Little Children Throwing Stones Should Be Shot
And almost were.
Hamas gunmen fire on Fatah protesters
Hamas gunmen opened fire on demonstrators from the rival Fatah movement in the southern Gaza Strip on Tuesday, wounding four people in the first factional violence following the deaths of three children in a drive-by shooting, officials said.
The demonstration was organized to protest the deaths of the children, whose car was riddled with bullets as they drove to school Monday morning. Fatah officials have accused Hamas of being behind the shooting. The children’s father is an intelligence officer and Fatah loyalist who is considered an enemy of Hamas.
Saleh Hammad, a local Fatah leader, said the demonstration was peaceful, though he acknowledged that some children had provoked the Hamas militiamen by throwing rocks at them.
“Even if one or a few children lost their temper and stoned the members of the unit, this is not a reason to be fired at,” he said.
Hamas continues to impress with their version of ‘governance’.

Waiting for the condemnation of the use of disproportionate force by Hamas in 5, 4, 3, …
I thought the children were using disproportionate force. Nasty urchins.
No doubt Human Rights Watch will jump all over this one and roundly condemn Hamas!
…and if you believe that, I have some beachfront property in Tulsa for sale.
