-'''Palestinian stone-throwing''' refers to a Palestinian practice of [[Criminal rock throwing|throwing stones]] at people or property. It is a tactic with both a symbolic and military dimension when used against heavily armed troops. While stone throwing is a form of violence, the majority of Palestinian youths engaged in the practice appear to regard it as symbolic and non-violent, given the disparity in power and equipment between the Israeli forces and the Palestinian stone-throwers, with many considering it a method of deterring Israeli military forces and civilians from the occupation of Palestinian lands. In Israel it is considered criminal because it is potentially lethal, and it is argued that in some cases it should be treated as a form of [[terrorism]], or that, in terms of the psychology of those who hurl stones, it is intrinsically aggressive.
