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 just want to point out how interesting it is that this comment called it the “Biden-Harris administration.” Interesting.

Just saying. That specific framing at this specific time? I know it’s a fairly common way of referencing the admin—for an NYT story. But it was just very, very telling for some random internet comment to call it that in reference to this situation at this time. It just seemed very much like showing the commenter’s hand. Subtle, but painfully apparent.

So you’re making up things in your mind and then attributing those things to the commenter?

Your comment says far more about you than it does anyone else. You make ‘jumping to conslusions’ seem like a child’s game.
