I hope I am not off topic: But has Mondoweiss ever checked out the case of:
The Hares Boys

This is a fascinating topic. This is starting to take off on the internet.
Teens were arrested for throwing some stones at Israeli cars, and blamed for a major accident which caused injury to a young Israeli girl.
19 were rounded up, 5 are being held.
Even if the 5 boys are guilty, 19 were rounded up. Some were eventually let go but only after quite some grilling. It seems the Israelis set up a military dragnet and took out every teenager in the nearby Arab town of Hares (Salfit) within a certain age group.
Some of the stones thrown at the Israeli cars were enormous; so I can understand Israeli outrage.

Pro-Israeli groups want vengence

I am just interested what your spin is.
My own view: Some of the Hares boys were probably involved, but I doubt all 5 were.
Okay, so a panel in NY discusses ‘Arab-Israeli relations’ in Israel/Palestine. I keep on wondering about the use of ‘Arab’, even though obviously talking about Palestinians. Why not discuss Palestinian-Israeli relations? Or even Levantine-Israeli relations?
