All The News Anti-Palestinian Posters Will Not Read Or Discuss


Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi was buried on Saturday, one week and a day after the 26-year-old American activist was shot dead by an Israeli military sniper in the occupied West Bank.


Her body was transferred to Turkey, her birth country, for burial on Friday. Earlier in the week, a funeral procession was held in the northern West Bank city of Nablus, near where she was killed, her body draped in the Palestinian flag.


The international fallout following her killing is just beginning to unfold, bringing both Israeli impunity into the spotlight and the lengths to which Washington goes to shield Tel Aviv from accountability – even in the case of American citizens intentionally killed by Israeli forces.


Eygi was struck by a bullet in her head after two shots rang out during a period of calm following a protest against land theft and settlements in Beita, a Palestinian village in the northern West Bank. A Palestinian teenager was wounded but survived.
