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.
Make no mistake - Trump would do that and more.
If both parties are for it, how can anyone be against it?
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.
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.
No it isn’t. I’m not saying it’s right. I’ll criticize it all the time. American companies like IBM and Dow Chemical helped facilitate the Nazis genocide. They were not charged for murder or treated as murderers. Despite knowing exactly what their products were being used for. And the fact that please uses would generally not be considered Justified or acceptable. Only profitable. Sending arms to Israel right now especially is a horrible idea they’re current leadership are genocytomaniacs. But there is legitimate reason to arm Israel historically speaking I’m not saying that I agree with it. But just saying that there is some acceptability even so the situation is very different on many fronts.
That’s doesn’t rebut anything I said. But it is what I expect from leninists. Especially someone who would proudly associate with a monster-like Stalin. A wall of text that has nothing to do with anything.
The people who collect the most corporate PAC money, obviously. So these are the only people it is reasonable to support.
