Israel killed her 21 years ago.

All part of Israeli policy of bulldozing the homes of people who dare resist them.

Duopoly will continue the status quo.

Today Israeli forces killed Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi, a Turkish-US citizen, in the West Bank, shooting her in the head as she protested one of the country’s growing and accelerating illegal settlements in the Palestinian territory. The US and Israeli governments are claiming that it is unclear who killed her, but as multiple US outlets report, eyewitnesses and Palestinian officials in the territory say she was killed by Israeli gunfire, and the Israeli military admits that it shot at the protesters.

And . . . that’s it.

No statement from the president, vice president, or any administration official. No condemnation of the unnamed killers, not even a tepid one, nor is there any vow that they will be brought to justice.

In fact, reading the US statements, you wouldn’t even know that Eygi was killed by anyone — just that she tragically, mysteriously died, somehow. Nor has she received the warm, lengthy tributes to her life, character, and future dreams that officials rightly included in their statements on Goldberg-Polin. While officials went to great lengths to demonstrate their grief over his death, the response to Eygi is markedly emotionless.

In fact, we could just look at the last couple of weeks alone, when multiple US citizens have been attacked and shot by Israeli forces and settlers at the exact same protest that Eygi was killed at, and US officials not only didn’t utter a peep about it, they didn’t even bother contacting and checking in on them.In fact, we could just look at the last couple of weeks alone, when multiple US citizens have been attacked and shot by Israeli forces and settlers at the exact same protest that Eygi was killed at, and US officials not only didn’t utter a peep about it, they didn’t even bother contacting and checking in on them.

The end result is that the Israeli government effectively has a green light to kill Americans whenever it wants — a green light, and the means to do so, since these murders are supplied and underwritten by the US government itself.

Given that the Israeli military has itself now killed more than forty-thousand people, engaged in sickening sexual torture, and now also killed US citizens, what does that say about the Israel Defense Forces? And why is the US government still giving such an institution billions of dollars in military aid?
