When I was in Gaza in 1993, I got hit in the mouth with a ‘stone’ the size of a coke can.
I woke up at Barzilay hospital, sans some teeth, confused as heck.
I will have the scar inside my mouth for the rest of my life getting crushed by that stone.

And the worst thing about it is that we (Israeli soldiers) are so constrained by open-fire rules, nothing can really be done to these ‘stone throwing youths’ other than tear gas.

And it’s not just those throwing stones… the Arabs arm themselves with sling shots.

I have had a stone whiz by me head that came from a Palestinian sling shot. Trust me, the rock is going so fast, it can lodge itself in your brain stem through your forehead.

Spit on the media.
