Stone throwing is the political expression of choice amongst Palestinian Arab youth, you've seen it on TV -- rocks raining down on worshippers at the Western Wall, highways lined with cement walls to prevent cars being hit -- rocks are a serious issue.
Of course, the PC(USA) has discovered the horrors of stone-throwing...when it's done by Jews.
Schoolgirls stoned by Israeli settlers
Of course, when you read the article, there's no testimony that the schoolgirls were attacked, only their "foreign escort" tools.
Christian Attitudes is all over this:
If PCUSA News is truly impartial and unprejudiced, it would also run this more shocking story. A Jewish woman travelling on her own is attacked by an Arab mob – she could have been killed.
