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.

When a crowd is ordered to disperse, you take your chances in the resulting melee when you reject that order.

Bummer. Bet she wishes she’d done the intern gig at Yellowstone for the summer instead now.

It’s real funny until someone loses an eye. Oh, never mind.

I have no time for those who stand against US or our allies whether or not they claim American citizenship.

The media called the tea parties “violent extremists gathering to spout hate in the streets”.

But this group of terrorists and useful idiots are “concerned protesters”.

Her glass eye will come in handy when she needs ammo for her slingshot.

I think everyone should have something they are willing to die for. God, family, country?

I’m just sorry for what she chose to risk it for.
Maybe she’ll get another chance to get it done.

When the cops are loading the tear gas canisters, it's time to leave the demonstration. You've made your point.
