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.”
Oh NOW he thinks they’ve gone too far.
Well no, he didn’t say that
Biden: killing Americans in the west bank is totally unacceptable…but we will accept it.
And yet Biden will do nothing to curb the war crimes, even though he has the power to do so. Joe Biden is complicit
Neither will Harris, should she be elected. The Wolfowitz doctrine is alive and well.
Trump will only bend the knee even more
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?
It doesnt matter that the victim was American.
All being the wrong kinda of American did was elicit some empty words.
That took long enough.
It’s unacceptable!
Proceeds to accept it and keep going on as normal
“Listen here, if you don’t stop the genocide, I’m going to be really upset with you! 😠” - Biden
“unacceptable” I do not think this word means what you think it means…
This event was unacceptable, no exception caused ke while I go back to accepting it.
