Five Jewish children ages 9-11 were taken into custody on Wednesday night the eve of 22 Iyar 5773 near Yishuv Bat Ayin in Gush Etzion. The children allegedly took part in rock-throwing attacks against Arab vehicle traveling the area roadways. Authorities reported apprehending them in the act. One of the children, a sixth, appears to be older, albeit a minor.
Shai Police officials turned to the parents to take responsibility for the children. The oldest in the group will face criminal proceedings. A number of vehicles were damaged. No one was injured.

Arabs – both children and adults – who throw rocks at Jews are never in the news unless someone is murdered or severely maimed. Dog bites man – no headline. But when man bites dog – newsworthy.
Why is it that they get apprehended, but when Arabs (who are the same age and older) we don’t seem to care?
what’s the big deal some “harmless ” rocks
No. 1: If Arab rock-throwing is never in the news, how do I, sitting in New York, know about it?
Because you heard about it when someone was either murdered or maimed,
