Seattle #DSA Mourns #Aysenur Ezgi Eygi
Contact: [email protected]
"We were shocked and enraged to hear of the murder of recent University of Washington graduate Aysenur Ezgi Eygi at the hands of the Israeli Defense Forces [#IDF]. On September 6th, Aysenur was in the #WestBank standing alongside #Palestinians and other demonstrators peacefully protesting illegal Israeli settlements when Israeli forces fired two rounds of gunfire. Aysenur was shot in the head and died shortly after being transported to a hospital in Nablus. She joins the tens of thousands of Palestinians martyred by the Israeli military in the last year, now escalated even further with the brutal invasion of the West Bank. According to the International Solidarity Movement, who she was volunteering with at the time, she is the 18th protester killed in the Palestinian village of #Beita since 2020 defending against the illegal settlement expansions.
"This is a terrible, horrifying loss. Those of us who knew Aysenur ('Ezgi', for many who organized with her) knew her to be a genuine, passionate, and determined person –a voice for the oppressed and the working class internationally. And for her, words alone were not enough. Ezgi was the type of socialist who embodied the true spirit of solidarity. From #StandingRock to organizing against Trump’s hateful agenda to the #GeorgeFloyd uprising, wherever people were struggling for liberation, Ezgi was there at their side. She played an instrumental role in organizing the #ProPalestine student encampment at #UW last spring, even participating in negotiations with the administration regarding their ties to #Boeing and Israel.
"As we mourn Ezgi’s loss, we remember her words from a 2017 speech during a student walkout she helped lead right after #Trump’s inauguration:
"'Mass movements of ordinary people have succeeded in blocking #RightWing bigoted presidents before….we are fighting for #socialist change. As long as our future is decided by profit-driven #OilCorporations and #millionaire lobbyists, things will only get worse. For many of us, this movement isn’t just about stopping Trump, it’s about creating a world free from #racism, from #sexism, from income inequality, and 3environmental disruption…And ultimately, we call for a political revolution against the #BillionaireClass and a socialist alternative.'
"We offer our deepest condolences to all family, friends, and community who are affected by this loss. We grieve alongside the International Solidarity Movement, and support the call for an independent investigation into this unlawful killing of a U.S. citizen.
"As the Biden/Harris administration continues to enable a #genocide, we demand an immediate and permanent ceasefire and end to US military aid to #Israel. Only when the US government stops funding it will there be an end to the genocide, occupation, and #apartheid in Palestine. We can only hope to honor Ezgi’s example of resistance and continue to fight for a world free from #genocide, #imperialism, #capitalism, and for the liberation of Palestine and all oppressed people."

At this morning's State Department press briefing reporters questioned the Biden administration's position on waiting for Israel to investigate the murder of American citizen Ayşenur Eygi. Reporter Prem Thakker points out that its been over 200days since the death of Hind with no developments coming from Israel's investigation yet the world's press has already determined her murder at the hands of the IDF was an intentional war crime.
