CAIRO - In the West Bank yesterday, hospital officials said an American activist struck in the head by a tear gas canister fired by Israeli troops was in serious condition after undergoing surgery.
If Obama does NOT STAND UP to ISRAEL on this one, then FUCK HIM!!!
Tristan Anderson, 38, of Oakland, Calif., was wounded Friday in the West Bank village of Naalin during a protest against Israel's separation barrier. Skull fragments and a portion of his right frontal lobe were removed during the surgery, according to a friend, Gabrielle Silverman. He also suffered major trauma to the bone surrounding his right eye, she said.
I just did a Google search and NOTHING from the WHITE HOUSE!!!

"Injured protester's parents visit him in Israel" by Diaa Hadid, Associated Press | March 24, 2009
JERUSALEM - The parents of an American man severely wounded by Israeli troops during a West Bank protest have asked Israeli police to launch an investigation, their lawyer said yesterday.
Tristan Anderson, 38, from Oakland, Calif., was struck in the head by a tear gas canister fired by members of Israel's paramilitary border police in the Palestinian village of Naalin on March 13.
Anderson had joined a protest against Israel's separation barrier, which cuts off Naalin from 300 acres of olive groves. In the past year, four Palestinians were killed in Naalin by Israeli troops quelling weekly stone-throwing protests against the barrier, according to Israeli human rights group B'tselem.
You know the old saying: Sticks and Stones Will Bounce Off Tanks, But Airstrikes Will Surely Kill You
The couple's lawyer, Michael Sfard, said he asked Israel's police to launch an investigation.
The Andersons, of Grass Valley, Calif., held back tears yesterday as they described their son's critical condition. "We don't know if he'll recover, and if he does, we don't know what abilities he will ever regain," his mother, Nancy, told reporters.
Here they are, folks:

How would you feel if OUR FRIEND Iz-ray-HELL did that to YOUR KID, Amurka?
Or what if they DID WORSE, huh?
And WHY is OBAMA SILENT!!!!?????
His father, Mike, said Israel must "take full responsibility for the shooting of our son."
Ha (with as much sarcasm as I can muster)!
Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said Anderson's injury was "an extremely regrettable result of rioting." The incident is under investigation, the Israeli military has said, though it is not clear if police will investigate separately.
You fired from a hill, you fuckers!!!! C'mon, Zionist MSM, tell the whole truth!
The Israeli military has said there was heavy stone-throwing and troops fired tear gas during the demonstration, though protesters said the stone-throwing was sporadic. Anderson did not throw any stones and was struck after he had returned to the village, witnesses said.
Activists say Israeli troops often use excessive force in dispersing West Bank protests. The Israeli military says stone-throwing poses a threat to troops. The military said troops used permitted means of riot dispersal.

Just wondering why the Globe doesn't report these things:
Israel's navy fires on Gaza shore; fisherman injured
Israeli troops shut down press conference with injured American's parents; beat activists
