could not read the jpost article and, frankly, the pictures in the blog site you posted look like a demonstration and not like a "party". Who knows when that demonstration took place?

Why not? it was in English. You can dismiss this if you like. The "parties" I was talking about were the ones taking place in the streets -- they consist of spontaneous demonstrations of joy and more organized demonstrations by the "successful" organization that sent the suicide bomber.

I spent about five minutes finding you the stories, it was hardly an exhaustive search. These "parties" happen after ever "successful" suicide bombing, and are routinely reported about, certainly in the Israeli press, to a lesser extent in AP and Reuters. I'll keep you posted if you like.

BTW, your original point was that the Palestinians were "apathetic" about Israeli casualties. My answer was that they were not apathetic, they threw parties. Whether the celebrations are completely spontaneous or have some organization is hardly material -- they are still joyful celebrations of suicide bombing.
