Seattle #DSA Mourns #Aysenur Ezgi Eygi

Contact: info@seattledsa.org

"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."

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."

“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.

Più o meno alla stessa ora, non lontano da Qaryout, nel villaggio di #Beita, i soldati hanno ucciso una manifestante, un'attivista per i diritti umani con cittadinanza americana e turca.

#AysenurEzgiEygi è stata colpito alla testa durante una manifestazione contro l'insediamento illegale #Evyatar, costruito sul territorio del villaggio e già costato la vita ad almeno 7 palestinesi.

La Casa Bianca si è detta “profondamente turbata da questa tragica morte”.
Ma questa non è stata una “morte tragica”.

Jonathan Pollak, un giornalista di Haaretz, ha raccontato di aver visto i soldati su un tetto: “Ho visto i soldati sparare. Ho visto i soldati sparare”, aggiungendo che in quel momento non c'erano scontri in corso. ⬇️5

"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:

The Seattle activist community has been shocked by the news of the murder of Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi at the hands of Israeli snipers in the West Bank. Ayşenur was a student at UW and was active at protests here in Seattle.

She traveled to the village of Beita in the West Bank after graduation to work as a volunteer legal observer documenting the destruction and theft of Palestinian lands in the area.

Persino il ministro della Difesa, l'unico adulto responsabile del governo, non sta dando istruzioni all'esercito di trattare con severità i soldati disonesti e non sta presentando una posizione ordinata riguardo alla Cisgiordania.

Una linea diretta collega l'uccisione di Bana Laboom e quella dell'attivista per i diritti umani #AysenurEzgiEygi, una giovane turco-americana che pare sia stata uccisa dai soldati mentre partecipava a una manifestazione a #Beita, vicino a #Nablus.

Nel suo caso, sarà avviata un'indagine apparentemente seria.
Era americana, non solo una ragazza palestinese che vive sotto occupazione. ⬇️6

The #UN ‘has called for a "full investigation" into the killing of a #US-Turkish woman in the occupied #WestBank during a protest on Friday. Local media reported that #AysenurEzgiEygi, 26, was shot dead by #Israeli forces as she took part in a weekly protest against against Jewish settlement expansion in #Beita near #Nablus. Ms Eygi's family said a video showed she was killed by a bullet from an Israeli military shooter & called for the #US to investigate.‘ | BBC/YouTube m.youtube.com/watch?v=iu5TJJ5Q

Ieri il Ministero della Sanità palestinese ha riferito che #AysenurEzgiEygi, 26 anni, attivista per i diritti umani, cittadina #USA e turca, è stato uccisa da soldati dell'IDF mentre partecipava a una protesta contro gli insediamenti nel villaggio di #Beita, vicino a #Nablus

In risposta all'incidente, l'IDF ha dichiarato di aver “risposto con il fuoco contro il principale istigatore dell'attività violenta che scagliava sassi contro le forze armate e che rappresentava una minaccia per loro”, e ha aggiunto che sta esaminando le affermazioni secondo cui un cittadino straniero sarebbe stato ucciso dagli spari.⟧🔚4

Quando tutto è coperto nel quadro di una guerra al terrorismo, con i soli palestinesi considerati terroristi, con l'esercito e la polizia che compiono esecuzioni senza essere designati come agenti di uccisione di uno Stato terrorista; quando gli attacchi sono definiti come attacchi terroristici solo quando i palestinesi uccidono gli ebrei, non c'è da stupirsi che la storia della tentata esecuzione di un elettricista di #Beita sia stata pubblicata quasi esclusivamente su Haaretz.

Dopo tutto, a chi interessa che qualcuno venga colpito alla testa, così, come se niente fosse?"🔚9

Sparare a qualcuno che cerca di prestare il primo soccorso a un ferito è un crimine di guerra di altissimo livello.

Spero che, a seguito della riforma giudiziaria, i poliziotti di frontiera come quello che ha sparato in testa all'elettricista di #Beita, siano d'ora in poi perseguibili dalla Corte penale internazionale dell'Aia.

Solo lì c'è la possibilità che paghino per i loro crimini. Qui saranno considerati degli eroi. ⬇5

La maggior parte degli avamposti consiste principalmente in tende e strutture temporanee, mentre nell'avamposto di #Evyatar e in un avamposto di recente costituzione, che prende il nome di #HaMor, sono state erette strutture residenziali, sono stati preparate strade e sono stati fatti lavori di infrastruttura.
L'avamposto Evyatar si trova a 1,6 km a est di Zaatra Junction (Tapuah Junction), a sud di #Nablus, in un'area chiamata #JabalSabih, nelle terre dei villaggi di #Yatma e #Beita.

L'avamposto HaMor si trova sui terreni dei villaggi palestinesi #Sinjil e #LubanA_Sharkia, e vicino all'insediamento di Ma'ale Levona. ⬇3

Il numero di persone uccise dalle forze israeliane quest'anno si attesta, sorprendentemente, a più di 100.
Per molti anni, la vita intorno a #Beita è stata generalmente pacifica e ci siamo goduti molte belle passeggiate nella valle sotto la montagna di #JabalSabih, circondata da uliveti.

Poi, lo scorso febbraio, il procuratore generale israeliano si è mosso per autorizzare il ripristino dell'insediamento israeliano evacuato di #Evyatar, su un terreno di proprietà privata di palestinesi, vicino a Beita su Jabal Sabih. Da maggio 2021, i palestinesi hanno organizzato proteste regolari contro questo avamposto e altri insediamenti nell'area, che hanno portato alla morte di 9 palestinesi e al ferimento di 5.300. ⬇4

"Erano i primi giorni di aprile, nel 1988, al culmine della prima #intifada, e le colline erano inondate di fiori primaverili. Ho accompagnato il professore e attivista #NoamChomsky a visitare il villaggio palestinese di #Beita vicino a #Nablus.
Voleva parlare con gli abitanti del villaggio di un recente incidente in cui un gruppo di coloni israeliani di #ElonMoreh, a 10 km da Beita, avevano avuto uno scontro con alcuni abitanti del villaggio durante un'escursione. Due palestinesi e un colono erano rimasti uccisi.
L'esercito inizialmente aveva accusato i palestinesi della morte del colono. Era emerso più tardi che, come i due palestinesi morti, era stato ucciso da un proiettile sparato da uno degli uomini a guardia dei coloni. ⬇2
