  • Speaking to reporters, Biden said the killing of 26-year-old human rights activist Aysenur Eygi—a recent graduate of the University of Washington—was “apparently an accident,” adding that the bullet that struck her in the head “ricocheted off the ground.”

    U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) denounced Biden’s statement as “unacceptable” and “outrageous.”

    “We cannot simply accept the IDF’s version that this was an ‘accident,’” said Jayapal. “We do not know that, it’s why we need an independent investigation. What accountability will there be when we keep supplying the weapons against our own laws?”

    Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, said in response to Biden’s remarks that “if you are an American, your president not only provides Israel with the bullets that Israel uses to kill you.”

    “Not only does he not object after Israel has killed you,” he continued. “Much worse, he even comes up with insulting excuses to exonerate Israel for murdering you.”

    The U.S. president’s comments mirrored a statement issued earlier Tuesday by the IDF, which said its internal inquiry “found that it is highly likely” that Eygi “was hit indirectly and unintentionally by IDF fire which was not aimed at her” but at another demonstrator whom the Israeli military described as “the key instigator” of a “riot.”

    He’ll just tap me on the face for the most part if I’m sleeping and breathe his gross cat breath in my face lol…or squeak his paws on the bedroom door mounding. Like nails on a chalkboard which he is fully aware of. This guy is very reserved but articulate when it comes to vocalizing. With the exception that every unexpected pat/(pet) is met with a “murraahh!” 11 years on & it still makes me chuckle
