Rock throwing has been often dismissed as a harmless form of expression in Palestinian culture. Not so. Many Jews have been injured, and even killed, by rock-throwing Palestinians. Here is the story of Adele Biton, a toddler severely brain damaged when a Palestinian hit her head with a fist-sized rock. Adele passed away a few days ago after months of struggling for her life.
In the meantime the Israeli government still refuses to deal with daily attacks by Arab rock throwers. The appeasing Israeli authorities prefer to risk Jews being injured or killed, than to irritate the Arabs by arresting their gangs of rock throwers. As the author of this article says, Jewish blood is cheap in Israel.

Anatomy of a Stone
A Portrait of Arab Morality
By Donny Fuchs
Rafi and Adva Biton buried their four year old daughter, Adele Biton (Hyd) last
week. Yet another precious Jewish child, nay, a baby by any definition, was
stolen from her parents.
Arab rock throwers intent on murdering Jews
It wasn’t due to complications related to pneumonia, which her death
certificate will surely list as the cause of death.
Pneumonia was secondary to the real disease which stole her life, as
surely as if she was shot in the head. Adele was murdered by Arabs.
In March of 2013, Arabs hurled stones at Adele’s family’s car outside the
community of Ariel. Her mother had to swerve the car and they collided with a
truck.
The injuries the two year old Adele sustained should have killed her;
instead she was left with severe neurological impairment and compromised health.
Sometimes people aren’t killed outright when terror strikes. Sometimes the after
effects reduce the person to a shell of their former self, either physically,
cognitively, or emotionally.
Many victims of Arab terror are left in vegetative
states, comas, or the lesser forms of brain trauma that robs the person of his
or her intellect and personality. The little deaths. The slow deaths. The death
of one’s health.
The tragedies that precede quietly but no less tragically.
Adele’s death must be seen as death by Arab terror. They stoned her, and damaged
her health forever.
Soon after the devastating tsunami struck Japan's east coast in March of 2011, the US Navy aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan showed up to provide humanitarian aid. It may have exposed those on board to toxic levels of radiation. Here, sailors scrub down the flight deck to clean the ship of radiation on March 23, 2011.
Steve Simmons was honorably discharged from the Navy for medical reasons last June. His complaints began about a year after he returned from Japan when his muscles began to fail and his hair began falling out by the handful. Four years ago, he competed in triathlons and hiked in the mountains. Now, he can no longer walk -- and nobody can tell him why.

Anti-Israel propaganda presents the distorted view of Israel as an occupier of Arab land, a military giant oppressing the Palestinians, who have to resort to throwing rocks and launching low-tech rockets to liberate their land.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
In fact, Israel has always been, and continues to be, another David facing a much larger Goliath: the much better armed Arab world and Iran.
The following video is a must.
In only four minutes it explains what odds is Israel facing today, who are its enemies, and how well armed they are.
As you watch it, please keep in mind that the United States has been arming Israel's enemies with the latest military weapons and technology for many decades already. And that the White House and the European Union generously finance the terrorist Palestinian Authority that kills Jews and wants to destroy the state of Israel - one "peace" at the time.
Considering the troubled history of US-Israel relations, it is quite obvious that while US presidents pledge support to Israel with one hand, with the other they arming and empowering Israel's enemies.
Three times Arab countries have tried to destroy Israel and massacre the Jews
They tried it in 1948. Then in 1967. Then in 1973.
After that they used the tricks of US diplomacy, and got the Sinai and Gaza without firing a single shot (both of which became cauldrons of jihadism).
When Arabs lose a war, it's just another failure.
They always recover, with the help from the USA. To try again.
If Israel loses just one war, it would suffer a second Holocaust.
The PLO
The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) was founded in 1964. That was long before the 1967 war when Israel was attacked by a coalition of Arab countries who wanted to massacre all Israelis. The attackers asked the Arabs to get out of the way and flee, so that their armies could better deal with the Jews.
The Arab Refugees
Those Arabs who fled to other Arab countries are still called "refugees". A separate United Nations refugee agency - UNRWA - was set up especially for to keep them in refugee camps indefinitely and never give them a chance for a new life elsewhere, as is the case with other refugees. They live miserable lives and are used as pawns in the war against Israel.
The Liberation of Jewish Land in 1967
In the war of 1967 the Jews won against all odds, and on top of that they managed to liberate Biblical Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, Gaza, and the Golan Heights - an act that the Arabs and their friends would eventually call "the occupation".
Who is the Real Occupier?
This term 'occupation' is misleading because Jews lived on the land for thousands of years, while the Arabs came in from the Saudi peninsula in the 7th century as conquerors and OCCUPIERS. Jews are the indigenous people of Israel. Half of Israeli Jews are refugees from Arab countries or their children - they are not Europeans.
