JERUSALEM (Map, News) - An American demonstrator was critically wounded Friday in a clash between protesters and Israeli troops over Israel's West Bank separation barrier.
Peace activists with the International Solidarity Movement said Tristan Anderson, of the Oakland, Calif., area, was struck in the head with a tear gas canister fired by Israeli troops. The military and the Tel Aviv hospital where Anderson was taken had no details on how he was hurt.
"He's in critical condition, anesthetized and on a ventilator and undergoing imaging tests," said Orly Levi, a spokeswoman at the Tel Hashomer hospital. She described Anderson's condition as "life-threatening."
The protest took place in the West Bank town of Naalin, where Palestinians and international backers frequently gather to demonstrate against the barrier. Israel says the barrier is necessary to keep Palestinian attackers from infiltrating into Israel. But Palestinians view it as a thinly veiled land grab because it juts into the West Bank at multiple points.

Who is Tristan Anderson? A nobody. Just another uninformed, brainwashed, more-money-than-brains, Lefty agenda cannon fodder. Funny how they go to a war zone and don’t expect to be in the action.

Being named Tristan tells me he might come from a long line of idiots.
Um, he was hurt by being hit in the head with a tear gas cannister. Duh!
Someone should make sure they all read and understand the red sticker on the book.
What brain? It was probably fecal matter. They were looking in the wrong hole!

LOL
When a riot is going on and you are told to disburse and tear gas cannisters are being launched, you have put yourself into a dangerous situation. This is what it means to be a human shield.

What a Dufus!....I hope he threw his back out!
At least he didn’t get hit in the head by a Cat D-9. That’d hurt worse.
Putting yourself between rock-throwing Palestinians and heavily armed IDF soldiers is a really bad idea, kids. The IDF doesn’t muck around when it comes to security...they’ve learned that the hard way. I wonder if the Palestinians these ISM people were with were provoking the Israeli troops by rock-throwing, as they seem to be prone to do.

Good point. These are pro-annihilation-of-Israel activists, if anything.
For all you DU fools that read these forums, read this, and read it damn clear: If Rachel Corrie was back today, I’d be first in line to run her over with a bulldozer again. I’D BE FIRST IN LINE.
