Murder of Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi by Israeli sniper using US weapons; deafening silence by Biden-Harris-Trump.
The tragic killing of Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi, a Turkish-American activist, by an Israeli sniper in the West Bank demands a stronger response from the U.S. government. Ayşenur, a recent graduate from the University of Washington, was volunteering with the International Solidarity Movement, advocating for justice and opposing illegal Israeli settlements in Beita. According to eyewitness accounts, she was fatally shot by an Israeli sniper after the demonstration had already dispersed.This is not an isolated incident. At least 17 Palestinian protesters have been killed in Beita since 2020, but only Ayşenur’s death is making headlines because she was an American citizen. Her family, friends, and fellow activists are calling for an independent investigation. While the U.S. has expressed condolences and called for Israel to investigate, it is evident that an internal investigation will not suffice. The U.S. must demand an impartial inquiry and ensure full accountability for this heinous act.
If the U.S. government had acted when another American, Amado Sison, was shot by Israeli forces last month, perhaps Ayşenur would still be alive. American lives are being taken, yet there seems to be little urgency to hold Israel accountable. The U.S. must act decisively to stop this cycle of impunity.
