You claim Palestinians throw street parties after every (or most) suicide attacks, based on some Israeli blogger posting pictures of some demonstration where people look pretty grim and children jump up and down doing signs of "V" (victory). I say I have not seen any accounts of "street celebrations" after the infamous "dancing in the streets" immediately after 9/11 on news agencies. I guess we will have to disagree as to which is the more credible source of information.

Why not? it was in English.

Because it asked for a login name and stuff.

I'll keep you posted if you like.

Please do. As much as I try to follow the media in several languages, I cannot claim to see all. Still, please do try to filter out Debka and Israeli bloggers.

Whether the celebrations are completely spontaneous or have some organization is hardly material

What is the difference between a 'demonstration' and a 'party', in your opinion?
