Re: Aren't we going to DEMAND that they put the checkpoints back before somebody gets killed? If it means going to court, suing, so be it. But SOMETHING has to be done NOW!!! Who can handle this? Anybody???

DS replied: SHmuel,

Theoretically your idea would be good. Just two caveats:

1.Stones thrown while driving are not accurate, and opening the window for that matter only endangers the passengers even more ( don't forget that we all have stone-proof plastic/glass installed on our cars).

2. Knowing the JUSTICE of the authorities here, what would happen is that EVERYBODY would get arrested, the Arabs released immediately - or not caught "by accident"", while the Jews would have lengthy legal proceedings leading to prison sentences ranging from 5-15 years in prison for attempted murder.

I am not sure that considering this, throwing stones back is the right answer, but then, I am a woman, and women are notorious chickens when it comes to real battle!

That said, the self-manned checkpoints are really the best answer yet. HOW TO????

Jewish response.

Rock thrown must be answered in kind. 

Those rocks are not meant to cause "fatal accidents" but meant to murder.

One person was murdered by a rock during the 2002 revolt in the costal highway.

 

HOW TO:

We used to make pretty niftily slingshots many years back using heavy car inner tubes

rubber strips and as projectiles alluvial stones or ball bearings.  For a few shekels those

can be made now as well.  And they are effective. Ask Goliath... ;)

At 25 to fifty meters those things could easily drop a horse.

I presume that stone throwing arm could also be rendered unusable for many months.

 

Jews must, simply must...

Set up our own CHECKPOINTS and have the people trained for self defense.

Rock Throwing Spreads, One Injured

30 Shevat 5768, 06 February 08 04:21

(IsraelNN.com) Arab stone throwers, hoping to cause a fatal accident, escalated their attacks throughout Judea and Samaria Wednesday, causing widespread damage and injuring at least one person lightly near the community of Aleh Zahav. The driver was treated by medics who arrived at the scene and was not hospitalized.

Several vehicles were damaged on Highway 60 between Kiryat Arba/Hevron and Jerusalem, and on the highway between Kfar Saba and the communities of Ginot Shomron and Kedumim. Both highways have been plagued by stone throwing for several months, but "good will" measures by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert have limited the number of checkpoints on the highways.
