Reader comment on item: Instant Retribution in the Middle East
in response to reader comment: "Arab attacker killed by his own rock

Submitted by saberman (United States), Jan 23, 2009 at 08:35

That young chap was just throwing a rock at a car, a mere piece of property, to express his unhappiness with the Jewish occupation of his homeland. That Jewish car should not have flung back the rock and killed him. This is a clear war crime---a crime against humanity and I am demanding that the UN investigate it. I'm sure that the Jewish driver was testing some new automobile drone which has the capability to kill innocent civilians in just this way. These deadly devices must be banned.
