1. I don't condone the violence ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.21.11)
... but I do understand it. The "Palestine" Authority has done less than nothing to curb Arab violence against Jews, yet they are the first to complain when Jews decide to fight back or defend themselves against wanton Arab aggression.
2. good
daniel ,   canada   (03.21.11)
thats what every israeli should do when palestinians throw stones at their cars.
3. If they come to kill you,kill them first!
Keren ,   IL-BR   (03.21.11)
Every time a "palestinian" comes in our direction with a stone ready to be thrown,being he a child or an adult,kill him first! This is an elementar principle. Stones are weapons in "palestinian"hands !
4. IF this is true....
yitz ,   israel/canada   (03.21.11)
if this is actually true, which of course is itself questionable, it's not cool. retaliation of this sort is foolish and a mistake. the only thing that will result is more hate and bloodshed. really, a stupid move.
5. Shame (lol)
21.03.11   (03.21.11)
Oh well! that's what happens when An arab teaches an innocent Jew how to kill by performing a perfect example. Poor, poor arabs. My heart bleeds for them! This of course will not be posted since I DO NOT stand on the side of the treacherous arabs.
6. To: Yitz at No. 4
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.21.11)
Are not Jews entitled to defend themselves against attack? What should they do when the PA proves itself either unwilling or unable to prevent such attacks? And you are wrong that the result is more hate and bloodshed. Like all cowards, the "Palestinians" have a history of backing down when force is brought to bear against them. They're good at dishing out; not too good at taking it.
7. Self Defense and Justifiable Homicide
Ken Evans ,   Thornton USA   (03.21.11)
In the USA in most states if you have have reasonable belief that severe bodily injury or death may occur you may kill in self defense. A rock to the head can kill you very easily. If I was able to drive away I would retreat. If I was trapped at a light and surrounded I would shoot them between the eyes . I have a responsibilty to protect my wife from any harm or hurt in this life. Israelis tolerate far too much.. The enemy sees this as a definite weakness and to his advantage.
8. Shocking!!
moriah ,   sacramento usa   (03.21.11)
OMG!!! Do you mean to say Arabs were practicing their national pastime - stoning Jews and one actually had the audacity to protect himself? The unmitigated gall of the Jew to think that he has the right to protect himself in his own land when he is physically attacked !! This is an outrage! Even though in America stone (cinder block) throwing is considered a deadly weapon. In Israel it's 'recreation' and therapy for poor troubled Palestinian youth - until their next check comes from the Sugardaddies in EU and UNRWA,.
9. Odd - he heard screaming before the stabbing?
Hesh ,   Israel   (03.21.11)
10. Have you no shame? really?
Salma ,   Palestine   (03.21.11)
11. Two very different things
Ilan ,   Ariel   (03.21.11)
Shooting stone throwers isn't 'price tag' but arguably self-defense while attacking a random Palestinian is simply criminal and terrorism at its worst. Lumping the two things together is lazy and sloppy.
12. he shouldve thrown stones back
eric ,   canada   (03.21.11)
the guy is getting stones thrown at him by several people what do you expect him to do throw stones back? it should be the law to shoot at anyone throwing stones at a civilian. that will get people to think twice before picking up stones off the ground. maybe the police or army can use other means at their disposal against stones, but as a settler your given a weapon to defend yourself and stones can be deadly and the guy just tried defending himself.
13. 1) rocks thrown at cars kill, and thats the intent. shoot to
Reason ,   World   (03.21.11)
kill the owuld be murders of your families, not to injure lightly. Rock throwing has become acceptable. It is not. Unless everyone on ehear agrees to have rocks thrown at their windshiled while they are crusing on the highway at 60mph.......of course thats not ok. In the US thats a serious felony and serious jail time, if not worse if its proven to be racially motivated. In the case of arabs throwing rocks at jews it is racism and nothing less. next time please defend yourself foll on.
