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.
