I think it's called karma, so too freaking bad.

"And for you to claim that the rockets are being fired over internationally recognized borders is hilarious. Israel currently occupies Palestinian land and has expanded well beyond even the '67 borders. The UN and international community does not recognize this land grab. So you are way off on this point."

WOW. For someone who claims to know about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, and to have been born in the Middle East, you know precious little about the geography. Sderot, the village which has suffered the greatest casualties and civilian deaths from Qassam rockets fired by Hamas, is well with in the '67 borders, AKA the Green Line, also known as the internationally recognized borders of Israel proper.

I'd take you to task on your other points, but the more you write the more obvious it becomes that you're full of shit and really know absolutely nothing about what you're talking about. Which is a shame, because if it's one thing both the Palestinians and the Israelis need, it's cool, level-headed people who actually know what they're talking about and are serious about finding a peaceful and fair resolution to the conflict.

Oh well. Enjoy ranting like a lunatic over on the far left. True progress was only ever achieved when people acted with humility, wisdom and intelligence. Too bad you have none of that.

Not that I really care to get into a history or geographical debate with someone online whom I don't know, nor care about, but the entire State of Israel, or what you call Israel Proper, is occupied Palestinian land. Now, before you interpret this as a "wipe israel off the map" scenario, I'll let you know that I support a one state solution whereby all people, jewish, arab, etc live there with equal governmental representation. It is the only solution which in rooted in democracy, equality, and justice. At this point, the "wipe Palestine off the map" scenario has been the modus operandi ever since the creation of the State of Israel, and it's time call a spade a spade. Let the Jews stay, as well as the Palestinians. And in order for that to occur, the State of Israel must dissolve to include palestinians. It's about time people discuss this scenario, because that is really the only way justice and peace is possible.

The only correct thing you wrote is that there is no need to continue this debate. We obviously don't agree, never will, and we furthermore don't need to. So, with that, I say good riddance.

Didn't something similar happen when a tourist from T.O. get mugged and vowed to never return to New York and Fox5 gave her the star treatment all the while taking place during the 2003 Blackout. I don't know how I remember these things but I forget where I put a large yellow book a week ago. sigh.

Why is the bigoted liberal media (that's you, Gothamist) implying that this is an anti-semitic act of hate? Kids are always throwing crap off a bridge, they do it for kicks cause they're bored, it's unlikely they knew who was riding in the car when the stones hit.

Once again the media tries to create the news by inciting racial hysteria.

And if the lady solider is so traumatized and terrified of NYC because of a kids' prank maybe she should find another line of work?

It's all because society says we can't spank our kids anymore. They grow up not knowing the meaning of fear and pain, just their mothers' nasally voices, "Justin, stop that; don't do that anymore Justin; put the rock down Justin or I'll count to three..."

I've seen certain black parents who hit their kids for no good reason. Maybe the kid is giggling too much or is too talkative. Or verbally abuse them with "you so stupid". The parents are like "see, I know how to discipline my kids"; while everyone else in the subway car is thinking "what psychopaths!".

She and her family should have been riding bicycles around town...

Maybe they should give her and the kids a bag of goodies, like the frenchies who had the terror ride from hell and that should make it all better, no?

Misleading headline. They didn't throw a rock at an Israeli soldier, they threw a rock at a taxi that happened to be carrying an Israeli soldier.

Bunch of pricks without nothing else to do.

A high school classmate of mine was killed a year after graduation in a similar incident - large rock thrown off an overpass into her windshield. They never caught the person(s) who did it. This kind of "prank" really isn't so funny.

I agree, not a funny 'prank' at all. But Karma is a bitch.

Wow, that is such a genuinely scummy thing you say. You really are a despicable human being, way to go

Huh?

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure he's not saying that the friend got hit because her karma was bad...that's a pretty far-out reading of the comment.

Rather, what he's saying is that while the people who did it were not caught, karma is a bitch...so they'll get theirs eventually -- even if it's not until they're pulling a three-way with Satan and Saddam in hell.

If she's scared stiff from this incident, I wonder what her response would be if they threw white phosphorous at her.

Yeah! I mean if she's this scared now imagine how scared she would be if they suicide bombed her wedding

Or if they kidnap her brothers and other family members (including children under the age of 10). Or fire DIME explosives upon her and her family. Or demolish her house, deny her basic human rights, force her to live under military occupation, regularly beat and detain her family, not allow medicine or food to get to her and her family, and commit countless other atrocities against her.

Oh wait, she is a chosen one. Nevermind.

"Or if they kidnap her brothers and other family members..."

Like Gilad Shalit?

"regularly beat and detain her family..."

Like Hamas does to Palestinian civilians they suspect of "collaborating" with Israel?

Oh wait, I'm making sense. Nevermind.

How many Israeli Prisoners are there? And how many Palestinian prisoners are there? I'd love to see you generate that list, including names. Because as far as I know, you just completed the Israeli one.

One Israeli prisoner (who was, incidentally, a Soldier) in no way negates the thousands of Palestinian ones (the majority of whom are uncharged civilians, including children).

Additionally, just because Hamas commits crimes against their own people and Israelis does not give Israel the right to commit crimes against the Palestinians. I'm sick of the Israeli government and apologists like yourself who turn a blind eye to the enormous list of Israeli oppression and criminal acts against Palestinians by redirecting the focus to Hamas. Sorry, it doesn't work that way. Hamas are terrorists. And the State of Israel even more so. Apartheid, racism, categorical and systematic oppression can only be propogandized for so long. It's time for you to deal with reality, because the world is catching on.
