Basic Protection
(Jerusalem Post) Editorial - Alexander Levlovitz, 64, was murdered in cold-blood by Arab stone-throwers in Jerusalem last week. Stone-throwers are terrorists in every sense of the word. Hurling rocks at moving vehicles is invariably an extreme act of malice aforethought. There are no pacifist and compassionate stoners. An act of intentional premeditated violence cannot be downplayed as nonviolent. The tendency internationally is often to belittle the crime of stone-throwing and regard it as an expression of youthful exuberance, which is how the Arab communities which send out brainwashed youths to target Jewish traffic like to present things. Unthinkably, stoning Jews has become a popular sport which is glorified in Arab society as heroic. Attacks on innocent travelers mustn't be belittled merely because the weapon of choice isn't a firearm. Often large rocks are hurled, heavy cement blocks and even outright boulders - and stoning attacks have claimed many lives over the years.
