After the tragic death of Hersh Goldberg-Polin, you (President Biden), on August 31, condemned the murder of this dual citizen of Israel and the United States and went on to say “Make no mistake, Hamas leaders will pay for these crimes.”

On Friday, August 6, “A US-Turkish dual citizen [a native of Seattle] was shot dead by Israeli forces while peacefully protesting against Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank. Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi, 26, was shot in the head, according to Turkish authorities, and died after being taken to a Palestinian hospital.”

Will you (and Vice-President Harris) mourn for her as you did for Hersh Goldberg-Polin? And will you also follow up with similar threatening words against the perpetrators of this crime, “Make no mistake, Israeli leaders will pay for this crime?”

I assume that you and Vice-President Harris have meant it when you have said in the past that you represent all Americans!
