Yesha Council complains to police about Haaretz
In a column published Wednesday, Ha'aretz writer Amira Hass, who lives in the PA city of Ramallah, wrote, “Throwing stones is the right and the duty of anyone living under foreign rule.” Later in the column she termed rock-throwing “a metaphor for resistance.” Hass is the official Ha'aretz correspondent for what the newspaper labels the "occupied territories".
Hass, who also lived in Gaza for three years in contravention of Israeli law, wrote that arrests of rock throwers "is part of the role of the foreign occupation, no less than gunfire, torture during investigations, land theft... and discrimination in distribution of water."
Several recent rock attacks by Arabs targeting Israelis living in Judea and Samaria have caused serious injury. In the most serious case, a terrorist wounded a mother and three of her children, including a 3-year-old who was critically injured. All were rushed to the hospital, including the toddler who has since undergone numerous surgeries.
Hass’ column constitutes praise for violent rock attacks and gives such attacks legitimacy, Ro'eh and Shachner said in their complaint, adding that it ignores the dangers posed by such attacks.I do not understand why successive Israeli governments have allowed this woman to live in and report from the 'Palestinian' side. This is not the first time she and Israel's Hebrew 'Palestinian' daily have incited violence against Jews, nor is it likely to the last. Ironically, very few Israelis read Haaretz - it is one of the least read newspapers in the country. It's the international media that give Haaretz its power.

If I remember correctly, she was one of the few Israeli (sic) journalists allowed to ask BHO a question at the joint news conference 2 weeks ago with Bibi.
There are limits to free speech - this is not yelling 'fire' in a crowded theater. This is urging people to throw Molotov cocktails in a crowded theater. This is nothing less than incitement to murder. She should be criminally prosecuted. She should also be sued by anyone injured by stone-throwing over the next few months. Needless to say, her press card should be yanked. She's a political activist not a journalist.
There should be a press complaint and criminal charges filed against Ha'aretz for publishing this.
