EU's Ashton declares 'Palestinian' stone throwing 'non-violent'
Something tells me that Baroness Catherine Ashton has never had a stone thrown at her while she was driving or otherwise. If she'd had the experience, she wouldn't be making stupid statements like this one (Hat Tip: Aaron Lerner). "The High Representative is very concerned by the conviction of Bassem Tamimi in an Israeli military court on 20 May 2012 on charges of taking part in illegal demonstrations and of soliciting protesters to throw stones.That's right folks. In the warped world of Baroness Catherine Aston, throwing stones is non-violent.
The EU considers Bassem Tamimi to be a 'human rights defender' committed to non-violent protest against the expansion of an Israeli settlement on lands belonging to his West Bank village of Nabi Saleh. The EU attended all court hearings in his case and is concerned at the use of evidence based on the testimony of a minor who was interrogated in violation of his rights.
The EU believes that everyone should be able to exercise their legitimate right to protest in a nonviolent manner."
I'm sure that's what the law says in England, right?

This I have to remember and use as evidence in any discussions about riots here in Europe. We can't be racists and say that only jews are valid targets for stone throwing protests. All Europeans of every background should be valid targets then.
