He is overwhelmed.\n\nBut they threw rocks.\n\nA family sits down to celebrate a holiday together when a bomb is dropped on their house. Eid Mubarak.\n\nBut they threw rocks.\n\nHundreds arrested to never be seen again, hundreds more ripped from their homes and tossed into the streets to die.\n\nBut they threw rocks.\n\nA city burns for days under a relentless wave of firebombs; no one can flee. Trapped by walls ever closing in; efficiency in cruelty disguised as bureaucracy.\n\nBut they threw rocks.\n\nHospitals and houses of worship destroyed; no where is safe and no where is sacred and no war crime is too extreme.\n\nBut they threw rocks.\n\nChildren dead. Medics scour the rubble to collect enough pieces of babies so their parents have something to bury.\n\nBut they threw rocks.\n\nWhy did they have to throw those damn rocks?"
