From news article:

Today's Column One, front-page story at the Los Angeles Times features "Palestinians who see nonviolence as their weapon," as the headline puts it. The subhead reads: "Mohammed Khatib and his West Bank supporters hope to rally others to a peaceful campaign for statehood. But fellow Palestinians seem largely indifferent, and Israel's army is not amused." The article, by correspondent Richard Boudreaux, goes on to describe the weekly protests at the West Bank town of Bilin, involving Palestinians, international activist, and Israelis, as follows:

Every Friday, Mohammed Khatib's forces assemble for battle with the Israeli army and gather their weapons: a bullhorn, banners B and a fierce belief that peaceful protest can bring about a Palestinian state.
A few hundred strong, they march to the Israeli barrier that separates the tiny farming community of Bilin from much of its land. They chant and shout. A few teenagers throw stones.

How exactly is stone-throwing, which has led to the injury of more than 100 soldiers and border policemen in the first half of 2009, "peaceful" and "nonviolent," adjectives repeatedly applied to the Bilin events? And is it true that stone-throwing is limited to a few teenagers?
