Re: Pro-Israeli activist dies after entering empty elevator shaft.

Learning Arabic? Vegetarian? Gay?

Sounds like he outlived his usefullness, and when his opinions may have been changing, he crossed someone or a few people actually in power and they knew he could be a liability as much as an asset, yet he kept to his opinions instead of falling in line with the program.  I've met a number of activists who fit this description of having a loud opinionated internal motivation, and while they have some knowledge, memorized from reading or direct experience, there is some aspect of their character which is severly under-developed, and in this, they are very stupid.  I am going to guess this potentional aspect about his make-up was a vulnerability.

Pushing people out of high windows is not uncommon, and their M.O.  Getting a person to fall into an elevator shaft isn't so different.
There was a well-known Palestinian professor who was killed because he united both Israelis and Palestinians. This is another M.O., killing people who bring together, or could bring together, humanity.

The guy was integrating his love of Israel with a growing knowledge of the Arabic language and culture.

One can imagine, as he may have matured out of a false radical culture, he could have been seen as perhaps a powerful force, considering his energy, to counter the highly race and apartheid actions of the leadership.  He could have been discovering information in Arabic, coming to believe his actual feelings were projected support of his personal perception of Jewish culture, onto support of the criminal Israeli state.  It might be difficult for a reader not already knowing people like this, to assure whether he was a knowing tool, like portrates of Obama; or, as I suggest, how much internally like what their public profile suggests, bizarre as it may seem.  Either way, I find either type to be failures at being human beings.

His shirt says, "I (heart) the Zionist Entity".

Thanks for publishing the article Nierika.

What I don't get is, why is this news?

A man falls in to the elevator shaft and dies, okay why does his support of israel is something to look at? Unless they are trying to pin it on Arabs and say "oh its a terrorist attack"!!!....Also saying he is fit and agile doesn't really match the picture which shows that he is chubby.

Anyway he might have fallen in their because he couldn't see it, accidents do happen, bad eye sight combined with poor light could lead to that. Just what  does it have to do with his political views and him being insiginficant in terms of politics i.e. (not a senator, not in the ADL, not in AIPAC)....it just doesn't make sense.

You don't get it because you are not a mensch.  Your goysiher view of the world makes you unable to see the superior value inherent in the life of any Jew and the importance of the death of any Jew over normal 'goy' news.
