Posted on today’s on-line edition of The Electronic Intifada is a video of an IDF patrol back in Abu Dis, yesterday, Friday April 19th, and using a handcuffed Palestinian teenager as a shield as they walk down the street towards a group of youths who were throwing stones.  When they get close, they fire at the youths, still holding the teenager prominently in the front row, as a guarantee against retaliation.

For more on stone-throwing, you can find two remarkable interviews with Amira Hass on Amy Goodman’s Democracy Now website from earlier this month.
