news for you. If you don’t. What you’re doing is empty virtue signaling that only helps the worst people around. And makes enemies of possible allies. Which is how I know your words are empty.
It is ghoulishly disingenuous to suggest that a nation making their 500th shipment of child-exploding munitions to a genocidal warlord is somehow less culpable.
Biden is like a negligent parent, letting his mentally disturbed 14-year-old have access to the family assault rifle. Maybe after the first shooting he could havd a credible defense. But by now Netanyahu is on his 2000th school shooting, and Biden is still providing weapons.
Biden might as well be shooting those Palestinian children himself, the blood is on his hands.
I asked who stands a chance.
The people who collect the most corporate PAC money, obviously. So these are the only people it is reasonable to support.
what they said was. we didnt mean to murder that one. it was one of the other unarmed protesters we meant to murder. The other one was only Palestinian so chill… they dont matter remember!
Pretty much they mean “we say sorry if you keep letting us do it”.
Now they will know if they can get away with it and subsequently kill more international peace activists to push the remaining ones out, so they can go back to murdering Palestinians without holding back.

We’re Sorry
