"I do believe that, where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence....I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honour than that she should, in a cowardly manner, become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonour." -- M. K. Gandhi
It is easy enough to see how a Palestinian child who is being raised under a brutal military occupation might resort to stone-throwing to defend not just the honor but the lives of the people they love. Especially when the adults around them who have the discipline to maintain a non-violent stance against the might of an Army are taken away from them and sent to Israeli prisons.
Shame on Israel and shame on the U.S. government who supports them.
