Correction

In yesterday’s post Those “Stone Throwing” Youth, I wrote that a palestinian threw a rock at a car full of young kids.

It seems I may have erred.

It was apparently a brick.

An Israeli Jewish child reacts after a Palestinian, not pictured, smashed the window of a car with a brick in the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Ras al-Amudin, Friday, March 12, 2010. Seeking to head off further unrest, police limited access to the city's holiest site Friday, and Israel's military sealed off the West Bank for 48 hours, preventing Palestinians from entering Israel. Police allowed only men over 50 to pray Friday at the shrine at the center of the disturbances, the Jerusalem compound Jews call the Temple Mount and Muslims call the Noble Sanctuary. There were no limitations on women. (AP Photo/Bernat Armangue)

My bad.

  1. AP are far more biased than I thought. El-Aqsa – "the city's holiest site"?!?!? Why would they think that a muslim shrine is holier than a jewish or a christian shrine? Furthermore, when they say that the Jerusalem compoiund jews call the shrine the Temple Mount, do they mean that it's a local phenomenon limited to Jerusalem jews? No real connection between jews and the "holiest site", nope, just a bunch of local jews playing with words…

    There really should be a "AP watch" site too – if only to tell them where to stick their "Jerusalem compound" (compound – as opposed to "indivisible capital of Israel", I reckon…).

  2. Well, Dave, I thought it was a huge chunk of concrete, so you weren't the only one fooled by the jumpy video.
