Time Now to Disarm a Soldier
She doesn't even know his name, the Israeli soldier who shot her, although she aims to find out. She has some questions for him.

Like, how could he have failed to notice her cameras, her massive lenses and her large backpack? And how could he mistake a 26-year-old, fair-skinned American woman for a rock-throwing Palestinian man? And what exactly was he thinking that Saturday afternoon on the outskirts of Bethlehem when he lifted his M-16, pointed the gun in her direction, placed his finger on the trigger and squeezed?

Yola Monakhov would like to know.
