Footage emerges of Israeli wedding guests celebrating death of Palestinian baby
Broadcast on Israeli television Wednesday evening, it shows one masked youth holding up a Molotov cocktail while another stabs a photo of Ali Dawabsha, the Palestinian baby killed in a firebomb attack on his family home in the occupied West Bank village of Duma last summer.

The video, which is believed to have been recorded a week ago, was aired on Israeli TV last night and showed young wedding guests dancing with guns and knives during the party in Jerusalem.
Nearly daily stabbings, shootings and car-rammings by Palestinians have killed 20 Israelis and a U.S. citizen since October.
Three members of the Dawabshe family – Ali, 18 months, and his parents, Saad and Riham – were killed.
The infant’s parents later died from severe burns, leaving their four-year-old child Ahmad as the sole survivor of the attack.
Police said Thursday that they were investigating the “many serious offenses” seen in the video.
“Paramilitary border policewomen saw terrorists armed with knives stabbing a man”, Israeli police spokeswoman Luba Samri said.
Underlining the intimate connections between those suspected of the Dawabshe murder and the wedding guests, it was also revealed that an hour before the wedding and filming took place, the lawyers representing the murder suspects had held a press conference in the same function hall, but the scene changed drastically at the wedding. A spokeswoman for Shaare Zedek Medical Centre said a third person with gunshot wounds had also died.
“I support the clear moral position voiced by the political leadership and the Israeli public, their firm stand against incitement, and their support for the security service personnel”, Rivlin continued, drawing support for Israel’s police forces who have come under protests in recent days by extremists.
But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has defended the Shin Bet’s methods as lawful and said the wedding video was proof of the need to spare no effort in curbing violent Jewish zealots.
Gillon said that far-right extremists such as those now in detention for their suspected involvement in the Duma firebombing in July are “a professional underground in every regard”. These attacks are carried out by extremist settlers against Palestinian residents of the West Bank in retaliation to the Israeli government’s actions against illegal Jewish settlements. They are taking me apart, bending my whole back, laughing and looking at me with contempt. The hell with it, what am I supposed to do?
“That kind of twisted dancing with pictures of a baby who was murdered in his sleep reflects a risky ideology that has lost all traces of humanity”, said Bezalel Smotrich, an MP with the Bayit Yehudi party, according to the Post.

The sad and imbecilic video was filmed at the wedding of a couple who is “very well known in the radical right”, and is reportedly friends with the accused murderers of the toddler and his family.
