The recent killing of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a 26-year-old American-Turkish activist in the occupied West Bank, has once again highlighted the issue of Israeli soldiers targeting civilians. Despite international outrage and calls for justice, investigations into such incidents rarely lead to prosecutions. The Israeli military has promised to investigate the killing, but critics argue that these internal probes often do not result in any accountability.
The lack of consequences for such actions raises questions about how to break this cycle of violence and who will hold Israel accountable for these human rights violations. To discuss this pressing issue, James Bays hosts a panel featuring Miko Peled, founder and president of Palestine House of Freedom, a rights organization; Daniel Santiago, an American peace activist who was shot by the Israeli military while demonstrating in Beita; and Amir Oren, a columnist at Haaretz newspaper specializing in military and government affairs.
The conversation delves into the challenges of seeking justice for victims of Israeli military violence and the need for accountability to prevent future attacks on civilians. The guests provide insight into the complexities of the situation and offer possible solutions to ensure that those responsible for such acts are held responsible. As the investigation into Aysenur Ezgi Eygi’s killing unfolds, the international community watches closely, hoping for a different outcome than the usual lack of accountability for Israeli soldiers’ actions against civilians.
