JERUSALEM (AP) -- The United States has asked Israel to investigate an incident in which an American woman lost an eye after being shot by Israeli forces with a tear gas canister during a pro-Palestinian protest in Jerusalem, a U.S. diplomat said Monday.
Emily Henochowicz, a 21-year-old visual arts student from Maryland and a dual Israeli-American citizen, was struck in the face by a canister fired by an Israeli policeman during a violent demonstration against Israel's deadly naval raid on a Gaza-bound flotilla.

Self-loathing person of Jewish ancestry alert!
Its one of those things. Try and stay out from in front of riot police. If you find yourself in a crowd of rioters, try and leave immediately as cannisters of tear gas often soon follow.
If they are Palestinians you should exit even more quickly since they are begging God to smite them and you don’t want to be there when he does.
What was she doing playing around with the Palestinian Terrorists???
Because it’s all fun & games til someone loses an eye...
What is there to investigate?
You board a boat with terrorists, you resist inspection, you get injured.
She should be thanking IDF for sparing her miserable life. Very good chance to end up like Rachel Corrie.
The apology should all depend on which side of the street she was standing on.
If she was shouting at the Isreali’s, she shouldn’t get squat!
I wonder if she'll change her major.
Sorry I missed the part where it said she was not on a boat but rather in a demonstration. Same logic applies.
She supports terrorists. She hardly got what she deserved.
A visual arts student lost her eye in a violent anti-Israel demonstration?
Sounds like divine retribution to me.
The only thing worth investigating is why they were just using tear gas.
What recession?
Liberal College students have plenty of money to fly around the globe and protest for terrorists.
Meanwhile I can’t find a f**king job!
Lost an eye? Well thank god we have nationalized healthcare so you’ll one day see again. /sarc
Israel should be countering by asking the US to investigate what this stupid b!+ch was doing on a terrorist’s boat in the first place.
It sounds like she was in need of a good knock upside the head.
AS Ricky from Trailer Park Boys would say: “It’s a case of instant carmel....”
We shoot Nazis. Sometimes with tear gas, sometimes with artillery. But we shoot Nazis, and will continue to shoot Nazis until they either:
A) Stop being Nazis
B) We run out of ammo
Case closed.
Sincerely,
The IDF
