Israel’s military has said it was highly likely its troops fired the shot that killed Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi, the American-Turkish woman killed at a protest in the occupied West Bank.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said her death was unintentional and expressed deep regret.

The statement came as Antony Blinken, the US secretary of state, called the killing of the 26-year-old last week “unprovoked and unjustified”.

Speaking on a diplomatic visit to London, Blinken told journalists that Eygi’s death showed the Israeli security forces needed to make fundamental changes to their rules of engagement.

    I think you’re splitting hairs here.

    The difference between “aiding and abetting” and “comitting” are vanishingly small. Both crimes deserve the most severe condemnation, both crimes deserve the most severe punishment.

      Hey that’s your opinion and your welcome to it. It’s not supported by facts evidence or reality. But that’s never stopped anyone.

      Inevitably. Every single time with people like you this is always what it comes down to. Not a genuine discussion or anything even resembling. Someone agrees with you 99%. But they don’t grind the same pet axe that you grind. Or feel the same need to misrepresent facts as you do. All of a sudden you feel this deep urge. A need to tell someone whose Family actually survived genocide at the hands of the United States what genocide is. What I said was not to defend the United states. It was to not downplay what genocide is. The United States plenty guilty of genocide elsewhere. They’re not committing genocide in this case they are enabling it. And that’s horrible wrong should be charged prosecuted etc etc etc etc etc. It’s not genocide.
