Sticks and stones break bones

Re the international outcry against Israel's "disproportionate" response, if a person throws a stone at you with the clear intention of injuring or killing you, are you forbidden to defend yourself just because the weapon you use is a gun? Isn't a stone embedded in the brain just as deadly as a bullet?


Re Gaza War updates, I copied this from Ezzie's blog, because he phrased it so well:
"Just . . . a reminder . . . : Jameel & Aussie Dave are live-blogging everything from Israel (with some assistance from friends to keep it going 24 hours a day). Jack is rounding up posts and articles from all over consistently (usually twice a day). The IDF Spokesperson puts out official summaries and videos here and there. And it's worthwhile to plug an amazing blog: An Israeli Soldier's Mother.
