If it were a peaceful protest I'm sure it wouldn't have come to this. She's got two eyes one good one left. Well hopefully it's the right eye so she'll wake up.

I don't know. It's illogical to continue claiming that Israel is never ever at fault for anything.

Perhaps it has something to do with the fundie religious freaks and their Bible..

She was in Israel on a student visa. She chose to be part of the demonstration at Qalandiya checkpoint. She was not a simple observer. She was a guest but decided not to act as one and thus will now have to live with the ramifications of her choice. This is not a fault issue, just a being in wrong place at wrong time. As the enclosed link shows she was standing amongst rock throwers and shows the canisters landing amonst them.

I thought they were bringing aid to innocent civilians. Who are the innocents that the Muslims were killing?

What happened to the protester is very unfortunate. I wouldn't go as far as to speculate that she got what she deserved, however. Where would any oppressed group behind the 8-ball of evil be if the courageous among us did not take up their cause and take to the streets in protest? Should we all just turn a blind eye... ... to injustice and atrocity because we are ordered to by some authority? I for one am happy that some do not.
