Nice, peaceful "youth." More of this "peaceful" nuttiness follows the break.

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*I love the way the petrol-bomber has tied his headdress around his face. I don't think stones are that big a deal, especially when guards are armoured (and the whole David vs Goliath thing) but petrol bombs are a big no no as far as I'm concerned!

*Believe it or not, even with all of the armour, these guys are quite vulnerable. See here, for instance. Drudgery and statistics here.

I used to be able to find photos of IDF soldiers critically wounded by such "peaceful" stone-throwing attacks, but unfortunately Google seems to have caught a rather nasty anti-Israeli bug

The notion of the "peaceful" Palestinian stone-thrower is still only a myth, unfortunately.

Thanks for taking the time to comment! I look forward to hearing your thoughts more often around here,

Respectfully,
Brian
