Extremists celebrate death of a toddler
Print Edition
Israeli authorities said yesterday they had opened an investigation into a video showing gun-wielding Jewish extremists at a wedding celebrating the death of a Palestinian toddler in a firebombing.
The video, broadcast by an Israeli news program, has spread online and drawn strong condemnation from Israeli politicians including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
It shows attendees at the wedding of a radical right-wing couple dancing with guns, knives and at least one unlit molotov cocktail, while also stabbing a picture of the toddler killed in a firebombing blamed on Jewish extremists.
Israeli media reported that the groom has previously been questioned over acts of 鈥淛ewish terrorism鈥 while other attendees were friends or relatives of suspects arrested over the July firebombing.
Netanyahu called the video 鈥渟hocking鈥 and said it showed 鈥渢he true face of a group that constitutes a danger to Israeli society and to the security of Israel.鈥
鈥淲e are not prepared to accept people who deny the laws of the state and do not view themselves as subject to them,鈥 he said in a statement.
The firebombing killed 18-month-old Ali Saad Dawabsha, while his parents later died from severe burns. The couple鈥檚 4-year-old son was the sole survivor from the immediate family.
A Star of David and the words 鈥渞evenge鈥 and 鈥渓ong live the Messiah鈥 were spray-painted on a wall near the family鈥檚 small house.
