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.

Apparently she’s an artist, too.

Hint for aspiring artists: Never get involved in a protest in someone else’s country. You might just lose your depth perception.

I'd hit it.

Yeah, but only if you approached from her left side.

“I’d hit it.”

I would, too. With another round.

LOL! I was thinking that a 40mm CS grenade would fit nicely in the mouth of the Pallywood actor holding the wounded, dumb, tart.

Being a pirate is all fun and games,
Till somebody loses an eye;
It stings like the blazes, it makes you pull faces,
You can’t let your mates see you cry.
A dashing black patch will cover the hatch,
And make sure that the socket stays dry;
Being a pirate is all fun and games,
Till somebody loses an eye.

From: “You Can’t be a Pirate” by Don Freed

Sorry she was maimed, she was playing big-girl games and some choices can have bad results.

Oh well, she could get a one-eye veil, favored by some muslim clerics.

I feel more sorrow for the 3 Americans held prisoners in Iran but they made bad choices as well.

This girl is at least coming home, thanks to Israel. Iran isn’t so kind....

I guess she just didn’t see eye to eye with Israel.

From your pix link:

“Henochowicz was hit in the face by a tear gas canister shot by an Israeli border policeman, said witness Jonathan Pollak.”

I guess that would be this cat:

Maybe she can be a liaison for the blind sheik incarcerated for the 93 WTC bombing.
