1. Enough
Moshe ,   USA   (04.02.13)
Enough is enough already, stone throwers need to be prosecuted and treated as people who are assaulting. When you throw a stone (large ones, construction rubble ect.) you are intending to hurt and kill whoever you are throwing it at.
2. The Courts, The Cops, the Military
Ron ,   OC, US   (04.02.13)
If the Israelis can get the above to conclude that stone throwing at moving cars is attempted murder and enforced there might be a lesson leaned. Until then expect more stone throwers.
3. That little face
Devorah   (04.02.13)
Those rosy cheeks and that disarming smile. That photo still tears my heart to shreds. Oh, how I would love to throw rocks at al-Araja until he...
4.  sticks and stones can
arne ,   chicago usa   (04.03.13)
break my bones, but leveling my home will pretty much bust my balls. that's an old old saying at it should apply more often, here for certain.
5. No free education, no family visits...it's prison.
David ,   Hartford USA   (04.03.13)
Let this dirtbag rot in prison for 50 years. No TV, no books, no internet. Just 4 walls and nothing to do for the next 5 decades. Maybe, just maybe, the idiot 'Palestinians' will figure out that there is more to life. (But I doubt it.)
6. So what will the verdict be against Jewish stone throwers?
Ben Alofs ,   Bangor, UK   (04.03.13)
The Jewish colonists in the occupied Westbank terrorise Palestinian villagers, not just with stones, but with firearms as well. I travelled once in a Palestinian service taxi with blue number plates along Route 60 near Sinjil, when a big rock, the size of a man's fist, was thrown into the windshield by a Jewish colonist from a car travelling at full speed in the opposite direction towards the Palestinian service taxi. It was a terrifying experience. The driver managed to stop the car and there were only minor injuries. If throwing stones is equal to attempted murder, then a lot of Jewish criminals from the colonies in the Westbank belong in jail. But they don't need to be worried. For they won't be going to trial at Ofer Base Military Court in case they will be caught red handed. They will appear before a Court in Israel and will at most get a few month's of community service, that is IF they will ever have to go to Court. I don't want civilians of either side and certainly not children to become victims of violence. But throwing stones is just a symptom of the disease called Israeli occupation of Palestinian land. Treat the disease and not the symptom.
7. Thank G-d justice is done.
Shelley ,   Jerusaelm   (04.03.13)
Baruch Hashem they convicted him. If only all those murderous stone throwers would realize that they would be punished, and it would deter them, it would be a victory. But not a complete victory for the murderer to sit in prison with benefits while the Plamers will never get their beloved son and grandson back again.
8. #6
Moshe ,   Givataim   (04.03.13)
I don't know where you made up your story, but come here and we will talk face to face. You are doing the same that all of these idiotic terrorists are doing, blaming us for this. Again and again and again you do NOT learn. May Waal stay in prison for the next 50 years, once he will be released I will be waiting with a rock.
9. And what is the sentence ?
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (04.03.13)
Top secret, as the imperial british legal system do not allows to publish it. A new trial is necessary to hand the sentece to the prisoner. A ridicolous nonsense, as all forms of british traditions, forgotten from mandatory times. Including military marches and salutes. If in Britain will be sariyah law introduced, very soon, also this will be copied by Israel ?
10. #6 Jewish stone throwers ??
Nick ,   Sweden   (04.03.13)
And how, may I ask, did you find out the identity of the stone thrower? Read the licence plate off a car in full speed in opposite direction? Saw the kippah on his head? Was he Jewish? Israeli? Palestinian? Or did you just take the taxi driver's word for it that it was a Jewish settler? Is it possible that the stone thrower "in full speed" actually not noticed a palestinian plate on the taxi? Your story stinks to high heaven dear Ben Alofs.
11. #10 re Jewish stone-throwers
Radka ,   Athens   (04.03.13)
You mean you've NEVER seen Jewish settlers throwing rocks? Google them pics. And welcome to the strange universe where people, be they Jewish or Arab, consider throwing rocks to be a natural practice.
12. #11 Yes, stones are thrown
Nick ,   en   (04.03.13)
by Jewish settlers. If caught, a legal system equal for all who brake the law penalizes such deeds. I was referring to the apparent inconsistencies in the story of "mr. Alofs". BTW, can you name any palestinian loses of life because of stoning by Jews? Stop building a strawman Radka - jestli vís o cem je rec.
13. settlers who throw
Elijah ,   NYC   (04.24.13)
rocks...garbage...diapers and let us not forget FISTS...beating up elderly shepherds, terrorizing children, how about Elad director who DROVE over children in their neighborhood tossing one over the hood and never stopping? how many of them are ever charged let alone prosecuted? there are two systems of justice --thus no real justice. Does anyone truly believe that there is JUSTICE ?
