Father of Turkish-American activist urges US to investigate her killing in West Bank
|
|
This one is very curious. How did she come to be shot with a single bullet behind the left ear, twenty minutes after the shooting stopped? Why did the Palestinian medics try six times to restart her heart if she visibly had a bullet through her skull? What was a nice Turkish-American girl doing flying around the world on her own from the age of eighteen? Why did she go on her own to a dangerous situation in the West Bank when she was a newly graduated and happily wed? [IsraelTimes] Mehmet Suat Eygi welcomes Turkish investigation into ‘arbitrary murder’ of his daughter Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, who IDF has said ‘with high probability’ was fatally shot by troops
The father of the Ottoman Turkish-American activist fatally shot in the West Bank on Thursday welcomed The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
’s decision to initiate an investigation into her death and called on the United States to do the same.
Aysenur Ezgi Eygi
…age 26, activist with the International Solidarity Movement, which hosts far-left activists from around the world to provide human shields for violent PLO protests against Israel… who held Ottoman Turkish and American citizenship, was killed last Friday during demonstrations against settlements in the West Bank. A witness who was there, Israeli protester Jonathan Pollak, said she posed no threat to Israeli forces and that the shooting came during a moment of calm, following festivities between stone-throwing protesters and Israeli troops firing tear gas and bullets.
The Israel Defense Forces said this week in a preliminary report that Eygi was "with high probability" fatally hit by IDF troops’ mistaken gunfire, while expressing regret for the killing.
Turkey’s Justice Minister Yilmaz Tunc announced Thursday that Turkey had launched its own investigation into her death days.
Mehmet Suat Eygi, who is based in Seattle but spoke in western Turkey, said he was very happy to learn that Turkey had opened an investigation into what he called the "arbitrary murder" of his daughter.
"I hope that the American government does the same," he said.
He said his daughter was 10 months old when the family left Turkey for the United States. "She studied in the schools there, she grew up with freedoms there. She is a citizen of that country," he said. "I hope the American government will show the same sensitivity."
He was speaking in the Aegean coastal town of Didim, where Eygi used to come for vacations and spend time with family members — and where she is expected to be buried. Eygi’s grandfather’s home and the street where the house is located was adorned with Ottoman Turkish flags — an honor usually bestowed to Ottoman Turkish soldiers killed in conflict.
The Ankara chief prosecutor’s office was leading the Ottoman Turkish probe, Tunc said, adding that Turkey would seek international arrest warrants for those responsible for her death. He also said Turkey would present findings to a UN court overseeing a genocide case against Israel filed by South Africa over the war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...

 ..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
’s October 7 attack. The charges in the case are rejected by both Israel and the US.
"We will take every judicial step for our martyred daughter, Aysenur," Tunc said.
Mehmet Suat Eygi said his daughter was a "special person" who cared about nature and human rights
...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions...
and traveled to Brazil, Australia and Mexico to campaign for environmental and human rights issues.
And world peace. It’s a requirement to add caring about world peace if you’re pretending to be a true humanitarian, as opposed to a cause junkie or a jihad tourist. Eygi, who attended Seattle schools and graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in psychology this year, was married and was financially comfortable, her father said. "She could have enjoyed a comfortable life, but she pursued her ideals. She left everything and went to the hell of the Middle East. She was that idealistic," Eygi said.
Another relative, Ali Tikkin, told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named that Eygi’s family believes she was deliberately targeted by Israeli soldiers.
"There was no error or accident," he said. "I think it was a message to the world."
Tikkin, who is married to Eygi’s aunt, described the activist as a "free-spirited person" who began traveling the world on her own at an early age.
"Even at the age of 18 or 19, she went to different countries of the world on her own. First she started traveling out of curiosity. Later she took part in organizations by the United Nations
...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships...
," he said. "She was sensitive to events happening around the world."
A statement released by the Paleostinian Authority’s Ministry of Justice and signed by two forensic doctors said Eygi was brought to Rafidia Hospital in Nablus, in the West Bank, after she was hit with a bullet fired by the Israeli army. The young woman had no signs of life as her heart was not beating, the statement said, adding that the bullet entered from behind the left ear causing damage to the brain.
I would love to know if it is the same kind of bullet used by the IDF, or something else. But I don’t imagine the PA will share. Medical staff tried for a sixth time to reactivate her heart with no luck and she was considered dead at 2:36 p.m. on Friday. The statement said the bullet damaged the brain and the skull and different shrapnel caused tears and bruises.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Thursday that the Biden administration was aware of outside analyses saying that Ezgi Eygi was shot 20 minutes after the festivities ended, raising questions about the Israeli military’s role in her death. "This awful, awful killing never should have happened," said Jean-Pierre, but declined to say whether the administration was satisfied by the initial investigation by the Israel Defense Forces.
Ottoman Turkish Foreign Ministry officials said Eygi’s body was expected to be flown from Tel Aviv to Baku, Azerbaijan and arrive in Turkey on Friday. Burial was likely to take place on Saturday.
