British MP claims rocks don't kill
Arutz Sheva ^ | 12/1/16 | Nitzan Keidar

The Israeli embassy in Britain sent a letter of complaint to a Muslim Labour MP after she claimed that no Israeli children had been killed by rock-throwing Palestinians, The Jewish Chronicle reported Monday.

During a parliamentary debate on child detainees and prisoners in Palestinian Authority-controlled territories, the MP Naz Shah claimed it was “absolutely unacceptable” to arrest children.

She then claimed the Israeli government had provided no evidence of Israeli children being killed or injured by Palestinian minors protesting in Judea and Samaria.

“The fact is that the disproportionality of someone throwing a stone or a rock and being detained for it is not acceptable,” The Jewish Chronicle quoted Shah as having said at the debate last Wednesday.

Her Labour colleague Ian Austin responded by pointing out the case of four-year-old Adelle Biton, who was critically wounded in a rock attack on her family’s car in 2013 and died two years later.

But Shah insisted, “The Israeli government have not provided any evidence of any child causing a death, or contributing to a death, using a stone. There is no evidence of that.”

Eitan Na’eh, chargé d'affaires at the embassy in London, wrote to Shah on Monday to express his “profound concern” about her claims, according to The Jewish Chronicle.

In his later, Na’eh wrote that Palestinian minors had been involved in “deadly crimes” against Israeli civilians, including through the throwing of rocks.

“I must impress upon you the fact that rock-throwing is a violent crime that can, and has, led to death on multiple occasions,” he wrote, citing the case of Adelle Biton before presenting several other examples.

As far back as the Trojan War rocks were used as deadly weapons.

David slew Goliath with a rock.

“So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.” (1 Samuel 17:50)

A rock.

They'll be throwing rocks in London soon enough. I'm sure the Brits will be tolerant of the non life threating demonstrations.

“Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. Ms. Shah didn’t say that rocks don’t kill minors, just that there was no proof that a minor throwing a rock had ever killed an infant”

You do have a point - if the kid lingered for 2 years in the British socialized medical system, perhaps the Brits there decided to put that kid on “Pathways”, which is their term for euthanasia.

Fair enough. Mrs jewbacca played college softball. She wa the pitcher.
Let’s have her bean him with a nice sized rock going 50-60 mph.

If a mere rock thrown by a mere Jewess kills him it must be G-ds will.

***British MP claims rocks don’t kill***

The AZTEC ruler Montezuma begs to differ on that.

Let’s throw a couple of rocks at the MP and see if she’s right.

No, it isn’t. The ignorance on FR sometimes is depressing.

Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. He only knocked Goliath down with the rock. Then he used the giant’s own sword to behead him. The rock did not kill him. The sword did.
