An investigation conducted by The Washington Post has raised new doubts about Israel’s claim that US-Turkish activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi was killed “during a violent riot” in Beita, Nablus, in the occupied West Bank.

According to the report, Eygi was shot more than a half-hour after the height of violence between Israeli soldiers and protestors - and 20 minutes after protesters had moved further down the road. The report also confirmed that Eygi was more than 200 yards away from Israeli soldiers when she was shot in the head.

The report provides more detail on how Israeli soldiers respond to protests over Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, which violates international law.

Eygi's family has demanded the US call for an independent investigation into her killing. In a statement, they said they were “deeply offended by the suggestion that her killing by a trained sniper was in any way unintentional”.

Something other than send more bombs to a unapologetic and obvious genocider.

They don't need prayers since they are at the center of the culture who invented them.

Edit: /s

  1. Jewish people didn't invent religion/prayer.
  2. Being Jewish isn't a quality deserving of criticism here.

Whoops forgot people here are too stupid to detect sarcasm, so I edited my comment to reflect this.

Oh no the liars were caught lying.

Pretty much everyone already knew it was the case as soon as they heard about it. They are literally killing people indiscriminately.

Calling them liars is accrate, but kind of buries the brazenly genocidal lede.

Everyone knows this. Israelis are on a genocidal rampage. They’re targeting women and children, raping to death, using attack dogs, disease, starvation. I don’t think it’s hyperbole to say they’re as bad as Nazis.

They’re not going to stop with the Palestinians either. Once they’re done genociding the Palestinians they’re going to come after the rest of the world unless we stop them.

Nope on being an hyperbole. Netanyahu's picture fits very squarely next to Hitler and Stalin. The whole demeanor is very similar. Not a single humane feeling goes through that man's heart, you can see it in his eyes. He's one of the monsters of our time.

They have nukes too. It's sickening that the USA, UK, Germany, Canada, etc. are pouring money and weapons into a regime of actively genocidal fascists with nukes, and fighting anyone who questions this.

Israel is a terrorist state. No different than Russia.

Is anyone surprised?
