  1. 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."

  2. Seattle honors #StandingRock #WaterProtector shot in the head by #Israel in the #WestBank

    By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, September 11, 2024

    SEATTLE -- "Standing Rock Water Protector #AysenurEygi was honored tonight on the banks of Alki Beach in Seattle. Aysenur, 26, was a life long activist, an American with dual citizenship in Turkey, and a recent graduate of the University of Washington.

    "Aysenur was among those who came to Standing Rock to defend the water from #DakotaAccess Pipeline [#DAPL]. Aysenur was 18 years old when she came to Standing Rock.

    "'It was an intentional killing which can not be justified,' said Jonathan Pollak, who tried to resuscitate Aysenur as she bled to death.

    "'It was quiet, there was nothing to justify the shot, the shot was taken to kill,' Pollak said

    "Aysenur was assassinated after dozens of #Palestinians and international #activists held a communal prayer on a hillside outside #Beita overlooking an Israeli settlement."

  7. “It has to change, & we’ll be making that clear to the senior-most members of the Israeli government,” #Blinken added.
    #AysenurEygi, who was raised in the Seattle area & was a recent graduate of the University of Washington, had been #volunteering w/the International Solidarity Movement, a pro-#Palestinian activist group. She was attending a #protest against #settlement expansion in the Palestinian village of #Beita when she was killed.

  8. "During the weekly demonstration in Beita, Palestine, on the morning of September 6th 2024, the Israeli army intentionally shot and killed International Solidarity Movement (ISM) human rights activist Ayşenur Eygi."

    You can read journals by volunteers for ISM, documenting daily action to protect Palestinian civilians against white Jewish nationalist (Zionist) genocidal violence:

  9. Even local parody news have picked up on how crummy the White House's statement via press secretary has been. The white house largely said "we'll wait until Israel's investigation is complete", which is far from the red line the claimed to have back in October last year.
