We don’t know what she was doing in Jerusalem. She could have been an activist fomenting trouble, or she could have been a tourist, or on a break from volunteering at a kibbutz.

You might be right but this was the caption under the video.

"A Palestinian woman reacts as she holds a cloth to the bleeding face of an American activist who was wounded during clashes with Israeli troops between Ramallah and Jerusalem, Monday, May 31st, 2010."

Thanks, Slim. Don’t mind being wrong on this.

No indeed, be well FRiend.

“Protest” here means “riot”.

She is NOT an American. Her citizenship should have been revoked the moment she found common cause with America’s enemies.

Ah, so many new fashion options available...

I know that I should feel sympathy for her, but stupidity should never go unrewarded.

I rather assume she’s an activist, but usually first reports about any ‘incidents’ are, at best, unreliable.. especially with AP. If she IS an activist we will learn more as they develop the sympathy angle. The parents will come forward with outrage against the Israelis, etc. If perchance she was not an activist, we will hear no more.

I don’t shock easily and just the thumbnails were enough for me to say...what the HELL? No life indeed.
