The next person who suggests to me that Palestinian protests are inherently peaceful will be subject to this level of peace and tolerance.

That's a pretty big (and lethal) sized "rock".

The Peace Rock.
The Rock of Love.

Looks to me like they're throwing the rock onto the roadblock, not at anyone or anything in particular.

Of course, some of the OTHER shots of this same protest reiterate my original point—which means that I won't be pulling out my Snidely Whiplash today, thank Heavens:

1, 2, 3, 4.
