Funny part, during Bosnia, only 5 purple hearts were awarded; the soldiers who received them were injured by thrown rocks! Last I heard the VA is treating over a thousand service members from there for PTSD. Go figure!
So if Palestine is David and Israel is Goliath, Israel would be wise to imprison Palestine because David slew Goliath.. That’s what I get out of this cartoon at any rate.
This is completely false and offensive. They were throwing rocks that could cause serious injury or death at innocent civilians, fueled by Hamas’s call to murder Jews. If someone starting throwing stones at people in the streets in America, you would hope they would be arrested, too.
One has to have to a sense of wondering admiration for anyone who faces tanks & armoured vehicles with nothing but stones. Imagine their desperation & anger.
When you have nothing but stones.. you throw stones. Without America’s support the other side would only have stones as well and the battle would be less lethal.
When a group of people, treat another group of people, as if they are less than human. We may expect those who are ill treated, to resent their treatment.
If you wish to breed rebels, treat men badly, you’ll get what you wanted.
I do not use terrorist it has become a trigger word something to throw to the masses to inflame.
I understand most of you don’t know jack about weapons, but a Sling can kill a man dead at handgun range, very accurate and an unlimited supply of ammo. Not as lethal as a Bow but much easier to carry unnoticed. We made and carried them as kids, hitting trees a 50 yards became easy.

That’s the right-wing Israeli posture: Throw a rock at us and we’ll jail you for life.

It’s not cognitive dissonance if you think both sides are wrong – is it?

More than a few stones were thrown on 10.7.23.

So throwing stones at humans should be legal? Or does it matter if the thrower thinks the target is sub-human?

Nothing excuses what Hamas “men” did to babies and children. Nothing.

Wait, if Rall posts something like this, which he has, someone would be calling him an anti-Semite.

a thrown stone hurts when it hits, a head shot can kill

Being held without charges or trial sounds very maoist. Shameful it took what happened on October the 7th to reveal the atrocities from both sides

What is the difference between hostages and prisoners? Both sides are at fault for capturing and holding many women and children.