Is it Peace that the Arabs seek?
So, what was the original intent of the PLO? To destroy Israel. All of it.
And the "resistance," as they call it, is not a struggle using stones and home-made rockets. The resistance is terror that has killed or maimed thousands of Israelis.
Just this week a US court determined that the PLO was responsible for acts of terror against American citizens, and awarded the US victims' families the amount of $218.5 million.
To this day the 'moderate' Palestinian Authority (PA) pays salaries to the families of terrorists who kill Jews, and the perpetrators are officially honored as heroes.
To this day the PA incites terror and demonizes Jews.
And that's just the 'moderate' Palestinians. Hamas does not even pretend to be moderate. They are quite open in their genocidal intents.
Add to that the military wing of 'moderate' Fatah, the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, whose job is to terrorize Israelis. So while Mahmoud Abbas wears his expensive and elegant suit and attends diplomatic meetings, his armed wing wrecks havoc among Israelis.
But that's not all. Israel has uncovered ISIS cells in Judea and Samaria (West Bank). ISIS is already established in Gaza.
In the meantime Hamas and Fatah have been at each other's throats for years. Sometimes they appear to get along, and sometimes they kill each other. That's the Middle East.
Does the World need Another Dysfunctional Arab State?
So the questions that we need to ask is what kind of state would result from the Two-States solution?
The answer is obvious. Just look at their culture right now. And look at the never stopping bloodshed in the neighborhood.
Muslims have been slaughtering each other ever since the death of Mohammed, when they could not agree on his legitimate successor (Shia-Sunni divide). Do we expect them to ever make peace with the Jews?

Otter-ly delightful! Six-week-old baby mammal that was just hours from death after losing its mother is on the mend after being rescued by dogwalkers
Otter was unresponsive when it was rescued by father and son out walking
They took the tiny six-week-old mammal to nearby animal rescue centre
The pup, named Otto, will be released to the wild when he is fully recovered
This orphaned otter pup is on the mend after it was rescued by dogwalkers who found it lying unresponsive on the banks of a river. The six-week-old pup, named Otto, was discovered by the father and son when they heard its cries while walking in Duncombe Park, North Yorkshire, last week. It was taken to the Wildlife Haven Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre, where staff will care for it until he is fully recovered and ready to be released back into the wild.

The amount of anti-Semitic verbal and physical assaults on American university campuses in the name of "justice for Palestinians" has increased so sharply that the FREEDOM CENTERdecided to distribute posters exposing how Palestinians impose their own brand of justice in the territories they control.
The two images are factual and depict how Palestinians in authority deal with adversaries, dissenters and those accused of collaboration.
The posters appeared on several campuses but were taken down under orders from university authorities. This is puzzling, as those who are anti-Israel are free to allege all kinds of defamatory and inciteful allegations against the Jewish state, do it in downright genocidal and anti-Semitic language, and still get away with it in the name of freedom of speech.
These photographs depicting how Palestinians deal with opponents were ordered taken down by university authorities at UCLA and other campuses.
The Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) has accused the posters of constituting hate speech, specifically of being “Islamophobic” and “anti-Arab.” This is a typical SJP deception since the posters say nothing about Islam or Arabs.
SJP at UCLA and on campuses across the country, however, is a hate group that targets Jews and their supporters, spreads lies about the Jewish state and calls for its destruction — an act of genocide.
For a full account of the many examples of SJP’s Israel-hating radicalism, check out the group’s profile here on the Freedom Center’s Discover the Network website.
It relates the origins, development, funding sources and connections, and activities of SJP including the campus staging of Israeli Apartheid Week designed to portray Israelis as genocidal oppressors.
That annual campaign includes students simulating the rape or killing of pregnant Palestinian women by Israeli soldiers, the establishment of mock checkpoints where the SJP harasses passing students, the placement of fake eviction notices on the dormitory doors of Jewish students, the display of “Apartheid” walls bearing images and text accusing Israeli Jews of genocide, and the harassment of Jewish students.
The Discover the Network profile further notes that support for terrorist groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades has been common at SJP chapters across the United States, and that some chapters hold annual commemorations for the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood.
And yet the response of campus newspapers to the posters so far has been, not to investigate these actions and connections, but to circle the wagons around Students for Justice in Palestine.
SJP students routinely chant, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”; they cheer for the destruction of Israel and the mass murder of Jews.
The same group has hosted SJP co-founder Hatem Bazian, who allegedly raised money for Hamas, Taher Herzallah, who said that Hamas rockets “are an oppressed people’s cry for help,” and Alison Weir, who trafficked in blood libels, according to Daniel Greenfield of FrontPageMag.com.
There has been widespread support for SJP by university media and authorities.
