An American woman lost her eye yesterday during a demonstration in Jerusalem against Israel's naval raid on a Gaza aid flotilla. Maryland college student Emily Henochowicz, 21, was hit in the face by a tear gas canister shot by an Israeli border policeman and underwent surgery in a local hospital, where she is now recuperating.

This is the hazard one takes when one participates in rallies where they tend to turn violent and to break them up the police need to use teargas. Sorry about her eye but it is the risk you take with the crowd she runs with.

This reminds me of when the Marxists used young useful idiots as cannon fodder during the Viet Nam protests against the US government. Think about how it worked against the US during that time. Israel is screwed.

“an eye for an eye?”

In this case, it was a tear gas canister for an eye.

How stupid was she to be on the deck when the Israeli Seals came?

Now I'm picturing seals with yamulkes and sidelocks.

As I recall, the woman in Boston was merely someone who’d attended the game, she wasn’t there to cause trouble. We don’t know if the woman in this story was an unfortunate spectator caught up in the violence, or an ‘activist’ fomenting it.

Please, the people on that ship were there to cause as much trouble for Israel as possible. There were no ‘ unfortunate spectators”.
Good Lord, spectator, right, who just happened to be on the top deck as the Israeli helo dropped the commnados and who was just “ spectating”
