#1 In the article, it's amusing how it refers to Palestinian suicide attacks as "martyrdom bombings".

#2 Something that the news media never mention when discussing "stone-throwers" is that these kids are throwing bricks. Scroll down through this article (sorry, it was a really long fisking of Reuters)for a photo of the kids throwing those "rocks."

#3 The problem with the Palestinian economy is that these young thugs used to be rented out as mercenary slingers two millenia ago. Now they are stupid enough to do the rock throwing for free, with IDF infantry as targets no less.
