IDF troops fleeing protesters

A video showing IDF soldiers fleeing a stone-throwing mob in the West Bank village of Kafr Qaddum has gotten much attention in the media in recent days, but the Palestinian residents don't seek to fan the flames.



"We aren't talking about some kind of big victory for us here. We are against this label," said Murad Shtiwi, a resident of Kafr Qaddum who witnessed the incident. "This is nothing more than a moral victory.






"What were we victorious over, exactly?" he pondered. "We are up against an army that can kill us. We don't have the ability or the strength to confront the Israeli army."

They are clearly disappointed that no one was shot. That would have been a victory in their eyes.

I thought they loved to have stones thrown at them.

They keep going back for more.

Nah, philistines like death, they wouldn't have assembled cameras to record them getting martyred otherwise, of course.
