"Emily Henochowicz returned on Saturday night to her home in Potomac, Maryland, where she is recovering after losing an eye at a protest at the Qalandiyah checkpoint - she was struck by a teargas grenade.

Henochowicz is Jewish, and her father, who is currently a doctor in the United States after having lived in Israel, is the son of Holocaust survivors. The family has visited Israel in the past.

"Her mood ranges from optimistic to sad," Henochowicz's mother Shelly Kreitman told Haaretz. "We want to make clear that she has not stopped loving Israel because of what happened. She said that this should not be an excuse for people to be anti-Semitic or anti-Zionist."