14. Palestinian culture of Cry Wolf, also known as professional
Observer ,   World   (03.21.11)
BS artists
15. Understand and justify !
Jennie ,   US/ISrael   (03.21.11)
These consistence and endless stone throwings do cause death and heavy enjuries to Israeli civilians.. Causing death to Israelis is exactly their aim...And if the only thing to stop this kind of terror will be killing the throwers, so be it...Enough is Enough...By not eliminating the problem, by not cutting the hand that kills us and maimes us, we are giving them the sign of endorsement.... Sarah is right ! This must stop ! And it won't, unless they won't be able to do it ! It is high time to value the lives of our own, higher then the lives of our enemies/murderers....
16. Wantom Violence
Gabe1 ,   Thornhill, Canada   (03.21.11)
I do not agree with violence for the sake of violence. But that is what the Palis are doing. So I see nothing wrong when Jews fight back and create violence against violent Palis. Stop the violence and Jews will not have to retaliate.
17. good , that's all they understand
rachel ,   usa   (03.21.11)
18. the right of Israeli "resistance" what
Barney ,   USA   (03.21.11)
the palis have sown they are reaping
19. Endorse the right to armed self defense.
Chaim ,   Israel   (03.21.11)
Self defense is the right of everyone in a civilized nation. In Edwardian England, no gentleman would be seen in public without his pistol. Needless to say, crime rates were very low. Israel's government must endorse citizen's rights to carry arms and use them for self defense. This is how to stop Arab violence. Not with politically correct nonsense.
20. Self defense is a human right
Ivan B. ,   San Jose, CA USA   (03.21.11)
I have no sympathy for stone throwers that get shot, especially adults. The price tag attacks must stop, though.
21. To: No. 10
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.21.11)
This coming from someone who condones the massacre of the Fogel family in Itamar. Shut up, Salma, okay? You are the LAST person on earth to lecture Jews about shame. You are the most shameful people on earth. Airplane hijackings? Massacre of Olympic athletes? Machine-gunning schoolchildren? Suicide bombers? Cutting the throats of a sleeping family? You are the ones that have no shame, Salma. You are the ones that glorify death and massacre. You are the ones who handed out sweets in the aftermath of September 11th. That is why we are going to send you to Jordan. We've had as much of your culture of violence as we can stand.
22. lies lies if possible all the jews do like palestiasnian
abbas ,   jerusalem   (03.21.11)
then there will be noo more palestianan who can still speak or do any troubles
23. to#21: SARA,YOU ROCK !
Jennie ,   US/Israel   (03.21.11)
YOU GO, SARA ! KEEP ON TELLING THOSE SHAMELESS SALMA'S WHo THEY REALLY ARE !
24. To those who think throwing rocks is no big deal ...
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (03.21.11)
Rocks can kill, either directly or by causing fatal accidents. If you think otherwise, then grant me the right to throw rocks at YOU while you're denied the right to defend yourself. After all, it's no big deal.
25. good work.
salma ,   israel   (03.21.11)
if the world or our government wont stand up to protect its citizens from palestinian terror, then every citizen must stand up and defend themselves. if the rocks broke through the windshield and caused the driver to crash the car and die, im sure everyone would be just fine with it. i mean, who cares? its just another jew...
26. Nothing happens to Arabs if they stone Jews in Arab states!
They can go back!   (03.22.11)
27. First they threw stones,now they throw bombs and rockets too
Stop Arabs now   (03.22.11)
28. #10 - apparently the stone throwers didn't
William ,   Israel   (03.22.11)
hopefully, lesson learnt on the Pally side, but most likely not.
29. to salma 10
john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (03.22.11)
Shame-where did you learn that word?All "Palestinians" like you have no shame-you should be washed out to sea like your sewerage.And sooner or later you will be dobbed in for having sex with your donkley.Abusing animals is a crime in Israel-sooner or later one of your Arab neighbors will report you to Animal Welfare Authority.
30. 55 year old throwing stones -- get a grip.
