Celebrating the deaths of 'Palestinian' children?
Someone posted a comment a few days ago claiming that Israelis were 'celebrating' the deaths of eight 'Palestinian' children in an accident between a bus and a truck during a heavy rainstorm last week. In fact, this person, who claims never to attack me personally (or to threaten me), even assumed that I was orchestrating the celebrations. A true Gideon Levy apostle.Well, it's not so.
Some Israelis from the nearby settlement hung this sign over the site of a bus crash that killed 8 Palestinian children. It reads (in Hebrew and then Arabic): “The residents of the (nearby) Adam settlement share in the sorrow of the families, in their deep grief over the death of their loved ones and wish a speedy recovery to the injured.”Sorry, but we Israelis are not the ones who celebrate the deaths of innocent children by handing out candies and sweet cakes. And we never will be.
In a heartwarming show of solidarity, settlers have erected a sign over the crash site expressing their sadness and grief. This isn’t the product of some cosmopolitian Tel Aviv human rights group but of one group of settlers sharing their grief with the Palestinian people. If you ever needed evidence that the settler community aren’t a bunch of rabid, blood-lust devils then here it is.
Read the whole thing.
P.S. As it happens, Mrs. Carl has relatives in Adam.

Damn right.
That wasn't a claim it was a fact. There were Israeli's who were celebrating, and I didn't blame the settlers for orchestrating the crash, nor did I say that ALL Israeli's were celebrating.

Oh but they were. From Gideon Levy's article:
From Yisrael Ohana: "I don't care; for my part every Palestinian child is a future suicide-bomber candidate. Tomer Ben Haim: "There is just one thing that anyone who attacks Judaism deserves." The only light came from Meira Baruch, who wrote: "I'm 63 years old. Only a few times in my life have I been ashamed to be a Jew. Today I am ashamed. How can anyone rejoice over the death of little children?"
No longer can all this be waved away with the argument that these were the responses of a handful of crazies that do not reflect the whole.
