In
this increasingly famous David vs. Goliath scene we see the brave
young Palestinian boy symbolically fighting an Israeli tank. Since
the Intifada of 1987 “shebab” have been taking on
the IDF. The stone throwers are called “shebab” or
“our boys” in Arabic. The Palestinians have no real
army while the Israeli army is the fourth most powerful in the
world thanks to decades of lavish US funding.
