Another "Take" On That Stonethrowing Ambush at Ir David

The video of the terrorist charging a civilian passenger vehicle with a young child inside while in the process of throwing a stone at the driver, along with five other terrorists doing the same, and getting upended, made media waves and probably even vibrations (I don't mean to be be too crude, but I am sure there were some anti-Zionists and anti-Semites who reached a level of hate orgasm on this).

Let's reframe that picture.

Think this way:

The kids were actually Jews and the person in the car was a middle-level Palestinian Authority official returning from a visit to Rawabi.

Now, to turn a phrase, do you get the picture?

Would the media get the picture? (see this)

It's not the violence, for that seems to be permitted, to be photographed, for photojournalists to stand on the side and wait along with the terrorists to get a good shot (pardon the pun).

For the term "occupation" is the turn-rod on this.

If you are "occupied", almost all is permitted. Actually all, because the world wants us to negotiate with Hamas now.

Just one frame. One take.

UPDATE

Haaretz can't make up its mind.  "Allegedly"?:

What strikes me is that everyone is reporting that the car ran the kid over. That kid ran into the car!

Note that there are some wide-angle photos of the moment of impact, and they show that there were kids on all sides of the car. They were probably instructed to attack like that, otherwise the mob instinct would keep them all together. Of course that’s only “alleged,” as per Ha’aretz.

See the photo here: http://lennybendavid.com/2010/10/mohammed-dura-redux-another-attempt-at.html

The photo also shows that no matter which direction Be’eri drove to escape he would have hit a kid.
