Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi’s husband and sister sat down with Prem to talk about their frustrating meeting with the secretary of state and to reflect on the 26-year-old’s memory.
Bloody Blinken, the Butcher of Gaza, has been nothing short of abominable in his job as Secretary of State. And we all know who he really reports to - NeoNazi Benjamin Netanyahu. Can’t wait for this war criminal to be run out of Washington!
True, but I can still call out Blinken for being an Israeli agent. Once his neocon successor Marco Rubio is running DOS, I’ll be sure to criticize/condemn him too. How does that sound?
How is it that Netanyahu bears zero responsibility for the destruction of Gaza? Last time I looked he was in charge of Israel's government and military, not Biden and not Blinken. When did the US Secretary of State become head of the Israel Defense Forces? Do you REALLY think the US not shipping arms to Israel would have stopped Netanyahu from destroying Gaza or from procuring weapons from other countries?
Yes I do. Without a doubt, our government could have stopped the genocide by suspending all arms/ammunition shipments/military aid to Israel so Biden, Blinken, and Austin are 💯 percent complicit/culpable in Israel’s gruesome genocide against the Palestinian people. And Netanyahu is obviously a genocidal maniac/shameless war criminal which means I’m also waiting to see him sitting in the dock at the ICC.
I disagree. Nothing was going to stop Netanyahu from carring out his plans. Netanyahu and his ministers are the ones that should be charged with genocide. When someone is murdered, the company that made and sold the ammo is not responsible or charged, it's the person that loaded the weapon and pulled the trigger that is held accountable.
Sorry to break this to you, but aiding and abetting genocide is actually a crime under U.S federal law (War Crimes Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2441 (a) and (b)) and international law (Rome Genocide Convention).
Regarding whether gun manufacturers can be held liable for mass murders committed with their firearms/lethal weapons, see:
Sorry to break it to you, but the US War Crimes Act applies to acts that occur within the US or if the offender is a US national. In this case the act occurred in Israel and the offender is Netanyahu. Second, the US is not a member of the ICC so there is no jurisdiction. Lastly, the Sandy Hook families won against Remington on the basis of their MARKETING CAMPAIGN being predatory, not the act of using the weapon that resulted in the deaths of the students and staff.
Though not unexpected given the massive failures of this administration and the Secretary in particular to continue allowing the genocide in Gaza, it is nonetheless dreadful, dishonest and disgusting to ignore the pleas from families, for justice by demanding an end to this illegal war. How can they fail to see that this gives credence to their politicizing the death of an American citizen? Blinken is a coward of the first rank. Dissembling is second nature to him; he lies and needs to be held accountable.
Abe Lincoln replied when asked about his stance on Slavery, which forced the Constitution to be “practically to be read as “all men are created equal,except negroes”, and were it to extend to differences among whites, “When things came to this pass, “ I should prefer emmigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty-to Russia,for instance, where depotism can be taken pure, And without the base alloy of hypocrisy.’ Seems like The US is comfortable with being despotic AND hypocritical, unlike the plain spoken Trumpian future policy toward Gaza. So, better now to recognize as Lincoln did, our attempt to both watch despotism’s horror even as we help create it, is a failure of the
One more example that the IDF can murder whomever they want - Americans, American sailors, etc. with impunity and then take years to investigate themselves before finding themselves innocent or justified. Yet Hamas, etc. don’t have the privilege of investigating themselves. Anyone from anywhere is a legitimate target in the eyes of Biden and Blinken, and to say otherwise is “antisemitism.”
A very thoughtful and compassionate interview. I'm amazed at how articulate her husband and sister could be in their time of profound grief. They are harnessing their anger at Blinken's absence of caring and responsibility in such a productive way. I have great respect and admiration for them, am so sorry for what they are going through, and wish them healing and peace of mind. Once again, such a great post from Prem.
You framing this as whether or not to hate Jews is wrong and misguided. Zionists, Israeli Jewish Zionists. And Zionists abroad. Those are the issue and harm, not Jewish ppl or the Jewish faith, that's just a religion. Like alllll the rest. ZIONIST is a jew that's conditioned to believe that he's God's gift to earth, and the rest are their servants, and their living is conditioned on knowing that the Jewish persons are the guiding light.... To hell
Blinkin is a Dual Citizen Zionist Israeli Stooge whose job is to block the Truth and pretend. Disgusting Psychotic! And a sniveling Coward as Monique noted so well.
One thing i have definitely learned in these 2 years is that Satan indeed exist. I wasnt sure before but now i am... you are only worth in this world if u have the right skin colour, religion and much money...
Please don't fool yourselves. Blinken is as evil as they come, and he is not passive; he is, however, extremely vicious and very Zionist. He is behind much of the extermination of Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians, Houthis, and every other Mid-East nation that doesn't cow tow to American imperialism and oppression. He is the true butcher of Palestine.
I hope what Chris said is also true about Biden, Blinken, and others responsible for her murder. May their conscience come back alive after it was presumed dead.
Blinkin should be charged with genocide along with the buthcher
This just smacks of white supremacy and them not giving a damn about people that they can’t control and manipulate. Those bastards.
Beautiful gentle interview. My thoughts go to all her family and friends.
Bloody Blinken, the Butcher of Gaza, has been nothing short of abominable in his job as Secretary of State. And we all know who he really reports to - NeoNazi Benjamin Netanyahu. Can’t wait for this war criminal to be run out of Washington!
And then what? He's about to be replaced by somebody Much worse.

Absolutely 100% this genocide could not be happening without US weapons and political cover including multiple UN security council resolution vetoes.

Not just this administration. Rachel Corrie was murdered more than 20 years ago and the family is still waiting for justice. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/rachel-corrie-death-parents-gaza-idf-b2303078.html
Well, good job America. You elected somebody who will be much, much worse on this issue.

Thank you, Prem, for your always excellent and compassionate reporting.

I really hate being near tears for over twenty minutes. Nonetheless, I'm so glad the three of you made this video.
Ayşenur was a blessing to the world.
I've known too many humane, decent Jews to hate them. But, I've come to detest Bibi, and his lap dogs -- Biden and Blinken.

I nominated Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi for the Alumnus Summa Laude Dignatus Award (ASLD) given by the University of Washington.
Her positive impact upon societies throughout the whole world is undeniable.

Hard to come up with the words
We all know Anthony Blinken works for Israel.
