Stones vs. Guns. Children vs. Soldiers. Soldiers with guns have an overwhelming advantage, which is why they were in the headline. Come on, Nadine. If it were Israelis throwing stones at Palestinian soldiers who were shooting them indiscriminately, you'd be championing the Israeli cause, AND SO WOULD I.

Are you suggesting that it is OK for a state's army to shoot children throwing stones?

How big a stone can an 8-year-old throw, Nadine? How far?

If soldiers are to disperse a crowd, are bullets their only tool?

What I am amazed at is how a group of people whose children were so horribly massacred only about fifty years ago can turn so cold to killing of other people's children.
