Investigation casts doubt on Israeli claim that Turkish-American activist shot in head by Israel was killed 'unintentionally' during confrontation

An investigation conducted by The Washington Post has raised new doubts about Israel’s claim that US-Turkish activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi was killed “during a violent riot” in Beita, Nablus, in the occupied West Bank.

According to the report, Eygi was shot more than a half-hour after the height of violence between Israeli soldiers and protestors - and 20 minutes after protesters had moved further down the road. The report also confirmed that Eygi was more than 200 yards away from Israeli soldiers when she was shot in the head.

The report provides more detail on how Israeli soldiers respond to protests over Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, which violates international law.

Eygi’s family has demanded the US call for an independent investigation into her killing. In a statement, they said they were “deeply offended by the suggestion that her killing by a trained sniper was in any way unintentional”.

      They don’t need prayers since they are at the center of the culture who invented them.

        1. Jewish people didn’t invent religion/prayer.
        2. Being Jewish isn’t a quality deserving of criticism here.
