“If they’d shoot the rock throwers, that would fix the problem...”
As insane as it sounds, that is probably the rock-thrower’s goal. The MSM is spring-loaded to condemn Israel. There are probably UN resolutions already drafted and waiting. Israel has a PR problem. They also have their own lunatic left which is disproportionately larger than that of the US and Europe. Remember, they started as a communist country. What they really need is the most brilliant and well funded marketing program of all time. But the headwinds against them are like a tornado.
The clowns throwing the rocks are doing so in hopes of injuring or killing Israelis. Killing them is simply self defense. It also sets an expectation that makes further instances of this less likely.
And it isn’t like the world will hate Israel more...
