Mr. President, Bullet Ricochet killed US- Turkish activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, seriously?

 

Mr. President, Israeli expert conclusion communicated to you and vouched for by you, did not jell, so used the net for some searches. Here are some of my thoughts and doubts based on information available online.

a) The shooter was standing at a roof top, at a greater height than the victim standing at ground level in the open space. Hence, the shooter had far better vision than the individuals at ground level and so could clearly see his target or targets.

b) According to available information, Israeli forces use IWI Tavor assault rifle or micro Tavor rifles both tested for urban warfare and also tested for use in Palestine. Its accuracy has been vouched for by Israeli forces themselves. The other option could be MS 95R Sniper Rifle.

The range for Tavor rifles is 500 meters and for sniper rifle it is 1000 meters. Both have sight magnifier and so whether purely by human sight or along with magnifier the soldier should have no problem in having a clear view of his/her targets.

c) With regard to death or injury by Bullet Ricochet the literature search indicates this is rare and when it happens it is often the shooter who is at risk as it often deflects straight back at the shooter, after hitting a metal or soft material.

d) There are videos that look at different angles of risk for ricochet bullet and scope for injury.

e) Experiments conducted indicate whether the bullet hits metal or soft material, the deflection is at slightly above ground level or with some deviation. None of these indicate scope for ricochet bullet to deflect and travel at a height as to hit the victim on the head, and at the time of shooting the victim was standing. This is according to eyewitness, but they did speak of a previous shot hitting a metal and the ricochet bullet hit a man on his leg.

Mr. President it is difficult to understand how the Israel Army’s arrived at the conclusion that ricochet bullet killed the US-Turkish activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, as she stood out in the open.  


Biden says Israeli killing of US-Turkish activist Aysenur appears to be 'accident'

Living in the Margins

 Molly Charles (1) Margin, a term familiar from tender age; notebooks with clear cut margins to delineate the main body of text, define it. The margins give it definite shape, a practice that continues into the virtual world. Among humans, it is these margins that give identity to the large majority we term normal. The often, porous boundaries offer a chance for individuals to slip through and slip back into either ‘normal’ or ‘marginal’ spaces. The decision to identify with marginal groups or positions can be a conscious one as with (gender identity, drug use), enforced as in (mental health, racial and caste based discrimination) and accidental for (drug use, stigmatized diseases). In certain instances, as with mental health, some individuals may find their being part of marginal groups a permanent reality, in most other instances individuals do move in and out of marginal groups, as a survival strategy to deal with marginalization. Even when physical spaces merge, with an emph...

Peace, Security & Fourth Industry, Technology—impact on Us and Our Becoming

                                                                                                                                                   Peace is something everyone can sense, and yet, find difficult to define. Its complexity, and simplicity is reflected in our restricted definition of peace as an absence of war/violence, even though we sense it is far beyond that.    Peace is a concept that exists beyond the boundaries of empirical reality, but we seek it within the realms of empirical reality, where power has the final say. We conceive it as a static state, where a world view palatable to u...

Drugs, Altered States of Consciousness & Us - Implications for Drug Policy

                                                             C enturies have gone by and yet we struggle in our waltz with Mind Altering Substances (MAS), our steps still falter and a probable safe distance evades our grasp. The yesteryears centered around finding mind altering substances in nature, from far and near; now we hone our skills in identifying the right chemicals or the means of manipulating molecular formations for creating MAS within kitchen labs or in the pharmaceutical industry. The presence of numerous substances to choose from has apparently not satiated user demand nor dampened the passion of enforcement agencies to exterminate the 'enemy'. There is an ever widening gap in the perception of MAS by users, numerous sub groups within the larger society, inclusive of enforcers of the Law. Users who adhere to cul...
