Well, they’ll stone you and say that it’s the end.
Then they’ll stone you and then they’ll come back again.
They’ll stone you when you’re riding in your car.
They’ll stone you when you’re playing your guitar.
Yes, but I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
-- Bob Dylan (in case you didn't know)
No way am I trying to make light of this incident. It's quite serious. Thankfully, they missed.
As a matter of fact, re-reading the lyrics to this song, it strikes me just how accurately they all seem to describe Israel's predicament in the world today.
Well, they’ll stone ya when you’re trying to be so good,
They’ll stone ya just a-like they said they would.
They’ll stone ya when you’re tryin’ to go home.
Then they’ll stone ya when you’re there all alone.
Yeah, right. Ain't that the truth.

Update: OceanGuy points out that Dylan, in his (relatively) later years, has penned some much more direct and intentional references to the same dilemma.
