Shocking video shows Israeli extremists celebrating Palestinian Child’s death
Prime Minister Netanyahu slammed its contents, saying, “The shocking images broadcast tonight show the true face of a group that constitutes a threat to Israeli society and Israel’s security”.

Israel’s Security Agency (Shin Bet) is investigating the arson attack that left Ali’s mother, Reham, 27 and father, Sa’ad, 31, dead after succumbing to burn wounds.
At the wedding in a West Bank settlement, settlers waved knives and guns in the air while singing “we will take revenge on the Palestinians”. At least 120 Palestinians have died by Israeli fire in the same period, including 82 said by Israel to be attackers.
Since mid-September, near-daily Palestinian stabbing, shooting and car-ramming attacks have killed 20 Israelis and an American student.
The boy and his parents died when their home in the village of Duma in the occupied West Bank was set ablaze in July in an incident Israeli officials described as “Jewish terrorism”.
Had Israeli authorities treated Jewish terrorists the way they have been treating Arab freedom fighters, they could have prevented many of these acts of murder, arson and vandalism.
Tzohar, Israel’s Modern Orthodox rabbinic association, concurred, calling on “all rabbis, political leaders and educators and all those who claim to represent these extremist evildoers to condemn their actions and positions in all ways possible and work to expel them from our midst”.
One Palestinian witness, Suhail Hamed, 39, said the police opened fire when the auto was 150 metres (yards) away from them. Lawyers have alleged torture of suspects by the domestic security agency, Shin Bet. “The evil ideology of price tag is not the path of religious Zionism”, said Bezalel Smotrich of the Jewish Home party.
Israeli newspaper columnists compared those involved to both Hamas and Isis, among them Ariela Ringel-Hoffman in Yedioth Ahronoth. “That surreal dance with the picture of the baby who was murdered in his sleep represents a unsafe ideology and a loss of humanity”.
The incidents were the latest in a three month-long wave of Israeli-Palestinian violence and came as revelers were gathering in the West Bank city of Bethlehem for Christmas celebrations.
The Judea and Samaria Police said that an investigation was launched several days ago “into the many serious offenses displayed in the wedding video”, Ynet reported on Thursday.
Three Palestinian men were shot dead today as they tried to carry out a series of attacks on Israeli soldiers and security guards in the West Bank.

Although a number of settlers have been detained following the attack, no one has been charged yet – nearly half a year later. But the Palestinians say it’s the result of a lack of hope from almost 50 years of Israeli occupation.
