Congressmember Pramila Jayapal, who represents Seattle, has just released a statement expressing concern over Aysenur's killing by Israeli forces:

[PVT @propvstruth]

🚨🇺🇸: The American activist, Ayesnur Ezgi, who was shot in the head by Israeli Occupation Forces during a PEACEFUL protest has been martyred.

[Suppressed News. @SuppressedNws]

⚡️BREAKING:

Aysenur Izgy, 26 year old American activist with Turkish origin was executed [Shot in the head and killed] by Israeli soldiers while participating in PEACEFUL protests in the town of Beita, Nablus, Occupied West Bank.

She was targeted by israeli soldiers during the weekly anti-settlement protest.

She was volunteering with the Faz3a campaign to support and protect Palestinian farmers from the violations of the occupation and settlers.

Like Rachel Corrie, Aysenur stood in solidarity with Palestinians and chose to pay the ultimate price for her unwavering commitment to liberation and resistance against the israeli occupation.

[Guy Oron @GuyOron]

Seattle community members are grieving the loss of Aysenur “Aysha” Izgy , a recent University of Washington Seattle graduate who volunteered in the occupied West Bank with an organization that advocates against illegal seizures of Palestinian land by Israeli settlers.

Came upon this chilling statistic while working on a story today: 60% of all young people currently detained, directly in King County's youth jail in Seattle or via electronic home monitoring, are Black.
Black people make up only 7% of the county's total population.

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

The Israeli military’s campaign to significantly expand a “buffer zone” along the eastern perimeter of #Gaza should be investigated as the war crimes of wanton destruction and collective punishment.

[Democracy Now! @democracynow]

Israeli activist @gershonbaskin has served as a backchannel negotiator with Hamas for many years and secured a historic 2011 prisoner exchange. He says the group has agreed to a ceasefire deal that would release all the Israeli hostages currently held in Gaza, but that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "doesn't want to end the war” and keeps putting up new barriers to prevent a resolution.

[BDS movement @BDSmovement]

By completely erasing any mention of ISRAEL as the perpetrator of the ongoing live streamed military assault on PALESTINIANS in the West Bank and genocide against 2.3 million PALESTINIANS in Gaza, @BBCWorld is entrenching its infamous racist policy of erasing Palestinians and simultaneously whitewashing, even justifying, Israel's genocide.

Racism aside, this betrays fundamental principles of journalistic ethics and professionalism.

On this day in 1875, armed white men from Clinton and Vicksburg, Mississippi, formed roving bands targeting Black men. An estimated 50 Black people were killed. https://t.co/OR8jNj858d

NEW: Alabama is farming out incarcerated people to work at hundreds of companies, including McDonald’s & Wendy’s.

The state takes 40% of wages and often denies parole to keep people as cheap labor.

Getting written up can lead to solitary confinement. This is modern day slavery.

The BDS movement calls for maximum grassroots and civil society pressure on all states, the United Nations, and regional bodies to take the following actions ⬇️

[BDS movement @BDSmovement]

On 19 July, the International Court of Justice declared Israel guilty of apartheid and its military occupation illegal. The World Court ordered Israel to completely end its military occupation of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.

Instead, Israel, while continuing to escalate its livestreamed genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza, has simultaneously increased its relentless violent attacks, mass arbitrary arrests and detentions, ethnic cleansing, severe restrictions on freedom of movement, and accelerated demolitions in the West Bank.

[BDS movement @BDSmovement]

What's happening in the occupied West Bank?

As Israel launches its most extensive invasion of the occupied West Bank since 2002, channel your rage, frustration, and grief into effective, strategic #BDS action and pressure to stop the aggression, end #GazaGenocide and to eventually help Palestinians dismantle Israel’s 76-year-old regime of settler-colonial apartheid, the root cause of this oppression and unspeakable violence.