The University of Virginia paper’s response to the controversy was typical: it described SJP as “an organization advocating for human rights” and quoted SJP President Yahiya Saad as asserting that it is a humanitarian organization – no mention whatsoever of SJP’s radical activism, proving that serious journalism is dead and that SJP wields considerable nationwide influence on our nation’s campuses.
The photos are factual. They are samples of how Palestinians interpret justice.

At least 4000 dogs are thought to have died from eating PURINA Beneful kibble with toxic ingredients
A class action lawsuit alleges a mold byproduct used in kibble is leading pets to agonizing deaths from internal bleeding, diarrhea, seizures, and liver malfunction.
It was first thought that the additive propylene glycol, also used in antifreeze, was the culprit.
It's the same substance that caused the spiced whiskey Fireball to be recalled in Europe.
Food grade propylene glycol has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
Propylene glycol has been linked to toxicity, especially the type being alleged against Purina Beneful.
The lawsuit lawyer thinks there's another culprit in the mix, and he's name it in the lawsuit. It's called mycotoxins.
Translated directly from the Greek words for "fungus poison," mycotoxins are a toxic byproduct of mold found in grains.
Despite years of online allegations that one of the most popular dog food brands has been poisoning pets, it wasn’t until just weeks ago that the cat was let out of the bag in a court filing. A class action lawsuit was filed that blames the deaths of thousands of dogs on one of Purina’s most popular brands of chow.Googling Nestle Purina Petcare’s Beneful brand will get you the pet food manufacturer’s website, a Facebook page with over a million likes, and, in stark contrast, a Consumer Affairs page with 708 one-star ratings supported with page after grim page detailing dogs suffering slow, agonizing deaths from mysterious causes.Continue reading
Residents in Naples, Italy woke up two days ago to a massive sinkhole that opened up in the middle of a street. Officials say the sinkhole started off as a depression in the road and is most likely caused by a broken sewer.
In this case perhaps you can blame the 'anti-Israel activism mafia' that threatens celebrities themselves with isolation and loss of income unless they agree to join the boycott of Israel.
Many celebrities who have announced a visit to Israel have been forced to retract due to pressure put on them by that anti-Israel activism mafia.
Stephen Hawking needs to make paid appearances and write books to pay for the expensive equipment and care he needs to survive. As in the case of most people who can't afford to say no, it's BOYCOTT ISRAEL OR ELSE.
Eddie Redmayne at the Oscars ceremony
Stephen Hawking's life inspired a movie, The Theory of Everything, and actor Eddie Redmayne just won an Oscar for his portrayal of Mr Hawking.
Stephen Hawking certainly deserves many accolades for his scientific work, as well as for his courage in carrying on in spite of suffering from ALS, a crippling disease that has deprived him of movement and voice.
Mr Hawking communicates thanks to sophisticated technology made in Israel.
Since 1997, Hawking's computer-based system has been sponsored and provided by Intel. His latest computer is based on an Intel Core i7 Processor. The Core micro architecture was designed by Israel's Intel team that previously designed the Pentium M mobile processor.
The first mobile processor that used the Israeli designed chip was code named "Merom." Merom is the Hebrew word for a higher plane of existence or a level of heaven, and was a name chosen by the team in Haifa, Israel.
A couple of years ago Mr Hawking had been scheduled to attend a conference in Israel. However, he decided to join an ongoing boycott of Israel.
His decision highlighted the basic hypocrisy of those who call for the boycott of Israel, and yet do not hesitate to use the benefits - often life-saving benefits - of Israeli technology.
That is one part of the hypocrisy of the Boycott-Divest-Sanction (BDS) international movement aimed at demonizing and isolating Israel.
Stephen Hawking and bride (left), and Eddie Redmayne (right) in his portrayal of Hawking in the film The Theory of Everything.
There is another important component to their blatant hypocrisy.
The boycotters do not boycott merchandise made in countries that severely violate human rights, or countries engaged in wars, such as Britain and the US themselves - which have killed many more Arabs than Israel ever could.
This double set of hypocrisy exposes those calling for the boycott of Israel as blatantly anti-Semitic.
Because there is absolutely no other reason why anyone would single out Israel while giving a pass to despotic and oppressive countries such as China, Saudi Arabia - or to the Palestinians themselves, who advocate a viciously hateful and genocidal agenda against the Jews.
It is only the unfairly maligned Israeli military that prevents the Palestinians and their Muslim allies from massacring every single Jew in Israel.
Why are "progressives" supporting people with such genocidal ideology?
And why are they supporting the Muslim conqueror?
Israel has been Jewish for thousands of years. Until 1948 the land was under occupation, first by the Romans, then the Muslim invader, and then the British, after World War II. The war of 1967 liberated Jewish land that bears Biblical names such as Judea and Samaria. The Arabs occupiers originated from Saudi Arabia.
