In a particularly disturbing tweet, especially for a U.S. elected official, Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.), a Jewish man, celebrated the killing of an American citizen by Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in the occupied West Bank.
Before calling for even more death in the Middle East, Rep. Fine equated the American citizen, 26-year-old Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, to a Muslim terrorist before calling on the Israeli military to "fire away" on even more civilians.
"Throw rocks, get shot," Rep. Fine wrote, thinking himself to be clever. "One less #MuslimTerror ist. #FireAway," he continued, failing to properly write the #MuslimTerrorist hashtag.
According to reports, Eygi, a young woman from Turkey who holds U.S. citizenship, was shot to death by the Israeli army in the West Bank. The woman had "joined a mob of locals and foreign activists that was pelting Israeli soldiers with rocks," so IDF shot her to death in return.
The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported after the attack that a Jewish witness who saw the whole thing happen confirmed that Eygi had not done anything whatsoever to warrant being shot to death by IDF.
(Related: Did you know that far more Christians have been martyred over the years than Jews who died in Nazi concentration camps, and yet the history books never speak about the genocide of Christians?)
Rep. Fine's X account suspended for mere hours as punishment
After many X users reported Rep. Fine's tweet for celebrating murder, Elon Musk's team temporarily suspended his account for a few hours before fully restoring it.
"The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated," Rep. Fine joked on X in response to the pathetic "punishment," which he blamed on a "bug."
"@X apparently has a bug that allows #MuslimTerror ists to overwhelm its system with spam complaints which automatically suspend an account after a certain number," Rep. Fine further complained.
"I was targeted overnight by several of these pro-Hamas accounts. It was down for a couple hours; I appreciate them fixing it. I will be working with them to ensure adequate protection to ensure these Muslim terrorists can't misuse the system."
In other words, Rep. Fine is planning to influence Musk and his employees to remove the flagging option entirely, at least from his own personal account, so he is free to post whatever he wants without fear of being punished for violating "Community Guidelines."
Following Eygi's death, her family called on the Biden regime to launch an independent investigation into her murder.
"Her presence in our lives was taken needlessly, unlawfully, and violently by the Israeli military," Eygi's family said in a statement. "A U.S. citizen, Aysenur was peacefully standing for justice when she was killed by a bullet that video shows came from an Israeli military shooter."
"We call on President [Joe] Biden, Vice-President [Kamala] Harris, and Secretary of State [Antony] Blinken to order an independent investigation into the unlawful killing of a U.S. citizen and to ensure full accountability for the guilty parties."
According to IDF, it merely "responded with fire toward a main instigator of violent activity who hurled rocks at the forces and posed a threat to them."
Eygi was a member of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), a pro-Palestinian organization that was in Beita the day of Eygi's death for a weekly demonstration against Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
ISM says Israel's claims about Eygi and the other protesters hurling rocks at Israeli soldiers is "false," and that the entire demonstration was "peaceful."
"Aysenur was more than 200 meters away from where the Israeli soldiers were and there were no confrontations there at all in the minutes before she was shot," ISM said.
