US girl shot in face by Israeli's loses eye...

This is Emily Henochowicz, she is a 21 year old American
college student who was peacefully protesting Israel's
brutal assault on the humanitarian flotilla, at a checkpoint
on the East Bank yesterday, when Israeli IDF forces shot her
in the face with with a tear gas cannister - causing the loss
of her eye.



A witness, Sören Johanssen, says Israeli soldiers
intentionally fired at her face.

Emily was involved in a peaceful protest. Neither she, or
her fellow protesters were engaging in violence, nor were
they armed.

Sadly, this brings back memories of another young American
girl, Rachel Corrie.

This is Rachel Corrie...



Rachel Corrie was peacefully protesting the Israeli bulldozing
of Palestinian homes. Rachel stood in the path of an Israeli
bulldozer protecting a Palestinian home. The Israeli's deliberately
ran over Rachel, crushing both of her arms, legs and fracturing
her skull - killing her.

And this is the humanitarian aid ship named in her honor. The
"Rachel Corrie" set sail from Malta yesterday and is on it's
way with humanitarian aid for the Palestinians.



As the Israel lobby delivers it's talking points 24 x 7 all
across the "monopoly owned" mainstream press, remember Emily,
remember Rachel, and know the truth.



"I know your works, and tribulation, and poverty,
but you are rich (in spirit) and I know the blasphemy
of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are
the Synagogue of Satan."

-- Revelation 2:9
