- The Knesset passed a bill Monday that would see people who throw stones at civilian vehicles sent to prison for up to 10 years, without having to prove harmful intent in their actions.
Originally drafted by ex-Justice Minister Tzipi Livni of the centrist Hatnua party and later completed by her successor Ayelet Shaked of the right-wing Jewish Home party, the bill allows for a maximum incarceration period of 20 years if it can be proven the throwers intended to inflict harm.
Yikes. This is a really bad, aggressive policy and I'm surprised it was drafted by Tzipi, who is heads the supposedly progressive party, Hatnuah.
