I am delighted that Freddie wants to make the flinging of a rock an ACT OF WAR. Muslims have been flinging rocks for more than 1000 years.
First I heard of this was at school.
There was some guy by the name of David.
Unusual as it seems for Israel, the bastard Israelites were trying to invade Gaza, and the locals didn't much like it - how terrible of them to attack an invading force, they must have been terrorists.
Some little wimp sheep shagger, sorry, farmer called David, used a slingshot with a rock so he didn't have to face an enemy in close quarters combat.
Israeli propaganda of the time twisted the story, making the coward Davis into a hero, but at least the Jew version of the story admitted the Israelis shit themselves at the thought of combat where they might lose.
Not a lot changes for Israel.
