If the Palestinians were on the street cheering on the streets of Gaza after 9/11 and the Boston Marathon bombings, do you really think he would admit it ? Honestly Coyote
I was interested in BiK's view on being a Palestinian and how this imagery effects him, not "seeing Palestinians celebrating".
I think that the article on the Palestinians dancing in the streets after the Boston Marathon bombing is pretty much debunked - there is absolutely no proof, no attributed quotes, and the picture used wasn't even of that supposed event.
Let me ask you - honestly - if you subsituted "Jews" for "Palestinians" would you not be skeptical of such a sketchy article?
No, because I already know that many Palestinians in Gaza cheer death. How many times have we seen them cheer after a successful suicide bombing ? I saw plenty of clips when I was in Israel during the second intifada on the news.
Again, I am not saying EVERY Palestinian, but if I were to guess, I would say a large percentage of Palestinians in Gaza are genuinely happy when innocent Americans and Israelis are killed. Take it anyway you want, but that's just how I see it Coyote
There is a difference between Palestinian's cheering suicide bombings in what they consider to be a war against occupation (I'm not arguing the right and wrong of that) and cheering in general bombings around the world.
There is no evidence in that article that the claims are true - none. And if someone is perpetrating that, without evidence - then you have to ask what is their agenda?
What real evidence do you have that a large number of Palestinians are "genuinely happy" when Americans are bombed? REAL evidence?
