Eygi was not a "human rights activist", because the organization she was a member of is not a human rights organization.
Eygi came here as part of the activities of the 'International Solidarity Movement' (hereinafter ISM). The ISM organization claims that it advocates "non-violent resistance", but the exact opposite is true.
Over the past 20 years, the organization and its members have published messages of support for actions such as violent riots on the border fence in Gaza; Throwing stones and shooting attacks against Israeli civilians; and recognition of the Palestinians' right to "resist in any way they choose", including the indiscriminate killing of Israelis in suicide attacks.

A report by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the incident stated that:
ISM members take an active part in illegal and violent actions against IDF soldiers. Sometimes, their activities are done under the auspices of Palestinian terrorist organizations.
It is no wonder that the founder of the organization, Huwaida Arraf, spent the Seventh in October in a series of enthusiastic tweets supporting the massacre committed by Hamas.
It only matters what the Turks think. If they want to use this as an excuse for cutting oil supplies to Israel then that's up to them.
And Adnan Khashoggi was not just a journalist, but that hardly mattered to the people who used his death for propaganda purposes. Why would this case be any different?
Adnan Khashoggi was used powerfully because of LIBERAL WaPo - and the money —Jeff Bezos— behind WaPo.
