From the online shop at Etsy called "PeaceParcels:"

These illustrious little earrings are made from marbles thrown at Israeli soldiers in Bethlehem. They were tenderly gathered off the streets and masterfully crafted into fashionable items. Now you can help carry the weight of military oppression wherever you go.

We do not support violence in any shape or form but neither do we want the struggle here to be forgotten. This is a nonviolent way to take something off the floor and continue to remind ourselves of the unheard voice of Palestinians.

We have already sold over 30 pairs to Palestinians and international visitors in Bethlehem at Christmas markets. Join the many women who have chosen to merge their fashion choices and political persuasions into one elegant decorative piece.
They helpfully promote a photo of a woman slinging a marble, which pretty much belies their claim to "not support violence in any shape or form":


Here's a more typical photo of someone slinging one of these future earrings in Bethlehem that does not involve a young women:


Israeli soldiers have been injured by these non-violent projectiles. Here's an article about one who had to be hospitalized after being hit in the neck with a marble.

The same shop also sells Christmas tree ornaments made from spent tear gas canisters.

UPDATE: The store owner stopped selling them, He wrote in the comments:
I decided to take down the earrings from the etsy store yesterday. I realized they don't convey the message of peace as much as I would like.
If you have any questions I'm happy to answer them. It seems a lot of assumptions and accusations are being made, and I hope you would all be fair and give me an opportunity to speak into them.


We are doing everything we can to fight for Israel with hard work, research and - above all - the truth. We need your help.

This blog may be a labor of love for me, but it takes a lot of effort, time and money. For over 19 years and 40,000 articles I have been providing accurate, original news that would have remained unnoticed. I've written hundreds of scoops and sometimes my reporting ends up making a real difference. I appreciate any donations you can give to keep this blog going.
