Goes to Israel and gets the crap beat out of him at a protest. His family, whom appear to be very media savy, are delivering well honed message about the evil Israeli government and it oppression over the Palestinians. They go further to explain this clean cut boy would never throw rocks, Molotov cocktails or anything else. "He has never been bullied or been a bully. He didn't go to Israel to get gang banged like that." - said to wolf blitzer.
Does any if this scream bull**** to you? If you traveled to Israel at age 16 from a very pro Palestinian and anti Israel family why else would you be at a protest in which you get arrested? Maybe he didn't deserve the boot stomp but quit with the innocent American boy routine. He is anti Israel, participated in a protest that turned violent and things didn't go well for him. Not unpredictable at all.
And our press just eats it up. This isn't even a pro or anti Israel position. The dude participated in Russian roulette and lost.
