American Emily Henochowicz Loses Eye in Terror Flotilla Protest

Ms. Henochowicz, a burgeoning artist, lost an eye as Israeli military reportedly shot a tear gas canister at "Palestinian boys" throwing rocks. The canister apparently hit her in the eye. She was taken to a hospital and underwent surgery...

No doubt the Israeli IDF standing guard had some soldiers younger than Emily. Their lives are threatened each and every day, and not only their lives, but the lives of their families. They are not attending a summer-session school. ...

Does anyone care that Hamas, the PLO and Hezbollah have promised "Allah" to eliminate Israel? Has this young woman read these documents? If she doesn't believe in God, what does she think about Islam's Allah, which is the government and the religion, all wrapped-up in one not-so-tidy fatwa?

Oh sure it’s all fun and game until somebody loses....uh....never mind.

When you are throwing rocks, wear safety glasses...

[dfwgator]

I wonder if she and Mullah Omar see eye-to-eye on the destruction of Israel.

[rlmorel]

Maybe if she spent more time with her burgeoning art, and less time getting involved with budding terrorists, she might still have an eye.

Oh sure it’s all fun and game until somebody loses....uh....never mind.

And then it's absolutely freakin' hysterical!

[anonsquared]

Better yet if these types really want to help the situation, why don’t they place themselves as human shields between the Israelis and the incoming Hamas rockets.

What!? Was Rachel Corrie reincarnated? (Or is this just another stupid young liberal?)

Sh3e was trying to be like Rachel Corrie, and imitation is the sincerest form of flattening...I mean, flattery...

Good for her. . . ▲

As a Jew, I'm sure that Emily will get that "special treatment" that Muslims are famous for, when she's no longer of use.

There are none so blind as those that will not see, (proudly ripped off by NP).

[dfwgator]

Actually, she’s an atheist.

"An eye for an eye may make the whole world blind, but your still a dumbass, Emily."

[andy58-in-nh]

Actually, she’s an atheist.

I believe she's a "burgeoning" atheist.

[RightWingConspirator]

They should have used a D9 Cat on her!

[CanaGuy]

Are you like me? There is just something odd about a female "lapsed" Jew, from Maryland, who is a student at Cooper in NY, studying art at a Jewish school in Jerusalem, out on the street during a demonstration, suddenly on the receiving end of a tear-gas cannister. Does this add up to you? Reading the article doesn't help understand which side she was on, anyway, I don't understand it. We need more details.

Oh, well, when you put yourself in harm's way, you can expect the unexpected.

[Navy Patriot]

Actually, she’s an atheist.

A you tube video, self proclaimed atheist, who would get even "more special" treatment than a Jew by birth.

Sad, she gives up everything of value to be ignorantly and stupidly rebellious, a JAP that never matured beyond grade school tantrums that are all about her. Seduced by ego and emotion, and just beginning to pay the price.
