“Palestinian” Muslims cheer as Gaza rockets fly toward Israeli population centers

Jul 14, 2014 8:35 am By Robert Spencer

Imagine what the international media reaction would be if Israelis were cheering as bombs fell in Gaza. But everyone expects this savagery from the “Palestinian” Muslims, and so it is not noteworthy — just don’t call it “savagery,” on pain of charges of “Islamophobia.”

“Palestinians in Hebron cheer as Gaza rockets fly toward Israeli population centers,” Reuters, July 13, 2014 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

West Bank Palestinians cheered on Saturday as Hamas militants fired the largest salvo of rockets yet on the Tel Aviv area since the start of the recent escalations.

Hamas claimed responsibility for 10 rockets that were launched at Tel Aviv on Saturday but which caused no casualties or damage.

Sirens sounded across central Israel as people rushed for cover from the rockets. One group of youths sitting at the beach cheered as they saw a rocket intercepted in the night sky. In Gaza, Palestinians stood at rooftops chanting Allah Akbar (God is great), cries that also echoed over mosque loudspeakers.

The Iron Dome defense system intercepted three of the rockets over greater Tel Aviv and another struck an open area.

Hamas had broadcast a televised statement an hour before the salvo to say it was preparing a major attack on Tel Aviv. The Israeli military said it bombed the rocket launcher used for the salvo.

Minutes before the salvo launched, Palestinians in the West Bank city of Hebron gathered at a lookout point. When what appeared to be rockets streaked across the night sky, they chanted and cheered.

“Today we have come to see the rockets hitting our cities occupied since 1948 and to see these moments of dignity and pride carried out by the resistance in Gaza,” said one resident. “I invite everyone to come and watch the rockets, in order to confirm that the Palestinians are not weak, the Palestinians are strong. But because of the betrayals, and all that has happened in the past, now we are opening a new page for the resistance and Hebron will be the spark,” said another.

Later on Saturday night, the IAF struck the home in Beit Lahia in northern Gaza which contained a launcher used in the attack on the metropolitan Tel Aviv area.

    These guys just can’t wait ’til they each get a long-range rocket launcher in their own homes. And a one-way ticket to Eternity.

    probably just a few of the thousnads of unemployed youth in the west bank who are supported by US tax dollars and since they don’t have to work, have plenty of time for such mischief. They better hope that no rockets just “accidently happen ” to land on them!

    In the interests of honesty, Israelis have been filmed sitting on high spots in Tel Aviv, clearly in party mood, cheering their own missiles heading towards Gaza.

      we saw the 1 video of people from Sderot who have been under constant rocket fire for YEARS sitting on hill & smiling ! no one can fault them. there were no Tel Aviv people sitting on “high spots” (who talks like that?) & no rockets from Israel, only jets flying & dropping rockets. (not possible to see from T.A.) after warning ahead of time. say goodnight jon , jon.

        No one can fault them? No one can fault a person, from whatever background, applauding shelling of a heavily populated area, knowing the result will be deaths of innocents??

        Sorry, but only a misguided morally bankrupt fool could fail to fault them.

      What LIES!!!! You can’t see Gaza from Tel Aviv!!! If anything they were looking at the Iron Dome missiles being launched towards incoming Hamas rockets!!!!!

      What’s wrong with you?

      And why wouldn’t they be cheering and happy to see the IDF taking out the terrorists launching missiles into Israel? IDF is clinically hitting the rocket launch teams, not indiscriminately targeting civilians. I’d be cheering too, there is no moral equivalence. Geez….

    Just like God told Hagar, “You will have a boy and his name will be Ishmael and he will be as a ‘Wild Donkey’ and his hand will be against everyone and everyone’s hand will be against him.”

    YEP; They are acting just like ‘wild donkey’s’ . boy oh boy, just look at them…