Why is the world demanding that Israel surrender the Jewish heartland to Islam? Because they just want to deprive Jews from having it. Even the Vatican and Protestant Churches would rather see the Holy Land in Muslim rather than Jewish hands - never mind that Muslims are massacring Christians in the Middle East and Africa, and Palestinians are driving the last Christians in the Palestinian Authority away. Israel is the only Middle East country where Christians enjoy freedom and safety.
There is something disgustingly immoral and perverse in persecuting Jews for two thousand years, to the point of genocide - and then demonizing the survivors and their descendants descendants for daring to reclaim their own ancient land.
These are clear notions that anyone with an average intelligence - and someone like Stephen Hawking with a brilliant mind - should be able to understand.
But perhaps they do understand them. It is only that their hatred against the Jews is so irrational that it overrides all moral and intellectual considerations.
As a large majority of them have indulged for decades in embracing leftist causes - while slowly distancing themselves from Israel - they are now confronting a new America that hates them with virulence, and pushes them aside.
Their children and grandchildren face daily violence and ostracism in American campuses, because they are Jews.
And yet, progressive American Jews are still in denial, steadfast in their loyalty to Democrat causes and to President Obama, the most anti-Israel US president in history.
Clueless and disconnected
Jewish Jon Stewart calls Hamas "freedom fighters" - The same Hamas that calls for the murder of Jews and the destruction of Israel.
Judaism itself is the basis of the best of traditional American values.
Jews have contributed in a disproportionate amount to advancements in science, technology, arts, and in the development of the United States. They have been profoundly patriotic and given their lives for their country during armed conflicts.
Jews have donated to countless institutions that are the cultural infrastructure of the nation. But invariably, over the years, they have turned their backs on Judaism and on Israel.
Today nearly 80% of Jews support president Obama and his agenda. When polled about their priorities, Israel does not even make the first ten items of American Jews' concerns. During the Nazi years American Jews endeavored to distance themselves from the plight of European Jews.
Concerned with not jeopardizing their status in America, they did not want to even give the impression of having double loyalties. So they remained silent. They did not flood the streets demanding asylum for their European brothers and sisters. They did not protest the Democrat government of F.D. Roosevelt's systematic denial of visas for Jews persecuted by the Nazis.
Now, as Israel faces another Holocaust at the hands of a nuclear Iran, or its partition and eventual dismantlement "in the name of peace," American Jews remain steadfastly loyal to the most anti-Israel US president in history.
That is not all. Many of them have embraced liberal causes that include pro-Palestinian advocacy - oblivious to the anti-Semitic ideology of Islam, and to the genocidal intentions of Palestinian Arabs in particular. Three times have the armies of Arab countries ganged up on tiny Israel with genocidal intentions - and yet, at least two thirds of American Jews support the partition of Israel for the creation of a terror Arab state that would mean the end of Israel.
Truth Revolt:
American Jews voted 78 percent for Obama in 2008, and 69 percent in 2012. Why do Jews vote leftist? The answer is simple: the vast majority of Jews don’t care about Judaism or Israel. They care about secular leftism, which is their religion.
So, what does being Jewish mean to most Jews? According to the Pew poll, 73 percent of Jews said it was about remembering the Holocaust. Just 19 percent said it was about observing Jewish law, and only 28 percent said it was about being part of a Jewish community. Jews, in other words, are not religious. Just 30 percent of Jews say they are very attached to Israel.
And the emotional gap between American Jews and Israel grows as US Jews assimilate, intermarry, and disappear into the melting pot.
But now a completely unexpected element has been thrown into this picture:
Hating Israel and the Jews on campus is considered cool.
The children and grandchildren of liberal Jews are being harassed, hated, persecuted, and even assaulted on campus. Because of being Jews. It's not only students that participate in anti-Semitic behavior, but professors as well - many of them imports from Muslim countries.
At the same time the media and political organizations raise the level of anti-Semitic rhetoric.
All thanks, in part, to this administration's immigration policies that have encouraged Muslim legal and illegal immigration, along with the president's open endorsement of Islamic causes and ideology, in tandem with his relentless condemnation of Israel.
Will Jews ever learn?
Jews went through this once before in Russia, when they embraced Communism as a liberating ideology that would free them from everything that had made them the target of pogroms and discrimination. They would be comrades, equal to everyone, valued for their loyalty to the Marxist cause. But it did not take long for the Russian Communist Party to turn on the Jews as well.
Well, they thought that America would be different. And it seemed so for a while. Barriers between Gentiles and Jews began to dissolve. Jews could live anywhere, even join exclusive Gentile clubs. They became advisors to the president, Congressmen, presidents of important institutions.
It seemed too good to be true, and it was.
Jews no longer welcome or safe in Obama's America.
Gone is even the pretence of civilized academic dialogue.
