Joe Biden has described the Israel Defense Force’s fatal shooting of the Turkish American protester Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi as “totally unacceptable” in his first extensive comments on her death.

In a statement on Wednesday, Biden said that Israel had “acknowledged responsibility” for Eygi’s death, but he stopped short of backing the demands put out by Eygi’s family and other human rights advocates for an independent inquiry into the fatal shooting of the American activist at a protest in the West Bank town of Beita last week.

“I am outraged and deeply saddened by the death of Aysenur Eygi,” Biden said in the statement. “Israel has acknowledged its responsibility for Aysenur’s death, and a preliminary investigation has indicated that it was the result of a tragic error resulting from an unnecessary escalation.”

Then fucking do something about it. If you need your unsinkable aircraft carrier to enforce the petrodollar you shouldn’t have it in the first place.

Totally unacceptable but an accident so don’t expect anything to change.

“the USS Linertybwas just an accident, too. They didn’t mean it. Chill out bro. It’s all just a joke, bro.”

Ok yeah it’s bad, that’s a start. Now let’s work on all the other killing the IDF is doing. Or does it just matter when the victims are American or Israeli?

thejoker954@lemmy.world on 11 Sep 2024 20:17 collapse

It doesnt matter that the victim was American.

All being the wrong kinda of American did was elicit some empty words.

Rachel Corrie was the “right kind of American” and she still got no justice.

She most definitely was not 'the right kind of american.

“American activist” is not the kind of american the government wants.

And yet Biden will do nothing to curb the war crimes, even though he has the power to do so. Joe Biden is complicit

Trump stopped the war in Afghanistan and hasn’t started a single new one. Unlike Obama and Biden. I’m voting trump cuz I’m against genocide.

You use the word fascism in a way that it appears you need to look up it’s meaning in the dictionary.

Ah yes, totally unacceptable but there’s just nothing we could possibly do to let Israel know how displeased we are. Nothing at all. Definitely no weapons shipments we could stop or Israeli units we could sanction.

So it’s unacceptable when a person born in X country, but people born in Y country; I’ll approve it.
