Netanyahu seeks to impose a new reality at Al-Aqsa
Since a boy named David slew the giant Goliath with a slingshot, the stone has served as an enduring symbol of how the weak can defeat an oppressor.
For the past month Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has tried to rewrite the Bible story by declaring war on what he terms Palestinian “terrorism by stones”.
There are echoes of Yitzhak Rabin’s response nearly 30 years ago when, as defence minister, he ordered soldiers to “break bones” to stop a Palestinian uprising, often referred to as the “intifada of stones”, against the Israeli occupation.http://www.jonathan-cook.net/2015-10-05/netanyahu-seeks-to-impose-a-new-reality-at-al-aqsa/#sthash.xSWzAjZC&st_refDomain=&st_refQuery=
