Always salutary when someone has their own Rachel Corry moment.

At least someone had the nads to put their body where their mouth was. I'm in Tel Aviv preparing for my fifth week of service in the IDF. Come on over to your preferred side, and let's get it on!

Didn’t college teach her that such “protests” might lead to death? Too bad...so sad.

A nominal American citizen named Aysenur Ezgi Eygi goes to a foreign conflict zone and gets killed demonstrating on the Palestinian side. Am I supposed to be concerned?

From Friday night (Shabbat):

At the Wall tonight, we became part of a large (60?) group of soldiers that were just finishing up their fourth month of training. Spanking new uniforms. Southern command. Knew they were going into gaza soon. Ran 25 kilometers yesterday in full battle rattle, last 5 clicks carrying a stretcher with additional full body weight.

We chatted them up about our service generally and what we have been doing at Hatzerim Air Base building lunches in boxes particularly. When they heard about the boxes, they said:

“We have had them! With the tuna, little pots of honey “ they were thrilled to meet us knowing we were the guys feeding them. They loved the boxes, “they saved the day, so much energy in them after our hike.”

Then, they were called to form a group circle for singing and dancing. They invited us to join, and we swayed with them while they sang in Hebrew. Fresh faced young 18 year olds who were exhausted from the previous day and had not yet seen battle.

He saw the flares leave the nozzle of the gun when the shots rang out.

Gotta love that TV-station writing.

“A nominal American citizen named Aysenur Ezgi Eygi goes to a foreign conflict zone and gets killed demonstrating on the Palestinian side. Am I supposed to be concerned?”

I sold over fifty articles, most to the local newspaper. In talking to the editor, I learned to make everything personal and relatable to the reader. I remember a spoof newspaper headline that exemplified this: in forty point type the lead read: “Vacation of local woman ruined!” In twenty point type the second lead read: “Japan sinks under sea.” Then you have to find some emotional connection. I found the article nauseating but noticed phrases like, “deeply curious.” I pictured a wide-eyed little kid, the huge eyes like in those exaggerated paintings of puppies. Then there were those little details, “recent graduate” and the background points intended to convey a potentially fabulous life wasted.

If you really can’t tell what the author is trying to convey, count the adverbs...those descriptive modifiers ending in “ly.” If the writer has something to say and that something doesn’t need the reader to be bent one way or another you won’t find many “ly” modifiers. If he’s trying to tweak your emotions start counting the “ly” words.

Once you realize where the writer is coming from, take note and skip everything from him or his publisher. (Another useful tip from your uncle Larry.)

"This has been happening to Palestinians for decades. This happened because of the impunity which the Israelis act with,”

Oh, so it was really Israelis who attacked Palistinians at the festival and decapitated babies and raped men, women and children before and after killing them. Got'cha. Notice in one sentence she was praying but in another she was demonstrating so which is it? Yeah, we've seen those not so "peaceful" protests in the US.

UW Professor Aria Fani told KOMO News... "She had smiling eyes that just recognized the humanity of whoever she spoke with" ... UW President Ana Mari Cauce... said this was the second time in the past year a member of the UW community had been killed in the region. UW alum Dr. Hayim Katsman, 32, was killed by Hamas militants in Israel during the surprise attacks. Katsman’s mother told KOMO News her son had received his Ph.D. from the University of Washington’s Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies in 2021. "I again join with our government and so many who are working and calling for a ceasefire and resolution to the crisis,| Cauce said in a statement... Eygi was also a Turkish citizen, Turkish Foreign Ministry spokesman Oncu Keceli said, adding that the country would exert "all effort to ensure that those who killed our citizen is brought to justice."
Must be that Katsman didn't have smiling eyes or much matter to the UW or Pramila Jayapal.

Yep, according to the enemedia stylebook, Jooze do not deserve sympathy unless they are fighting for the other team like a Soros or a Rosenberg.

Radical anti-Western culture “prayer meeting” .. .. .. concludes by throwing hand grenades (er, rocks) at Israeli soldiers nearby. “Cheerful eyed” radical Islamic terrorist foreign enabler is shot during riot.
