Israel killed American activist who protested for Palestine - Arms Embargo NOW

From Al Jazeera on September 9: Aysenur Ezgi Eygi was murdered by an Israeli soldier in the occupied West Bank last week. Biden administration officials said Monday that they will allow Israel to investigate itself, rejecting calls for an independent investigation by Eygi's family. Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a 26-year-old American-Turkish activist, was taking part in a peaceful protest against illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank on September 6 when she was shot in the head and killed by Israeli Forces. The news that the Biden administration will allow Israel to investigate itself comes just months after Biden boldly proclaimed, "if you harm an American, we will respond." This is as ineffective as the police investigating themselves when accused of police brutality or murder. It is absolutely nonsensical and does not create conditions for true accountability. President Biden’s administration continues to supply and fund Israel while knowing since October 2023 that Israel has been targeting civilians. This is continued participation in Israel’s genocide of Palestinians, erasure of Palestine, and a violation of Leahy Law, which prohibits our government from funding foreign forces who are implicated in gross human rights violations. What will presidential candidate Kamala Harris do differently? International scholar and lawyer, Francesca Albanese, has documented how Israel’s gross human rights violations and war crimes are genocidal acts, including their targeting of hospitals and healthcare workers, targeting journalists and civilians, using starvation as a weapon, etc. Israeli government officials have repeatedly expressed genocidal intent. The Gaza Strip's ability to produce food and clean water has been severely destroyed by Israeli airstrikes and bulldozers which have razed farms and orchards. People have unearthed mass graves with evidence of torture. As people of conscience, we will not ignore this. I am demanding you to take immediate steps to stop Israel’s genocide of Palestinians by calling for 1) a total and permanent bilateral ceasefire, 2) humanitarian aid allowed to enter Gaza, 3) an end to Israel's siege on Gaza, 4) the release of all Palestinian and Israeli hostages, 5) no more weapons or funding to the Israeli military, 6) the reinstatement of UNRWA funding. A permanent ceasefire is an absolutely critical step to ensuring everlasting liberation and peace. The ICJ ruled that Israel should do everything in its power to prevent genocide. Never again means never again for anyone. Palestinians deserve to live with freedom and safety which means first stopping this genocide and then ensuring liberation from occupation and apartheid. The liberation and safety of Palestinians, Israelis, Jewish people, and Muslim people are intertwined. There can only be true safety when we are all free from oppression.
