Comment: The following article is a blatant propaganda piece to make Palestinians look like evil incarnate.The historical example it uses to support its claim that this is Palestinians wishing rockets would land on the U.S., is that of Palestinians allegedly dancing in the streets following 9/11:
The Truth Behind The "Celebrating Palestinians"

A full viewing of the video tape reveals the games the video crew played. They wanted video of celebrating Palestinians and that is what they orchestrated in front of the camera. The full video clearly shows a few Palestinians jubilant with many more pedestrians, indifferent to their "performances", hurrying past. The Palestinian woman who was offered cake says she abhors the acts in New York and Washington. The video clips the crew produced are intended for one purpose: to deceive Americans into further support for Israel. The point of the video clips (which if you think about it, was insensitive to air right after the terrorists' attacks) is to make Palestinians look bad. The pro-Israel group calling themselves "Honest Reporting" on its web pag titled "Palestinian Celebrations" asked its readers to contact the media to demand that they show even more of the Palestinians celebrating: "We encourage you to contact local editors and producers, and demand that they show the videos and publish the photographs." Why the need to run over to Palestinian areas and start to video tape? What is the reaction of Palestinians when camera crews come and people come handing out candy? Almost universally on U.S. networks, anchors presented the footage as if it were representative of all Palestinians, additionally failing to note any context to the images. Who was doing what in the video and why does this get so much play and a video that Israelis took of themselves right here in the metro area gets no play in the days and weeks after 9/11. And why not give the context of why some people might be happy. Perhaps Palestinians might like that the country that supplies weapons that kill them and supports the country that kills them took a hit. I would like to know what these Israelis were so happy about.

The terrorist group Hamas fired at least 117 rockets into Israel Sunday, CNN reported, as violence there escalated again. But major U.S. media have censored Palestinian's anti-American reaction to this ongoing attack on an ally. In one Al Jazeera America video, children cheered on the rockets, wishing they would land in the United States.


For Al Jazeera's "America Tonight," foreign correspondent Nick Schifrin reported during an older segment entitled "Israel invades Gaza" on July 17. "Palestinian fighters fire a barrage of rockets," he noted, with two flying towards Tel Aviv. As the camera focused on children clapping and cheering, Schifrin translated, "They tell me they hope they land not on Israel, but in the United States."

Schifrin explained how "Stopping those rockets is Israel's main reason for this war." The second reason for Israel, he said, is "to destroy tunnels that fighters use to sneak from Gaza into Israel." "Both the rockets and the tunnels are located in the Shujayea neighborhood and this Sunday Israel took dead aim," he continued.

Placing Gazans as the victims (as did the rest of the segment), Schifrin emphasized, "All night and all morning, the Israeli military bombarded Shujayea," and described how, "More civilians died here in one night than in the previous three days of conflict."

Palestinians have a history of supporting terror attacks against the United States. Palestinians danced in the streets and gave out candy to celebrate the 9-11 terror attack in 2001.
