On Tuesday, June 1, Jewish-American student Emily Henochowicz, 21, lost her left eye when an Israeli soldier fired a teargas canister at her as she protested the raid of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla. Below is some of Emily’s art from her blog. If any other army on Earth did this, the White House and all the news media would be decrying it and asking for accountability, but Israel is sacrosanct even when its government sheds American blood. “Henochowicz is the second American in so many years to be critically injured while protesting in Israel. California-born Tristan Anderson, 38, sustained permanent brain injury after he was shot in the head by a high velocity teargas canister fired by Israeli forces on March 13, 2009. Despite Anderson sustaining severe injury at a civilian demonstration, the Israeli Ministry of Defense declared the incident ‘an act of war’ and denied liability for damages -- including over seven months of hospitalization and intensive reconstructive surgery to Anderson's skull.” In 2003, American student Rachel Corrie, 23, was deliberately crushed to death by an Israeli bulldozer. The bulldozer driver “ran over her, and then reversed and ran over her again."
