Israel seizes shipment of Palestinian dolls holding rocks


JERUSALEM — Israeli customs officials seized a shipment of 4,000 stuffed dolls designed as Palestinian rock-throwers that was en route this week to the Palestinian Authority from the United Arab Emirates.
The dolls were confiscated as Israelis have been targets of attacks during the past two months by Palestinians using rocks, knives and guns. The Israeli government denounced the dolls as a way to teach Palestinian children to “hate and kill Israelis,” spokesman Ofir Gendelman told USA TODAY on Wednesday.
