    Throwing a stone is not a petty crime, it’s called assault with a deadly weapon

      If you’re a crowd who throws 100 of them, perhaps. Not one little boy, throwing a single stone. Don’t be ridiculous.

          a grape can be a deadly weapon under the right circumstances. that doesn’t mean it is one.

          you’re still being ridiculous.

          Head trauma is no joke is.

          yet you’re not dead. I rest my case.

            There are people who die from getting hit by a stone

              Plenty more get killed by Israelis these days.

                  Kids throwing rocks at the people operating the open air concentration camp they’re detained in with the food, water, power, trade and movement restricted (at best) as Israel levels their homes, displaces and kills them? You’re right - I think there’s far bigger concerns than the kids throwing rocks.

                  What do you think it says about you that you’d use a few kids throwing rocks as justification for shooting, shelling, bombing, and starving thousands of children, innocent civilians, and turning every building in the area into said rocks?

                    I’m pretty sure kidnapping and killing thousands was the justification. Israel does detain people without charging them, but I find that the actual problem instead of the teenagers being charged with a crime in an actual court.

        When people say children, it includes people who are 16 years old.

      What do you call killing thousands of children?

        I don’t know, why don’t you ask Hamas, since they are the experts in killing children

          Suddenly you’re all bashful about slapping labels on stuff?

          It’s OK - we can try another - what do you call a group that’s killed orders of magnitude more children than the “experts in killing children”?

            Also experts in killing children. Who said either of the sides is blameless?

              It’s implied in you running straight past Israel’s actions to focus on condemnation of Palestinians comparatively minor actions - or is there another explanation?

                  So what do you call the group killing many, many times more kids than the “experts in killing children”, and why did you deflect to the comparatively minor crimes of Hamas?

          At this point, Israel has killed far more children in this war than Hamas. So I’d say they’re both experts, but Israel is the one with more experience.

      Arresting kids for throwing rocks is petty enough as it. Labeling their actions as assault with a deadly weapon before you arrest them is just absurd.

        How is it petty? It’s actually physically dangerous to people.
