Israel kills Jewish stone throwers at the Western Wall

Just kidding! Of course Israel wouldn't kill Jewish stone throwers no matter how big the stones, no matter how big the throwers, no matter how big (or small) the target. Israel has been killing Palestinian stone throwing children for years now, even luring and provoking them into their stone throwing action before killing them, but never does Israel kill Jewish stone throwers. Clearly some stone throwers are more equal than others in the only democracy in the Middle East. Anyway, what's all this stone throwing about? According to Chris McGreal at the Guardian,

Scores of worshippers at Judaism's holiest site stoned a senior Israeli army officer as he arrived to pray, because of his leading role in removing settlers from the Gaza strip. A crowd surrounded Major General Elazar Stern, the head of the army's personnel division, as he approached the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem's old city with his young son on Friday.

When police officers moved to protect the general, worshippers began throwing stones, bags of water, and other objects at him; he emerged unharmed.

As did the stone throwers. If only Israel would treat all stone throwers that way.
