Although it happens every time, it’s always jarring to see videos and images of Palestinians celebrating the deaths of Israelis killed in terror attacks.
The celebration and distribution of candies on the streets occur even when those killed are civilians, such as the celebration in Jordan over the murder of three Israeli fathers and grandfathers in the shooting attack at the Allenby Crossing on Sunday. The celebrations take place even when the victims include women and children.
Twenty-three years ago, Palestinains celebrated on the street on September 11, rejoicing at the deaths of almost 3,000 Americans.
The Democratic party seems to have forgotten the jarring images. Some of President Biden’s first actions as president was to increase funding to the Palestinian Authority to the tune of millions of dollars and beg Iran, the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism, to resume nuclear deal talk and release tens of billions of dollars to the mullahs.

I remember the Arabs in East Jerusalem celebrating that day. One of Trump’s many lies was when he said that they were in New Jersey.
They were in new york
Actually, a lot has changed.
23 years ago, most Americans were outraged by this tape.
Today, most Americans sympathize with the celebration in the west bank that day.
By the way, one of the catalysts for the Gaza withdrawal, was 9.11
Why shouldn’t they celebrate. 9-11 was one of their greatest triumphs (and note the conflict finally ended with the American capitulation in Afghanistan).
We celebrate our victories (e.g. Yom ha-Atzmaut in honor of the defeat of the British, Yom Yerushalayim in honor the reconquest of the Old City).
The Arabs were celebrating all over the US!
Want more of that? Just vote Democrat. Chalila they should win
Now check out the “Dancing Israelis”. This kind of thing is stupid and achieves nothing. For every example Jews can bring of egregious “Arab” behavior, the world can find two of bad Jewish actions. E.g. see recent social media stuff about THE TALMUD.
How is it possible to compare the story of an alleged 5 people about whom a single observer reported for (and this is a quote) “puzzling behavior” to actual objective videos of masses of people openly celebrating.
