Support for Israel is always appreciated. However, it should be noted that Jews and Israelis strive to rise above the same tactics employed by their enemies, including those present at this particular demonstration. The list of "proposed punishments" far exceeds anything that we would ever approve of, much less implement, for these reprobates. Further, the mere suggestion by supporters of Israel of such activities invariably backfires, and provides her enemies more fodder for their anti-Semitic attacks and propaganda machine. As Rabbi Hillel teaches us, "If I am not for myself, who will be for me, BUT, IF I AM ONLY FOR MYSELF, WHAT AM I?, and if not now, when?
This reminder works to keep our focus on humanity as a whole, a hallmark of the Israeli government and Jews that is evidenced by their continual extension of an open hand in peace and aid to her enemies in times of need.
Homicide bombers?
You mean the kind that fly over iraq daily with the stars and chickenshit stripes on the feuselage?

I would e-mail you directly but for the obviously fake and not subtle "moore rules" wording in "your" e-mail address.
