There is a complete statement from Ayşenur Eygi's family calling for a stronger response from Joe Biden's administration for the murder of a US citizen at the hands of IDF soldiers.

An Israeli activist described the moment Ayşenur was killed. He described how systematic the Israeli settlers have been in continuous land theft from West Bank villages. Though the murder of Ayşenur, a US citizen, is shocking he mentions that the IDF has killed dozens of Palestinians in the West Bank who dare protest land theft since 2021.

Hamas put out a more thorough and strongly worded statement than the US White House.

The Hamas spokesperson called for Israel to stop using terrorist tactics and for the United Nations to intervene to stop Israel's illegal occupation.

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.

Earlier in the week Israel prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu proudly used a map of Israel that erased the West Bank. Both at his press conference journalist pressed him on this unusual erasure and again at the Whitehouse press conference journalists questioned this move.

But the death of Aysenur Eygi in the West Bank tells us everything we need to know. Israel is actively working to erase the West Bank and the White House is ignoring it.

When I first heard about Ayşenur's death I was so upset I could not post about it. I stopped through the University of Washington Palestine protest camp earlier this year and saw comrades old and new.

It was a beautiful work of activism and civic engagement that brought me to tears just spending time with the students.

A liberal boomer demanded recently to know what news I watch to formulate my opinions on the situation in Palestine...

They didn't seem to accept my answer that I just go outside and talk to the Palestinians in my neighborhood and hear what the activist have to say.

Everyday in the UW Palestine encampment the students held news sessions covering reports directly from the student's friends and family who were trapped in Gaza or the West Bank during the latest wave of Israeli aggressions.

I don't know if I crossed paths with Ayşenur but I do know that the treatment she and other students faced at the hands of local politicians and school officials was unfair and largely bullshit.

The school officials complained that the students wrote protest statements in chalk on sidewalks, decrying the graffiti. That is when they took breaks from ignoring the students.

The message from US local politicians is clear, they don't care and they want us to protest somewhere else. Bs.

And now with the death of Ayşenur we see where US politicians prefer we protest, somewhere our deaths can be ignored.

Bullshit.

Meanwhile UWs Jackson School of International Studies has a statue honoring its namesake WA Senator Henry Jackson, one of America's most instrumental zionist ever in Congress.

Jackson was so Zionist he didn't want the US to sign nuclear nonproliferation teaties that would have stopped Israel from getting nukes.
