Video Shows Israelis Celebrating Death of Palestinian Toddler Ali Dawabsheh
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – A video has been released showing a group of Israelis celebrating the death of a Palestinian toddler at a wedding.
The video, posted to YouTube shows a group of Orthodox teenagers dance with guns, knives and molotov cocktails as some stab the picture of Palestinian toddler Ali Dawabsheh, who died with his parents in the Duma arson attack earlier this year, International Business Times reported.
The video emerged on 24 December alongside a report that two Israeli men have died after one was stabbed and the other was accidentally shot by police following an alleged knife attack by two Palestinians in Quds (Jerusalem). Both of the Palestinian men, aged 20 and 21, were killed by Israeli police.
In perhaps the most shocking part of the clip, some revelers can be seen stabbing a photo of the Dawabsha family baby who was killed.
The guests at the wedding are believed to be close associates of the detainees suspected of carrying out the arson attack that caused the deaths of three members of the Palestinian family from the village of Duma.
The firebombing killed 18-month-old Ali Saad Dawabsha, while both of his parents later died from severe burn wounds. The couple's four-year-old son was the sole survivor from the immediate family.
In the video, the teens and young men sing a song in praise of revenge and pass around rifles and licensed pistols, including to children.
