I don't get why the US and Israel don't put more pressure on Hamas to stop teaching kids to kill people. The issue needs to be raised and communicated far more widely. Disgraceful too to see some Americans defending a terrorist org like this.

Celebrating all those firemen dying, trying to save other people. Celebrating death.

These days, the news stations would probably hide or downplay the footage, saying they won't show the videos because of anti muslim sentiment.

But we were a lot more rational back then and we didn't worry about such silliness. If it is caught on video, it's news. None of that other nonsense matters, the people have a right to see it.
I remember that too. Palestinians dancing in the streets over the fact that Islamic terrorists murdered 3,000 Americans.

The terrorist nation Israel is attacking innocent civilians again:

The reasons Palestinians celebrated is because the US has been propping up an Israeli mandate in their homeland and killing their children.

If Palestine did even half of what America does to them to us American will be demanding whole scale slaughter. Comparably the Palestinians are pretty civilized.

I was working in a hospital in Paterson, NJ on that day, so I got to see it first hand when I left the hospital. After a long day of hearing about and watching the horrific events happening just 20 miles away from us, it was surreal to drive a block away from the hospital and have to slow down to 5mph so I wouldn't hit any of the people partying in the street. There is a large Palestinian population there, but there is also a big Middle Eastern population in general in that neighborhood.

When I went back to work the next morning, for a little while, there were probably more people talking about the celebrators, than the actual terrorist act.

Sounds like a problem for Palestine and Israel to wrk out. This is really none of our business. If the UN and the world body wants to get involved then so be it. WE will provide 1/193 rd support, which is all we should be providing financially as well. 193 member nations, we shouldn't be paying more than 193rd of the bill.

Palestine fired on Israel hoping to get the very predictable response. Israel for all their faults absolutely will retaliate if you kill even 1 Israeli citizen. Must be nice to have a government that has your back.

That said none of our business. Let the combatants work it out.

If Americans are so horrible, why do you stay here?

I gotta hand it to you. I think this is the first time I've ever seen the words "Palestinian" and "civilized" used in the same sentence.

And the reason is, they are not civilized. Not in the least. They are barbarians. They delight in killing Israelis. All they know is hatred and anger. The "world community," for reasons completely beyond my understanding, keep on giving them things. And they keep on destroying them. When Israel evacuated its settlements from the Gaza Strip, they left behind a bunch of greenhouses with which the new residents could have grown more crops. But nope, they stripped them clean within days. We gave them an airport, and they used it to launch attacks against Israel, so Israel was forced to destroy it. And so the cycle goes, again and again and again.

The fact is, if the Palestinians stopped fighting today, there would be peace. But if the Israelis stopped fighting today, they'd be thrown into the Mediterranean Sea tomorrow.

Now imagine being a Palestinian and having 9/11 happen to you everyday:
https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/11/middl...ntl/index.html

And they look at people in America like AnesthesiaMD cheerleading their death and they learn to hate Americans.

Justifiably.

Oh, yes Gaza, the place Israel still holds military operations, blockades, and does not allow for basic fishing.

Western nations stole Palestinian land for Jews, the Jews enforced their own laws forcibly evicting Palestinians, starving and degrading them.

And then when they fight back Americans yell "MONSTER" and send billions of dollars so the Israelis can pummel them into dust.

No wonder Palestinians hate Americans.

So they should celebrate our death? How does this justify teaching their kids to kill Jews?
