Cry, my beloved country, this amazing photo of the shooting of Emily Henochowicz, 21, a Cooper Union art student demonstrating against Israel’s flotilla raid on Monday, is at the Baltimore Sun site (she’s from Maryland). It was taken by Majdi Mohammed of AP. More photos of Henochowicz, I’m afraid very graphic, at ISM site. Henochowicz lost her left eye and had to have reconstructive surgery on her face, in Israel.
No news at the Cooper site, though they did issue a statement we picked up Tuesday.
Note the grim surroundings of the Qalandiya checkpoint, this is the eastern side of the checkpoint. Oh and it has been reported that Henochowicz is Jewish.
She is an artist. Here is her youtube page, check out Walkers and a frontier, and the flipbook. Wow. What was such a young and gifted American artist doing at Qalandiya checkpoint? We’re pulling for you, Emily.
