Amira Hass, Haaretz, November 4:
"For Palestinians, Yitzhak Rabin is remembered first of all as someone who instructed soldiers to break their arms and legs, when they began their popular uprising against the Israeli occupation in 1987.
"Before the handshake on the White House lawn, before the Nobel Prize and before the murder, when Palestinians were asked about Rabin, this is what they remember: One thinks of his hands, scarred by soldiers' beatings; another remembers a friend who flitted between life and death in the hospital for 12 days, after he was beaten by soldiers who caught him drawing a slogan on a wall during a curfew. Yet another remembers the Al-Amari refugee camp; during the first intifada, all its young men were hopping on crutches or were in casts because they had thrown stones at soldiers, who in turn chased after them and carried out Rabin's order."
While the Western media portrays the murdered Rabin as the last Israeli leader dedicated to "peace", the Palestinians know the truth and the world should open its eyes.

You're right. Stone throwers should be shot, killed and quartered and even that's too good for them.
Soldiers should break their arms and legs? They deserve it. After all, they're Palestinian and all potential terrorists.
They really must get out of their tanks, take the Palestinians, and crush all their bones. What else do they really expect?
Funny how the vast majority of what passes for leadership in the palestinian region has the blood of palestinians as well as jews still fresh in their teeth and this is your major complaint?
LOL
Not only are they self defeating, they lead idiots like Eddie and inhuman to think they should throw them with impunity.
Killing murderers before they murder again, when it is impossible to arrest them (as there is actually a war going on there) seems legal to me.
If you will recall, many want Marwan Barghouti free because they believe Israel has no jurisdiction. But you can't demand the stop of justifiable defense of the destruction of palestinian murderers as you protest their arrest and conviction.
As there is absolutely no comparison between your NZ example and the Palestinian terrorist organization, your justification ideal falls flat.
The Palestinians endured 19 years of brutal Egyptian occupation. To relieve it, they went out and killed Jews. Another ideal of yours falls flat.
Care to try a third?
