I've been thinking about this for a couple of days, and I think it should be said: I am incredibly uncomfortable watching all of this, and made even more uncomfortable knowing that there are people on twitter, be they Gamerfood people or not, fueling this nonsense with Jace and Eli.
There's a huge difference between watching a Jace stream and watching Eli stumble around a foreign country outrunning imaginary terrorists and looking for imaginary terrorists. Considering he doesn't know the language, has little money, seemingly knows nothing of the culture, and is in/near a war zone, there's a decent chance something horrible could happen to Eli. While Jace may be responsible for this stupid plan of his, and Eli made the stupid decision to go along with it, I think it's irresponsible and dangerous for anyone to fuel this, as ridiculous as the situation may be. I don't direct that towards anyone here in particular (as far as I know no one here is gamerfood or in direct contact with Jace or Eli), so please don't take it personally. I don't intend for this to spark some debate about the morality of trolling or watching the results, nor am I trying to act as though I'm somehow a better person for expressing worry. I'm not. I am simply and genuinely concerned for Eli in his present situation.
With all of the tracking people on here have done, surely there's some way to direct Eli to an embassy or something? Can't we help him out somehow, to get him back home? Can we at least try to contact him, his parents, etc. to get something done and end this? Can we talk some sense into someone involved or connected with this?
If this whole thing turns out to be a crazy elaborate hoax then haha, aren't I the fool for worrying. But if this is actually happening then I may soon have to take my leave. Even just observing this stuff unfold makes me feel terrible.
Again, I'm not trying to take the moral higher ground with this post. Just trying to express my (hopefully baseless) concerns.
I, ah, tweeted him the website and Google Maps location of the US Embassy, but he seems to have ignored me. 
of Eli's, which means he's not as dumb as he sounds, isn't going to actually do anything really dangerous like try to enter Gaza, probably has an exit strategy already worked out, and worst case can get help at the embassy. He'll ignore any sensible advice because he's already on top of things.
