I can say with certainty that for at least 4 decades, orthodox Jewish Israelis have been throwing stones at their secular neighbors  ​who dwell amongst them when they are offended by religious laws being broken. That
especially is true when drivers hit the roads on shabbos and other holidays. Women who dress fashionably can also be targets. Will this strict new approach toward stone throwers affect the ​r​eligious Jewish modern-​day King Davids​?

I doubt it. If laws are applied differently to different segments of a population, that is a form of Apartheid or Jim Crow.
