(Jerusalem Post) Tovah Lazaroff - The world has been silent in the face of Palestinian "terror attacks with rocks" against Israelis, Israel's Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan told the Security Council on Wednesday as he held up a large rock that looked like a brick. "Rocks like this are thrown at Israelis in their cars and on buses. They are thrown at Israeli men and women, at Israeli babies and children - every single day. But the world says nothing." "Would you consider it a terror attack if a rock like this was thrown at your car while driving with your children? Would you at the very least condemn these brutal terror attacks carried out against Israeli civilians by Palestinians?" There were 200 violent Palestinian attacks against Israelis just in the last month, including 143 incidents of rock throwing and 20 grenades and firebombs.
