Kids definitely are encouraged 2 throw rocks - by adults, anti-Zionists, parents... shira Jan 2015 #37

They should speak out on the policy and answer the criticisms. bravenak Jan 2015 #39

I had read a couple of weeks back that Shurat HaDin had brought a case before the ICC azurnoir Jan 2015 #14

What do u think about that? shira Jan 2015 #16

I think Shurat HaDins status as an 'N'-go should be closely investigated n/t azurnoir Jan 2015 #20

There are politically motivated NGO's on both sides. Some more extreme..... shira Jan 2015 #22

Encouraging kids to throw rocks at soldiers is arguably worse, don't u think? n/t shira Jan 2015 #17

even IF true that does not does not excuse IDF using lve ammo on minors azurnoir Jan 2015 #21

seems someone has a problem acknowledging something here azurnoir Jan 2015 #24

I did answer your question and that answer was deflected for some reason azurnoir Jan 2015 #36

Where? n/t shira Jan 2015 #38

LoL. You didn't say it was wrong b/c u question whether it happens at all. shira Jan 2015 #44

nIce try except I did not question whether or not kids throw rocks azurnoir Jan 2015 #52

Are you suggesting that it is alright to kill children? R. Daneel Olivaw Jan 2015 #25

That's what I'm getting out of it. bravenak Jan 2015 #27

I asked a question. You're deflecting, as usual. shira Jan 2015 #32

Wow. You really are stuck. R. Daneel Olivaw Jan 2015 #49
