Those “Stone Throwing” Youth
Here’s a video so important, I am posting it in this standalone post instead of in my usual “Day in Israel” roundup for easier dissemination.
With the mainstream media doing its utmost to portray the palestinian’s use of stones against Israeli soldiers as a Goliath and David situation, the truth is something else.
I’ve already been posting photo proof of palestinians throwing things other than just stones, but here I am posting footage showing something else: a palestinian throwing a very large rock at a moving car full of kids from close range, narrowly missing the head of a young child.
Note also how Israeli troops are allowing aforesaid palestinian to pray before he decides to go medieval on passing traffic.
Update: Post adjusted – the palestinian praying does not seem to be the same one who threw the rock at the car load of children, but the essential point remains the same.
Update: Here’s the full video. Note it is from AFP, which renders as rubbish comments such as the following (From Liveleak, page 5).
ISRAELI PROPAGANDA….
PLEASE LOOK AT FACTS OF THIS VIDEO BELOW.
:00-:03 Seconds
Palestinian wearing a PURPLE shirt, is kneeling down, then, starts getting up, in front of Israeli guards.:04-:05 Seconds
Palestinian wearing a PURPLE shirt, reaches from under the corner of the carpet and picks up a black hat. As he’s getting up, he puts on his hat, away from the camera.:06-:09 Seconds
A guy wearing a DARK GREY shirt is seen throwing s rick to a white truck.DID YOU SEE THAT???
The video was edited, to depict that the Palestinian got up, reached for a rock and threw it to a random truck. In reality, the Palestinian just got up put on his black hat… and it showed another random act (probably not even from the same same of events).:10-:12 Seconds
Children are seen in the back seats of the truck, it seems that the passengers side is empty.:13 Seconds-End of video
The video then is edited, to show Israeli troops defending the chaos and barbaric actions of Palestinians (“throwing rocks at children”).Don’t Believe Everything You See on TV!!!

Update: Meet a victim of palestinian rock throwing – Yehuda Shoham (deceased).
You can read his story here (hat tip: Carl)
And here are a few more examples.
Update: I’ve had to issue a correction to this post.
Disgusting.
Absolutely disgusting. My two cents: notice that
a) despite the huge police force — they really can't do much for fear of harming the Palestinians and causing an International incident. They just try to contain the area of riots by standing around and acting as a blockade of sorts.
b) the "stone throwers" don't look that harmless and
c) THAT WAS A CARLOAD OF CHILDREN! There were plenty of other "targets" for the Pal to throw his rock at. Throw it at the riot police with the equipment and shields! But instead he throws it at a car of Kids!
So why aren't Israelis throwing rocks at Lady Ashton and Ban Ki-Moon just to show them what it's like?
[...] 6:00AM: A must see video. [...]
My goodness… I'm really speechless. A David & Goliath situation? That arm is not a slingshot, that chunk of rock is not a pebble, and those children are not giants.
The ones that are disgusting are the Israelis for not protecting our own citizens.
I look forward to the day when all the leaders of this mess, political, judicial and military, get hauled into court and then tossed into jail – forever.
Keep knitting, Madame Defarge, keep knitting!
What is the PA doing about this? I am disgusted by these stone throwers, too. What can they possibly think they can gain by throwing a chunk of concrete at a car with a small child sitting on the other side of the window?
Are you really that naive?
They name streets and squares after their animals. But this is just a small beast. He hasn't made the grade yet.
I prefer uninformed, but I am trying to learn. So you're saying, Shy Guy, that not only don't you expect the PA to provide public order within their population, but you think it is widely accepted among Israelis that the PA actively promotes this type of violence? OK, maybe I am naive, but I never hear this discussed in the media here in the US.
Sadly, that is exactly what Shy Guy is saying, and that is exactly what the PA is doing.
They have been actively encouraging this kind of violence for the past week, and the fact that the US media never talks about is one of the reasons for the success of blogs like Israellycool.
PA leaders have been calling for Palestinians to "descend on Al Aqsa and defend it from the Jews". They have fanning the flames.
It is also the reason for the outrage in Israel at the US administrations overreaction to the housing announcement, while they are deafeningly silent on the Palestinian incitement unless directly challenged on it.
No, Jim from Iowa, you will NEVER hear ANYTHING like that in the media, where terrorists are called "militants", retaliation is called "attack" and announcing the end of a 10 building month band voluntarily accepted by Israel, at the behest of the US, in exchange for nothing is called "provocation & insult" to the US.
Now now, dont demean lovely creatures by comparing them to Arabs.
But the PA is one of the many inciting people to do this sort of thing so they have nothing to lose by it.
Gain? Look at what they've gained! Pressure on Israel, of course. "Stop the cycle of violence", right? Ask Obama. Do you rememeber when the PLO threw Leon Klinghoffer off of the boat? It gained them almost a state, and unrelenting pressure on Israel to give up eavery last millimeter.
My Dad's neighbor was a Rabbi who was chosen to work on the Dead Sea Scolls. True scholar, no airs, the least extreme person you could find. On his piano was a HUGE stone. This was thrown at his son-in-law, who threw himself over the grandchldren, and shielded himself with – his JACKET.
There is a "cycle of violence". If you don't respond, it gets worse.
I think I see your larger point that Palestinian violence leads to (perversely) international recognition for the Palestinian cause, although I'm having a hard time connecting the dots between the murder of Leon Klinghofer and the establishment of a Palestinian state.
I value Israellycool for bringing me important information like this stoning incident. You folks in Israel are living with it everyday. But me here in Iowa, do you know what kind of reaction I get from friends and family when I bring this up? Initially I get blank stares followed by a rolling of the eyes. Take it from me, most Americans, unfortunately, don't seem to care about the Israel/Arab conflict. What can I do about this?
It's a "It's them, not me. Why should I care?" thing
Jim from Iowa, you can point to the Twin Towers & tell them that Israel is the capstone in the wall against terrorism. If we do not stand with Israel, and look past the propaganda of those wedded to oil interests, we will all suffer.
Wait until they post the video of them being beaten down and arrested and wave it around as Israeli brutality. As always, the context will be missing.
As always, thanks for posting this important information. Yes, it is lost, abused, ignored and worse, corrupted…you remain a valuable source for the truth. Thank you!
(I was in Rubin Shul, Yeshiva University, June '83 when someone, after a couple of tries, managed to get a stone through the window. I didn't bother reporting it. Wasn't two weeks, IIRC, that I was in the Kosher restaurant down the block, and a squad shot machine guns thorough the window. Luckily this wasn't the Middle East; they shot at an angle, so I'm still here. (Three separate incidents, Washington Heights, probably a power play by a drug gang. It was in the papers.)
(It was just an example, one where I believed Arafat was involved. I could not remember exactly which massacres were linked directly to the PLO, and I am too old to be in the habit of Googling. I do recally that Yasser Arafat ordered the murder of two American diplomats. But at the end it is Rabin's fault for recognizing him, not the U.S's. The U.S. waited for Israel.)
Why it a bad thing if Americans aren't concerned about the Middle East, particularly given the media? The trick is to counter-act the negative stuff, and just breathe a sigh of relief when people aren't interested (more or less my approach to haredi issues, in theory, at least).
I kind of LIKE voter apathy. Let the people who care enough to know something vote; let those who have no clue stay home. It also means that things really aren't too bad.
