Protesting in an active war zone among warring armed combatants may not be the brightest strategy. Not like a tent on a college campus with cops told to stand down. Not at all.

At best the protester could be snatched up to be a human shield by the Hamas side. Part of their ongoing strategy.

Turkish woman with US passport, goes to Nablus in West Bank, while working with a community organizing NGO called “International Solidarity Movement,” which sends people to the West Bank, for “direct action,” which has no address, and a website in English only, based in Maryland.

Smells like a State Dept or CIA cut-out.

>>Jonathan Pollak, an Israeli activist who was at the same protest as Ms Eygi.

She’s not the first one to die at one of Pollack’s protests. He seems to like getting other people killed for the publicity.

It’s not completely clear who killed her. Like the idiot Rachel Corrie she was worth more to the “Palestinians” dead than alive.

Rachel Corrie died in a Palestinian hospital after suffering a bloody nose after tumbling into the blade of an IDF bulldozer. She was never run over, and IDF medics offered her first aid at the scene. If she had accepted she would probably be alive today. Instead, her associates took her to a Palestinian hospital where she became a propaganda poster for Palestine.

The Arab Occuption of Judea and Samaria and has to be brought to and end. There’s too much terrorist violence and attacks against innocent people from that evil situation.

And Israel needs to keep
out foreign agitators, provocateurs, and enemy agents.

Thanks for the details.

Truth is the first casualty of a war.

Lord Kitchener asked Marshall Foch how many troops he would need to be seen as a serious commitment to the War in France in 1914. Foch answered, “One, and I personally will see that he is killed.” Any young American woman who places her life in the hands of these savages should understand she is worth vastly more to them dead than alive. And dead can be arranged.

There was an interesting website, which I have had trouble finding again, that had before and after photographs of Rachel Corrie. Immediately after her encounter with the bulldozer, she was awake and alert, her only apparent injury a bloody nose. No facial lacerations, no apparent other injuries. The Palestinian post-mortem photographs have huge Frankenstein stitches running diagonally across her face, suturing a huge facial laceration. It’s total propaganda.

She was perched on a rubble pile near where the bulldozer was operating, lost her balance and tumbled into the blade, incurring a “fatal” bloody nose.

Yep, just think of all the little future terrorist she won’t give birth to.
