40. I want to know why you claimed cutting an illegally placed fence
was an act of "violence". It seems downright preposterous to say that.

Yes, the throwing of the rocks by these kids is not pacifistic, but first, that is discouraged by the protest organizers, and secondly, it is not as violent as the Hebron settlers, who throw rocks at unarmed, unprotected, children, old people, internationals (hebron settlers never have to face rubber bullets...or arrest and conviction, or anything more than a pat on the back).... these Palestinian kids are throwing rocks at suited occupation army, that represents a much greater violence... these soldiers are part of the system that is destroying their village. You don't think people have a right to self-defense?

You expect flowers?
