Palestinians use SLINGSHOTS to take on Israeli soldiers: Gas mask-wearing protesters hurl tear gas c

[bemildred]

These incredible pictures show Palestinian protesters using slingshots to hurl back tear gas cannisters fired into a village on the West Bank by Israeli security forces.

The stand-off between demonstrators and Israeli soldiers followed a solidarity march by villagers of Bilin, west of the city of Ramallah, over the construction of settlements and the confiscation of their land.

Some of the Palestinians wore masks as they threw the cannisters back at the Israelis, with noxious gases swirling in the air above their heads.

8. Do you think I wrote that article or do you think I posted an article with a link?

Do you think the author of that piece thought it was true life history ?

It’s hard to let pass the unfolding passionate relationship between these two young scriptural heroes.

Sorry , no gotcha moment for you .

22. "pray by all means"

Not sure there are a lot of people who agree with that sentiment.

18. I would say something about you being named after a fairytale character...

But...

I chose my name after a My Little Pony character, so I guess I can't actually do that.

Dammit.
