Justice Minister (Bayit Yehudi) is getting down to business and she is pushing a law that will significantly increase the punishment for convicted rock-throwers.
Her bill presented to the Ministerial Law Committee would carry a prison term of ten years for throwing rocks and unlike the current law, it would not differentiate between one who throws a rock out of protest or one who throws a rock with the intention to kill. The current law carries a maximum prison term of up to 20 years.
Shaked’s bill also differentiates between targeting civilians and civilian vehicles as opposed to law-enforcement personnel and vehicles, with the latter carrying an even more serious punishment.

Tge picture shows Arabs but the bill is aimed at the chareidi crowed.
they should shoot to kill them when they throw rocks!
#1 faker: No, this bill is intended for Arabs. The chareidim don’t throw rocks.
