Just So Sad

 The Palestinian-American journalist, Shireen Abu Akleh was shot in the head by the IDF on May 11, 2022, while covering a raid by the Israel Defense Forces at the Jenin refugee camp.

The University of Washington graduate and 26-year-old Seattle resident, Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi was shot in the head by the IDF on September 5, 2024, while attending a protest of the IDF's genocide of Palestinians.

The New York Times Magazine recently published an article by Ronen Bergman and Mark Mazzetti that delves into the rise of extremist Israeli settlers and their impact on Israeli politics. The article, titled “50 Years of Crime Without Punishment,” explores how a history of unpunished violence in the West Bank has allowed extremist settlers to gain significant political power, weakening Israel’s democracy.

The IDF said the Eygi bullet bounced up off the ground.

And hit her in the head.

Imagine that.

Jews used to write better fiction.
