Jewish Student Killed in Egypt

Why on earth would a Jewish student go to Egypt to teach English-especially now-but really ever? 

The family statement read:

"He went to Egypt because he cared profoundly about the Middle East, and he planned to live and work there in the pursuit of peace and understanding." 

"Pochter was looking forward to beginning his junior year at Ohio's Kenyon College and had planned to study abroad in Jordan next spring, according to the statement. He had also spent time in Morocco."


The Muslim brotherhood demonstrators and the anti-government forces didn't get the memo about him being there for peace and understanding.

He was "not that kind of Jew". 

Jews going to do things like this are suicidal.
