    Stones kill too. Ask Goliath. Stone throwers should be shot.
    Palestinians are taking it for granted that they can stab, stone and shoot Israelis. This has to stop. Israeli leaders should stop being so yellow and give orders to retaliate in all cases,. Israeli leaders want their positions but avoid their responsibilities.
