In Gaza City, a 20-year-old woman was killed and several dozen people were wounded by celebratory gunfire after the truce was announced.The Gaza NGO Safety Office elaborates:
1 Palestinian fatality and 20 injuries as a result of celebratory heavy shooting in the air.These terrorists sure know how to throw a party!
But wouldn't it be even better if they shoot mortars and Qassam and Grad rockets in the air? After all, as we know, they are only ineffective firecrackers anyway.
I wonder if any of the remaining news crews in Gaza will interview the relatives of the dead woman, and show the maimed victims in the hospital, along with sad music and tearful parents raging against the heartless people who did such a thing. Because every life is equally precious, and it is the journalist's duty to create a compelling story around each one, so such things should never happen again.
I mean, it would be racist to say that Arabs killing Arabs isn't as tragic as Jews killing Arabs, and Western journalists are definitely not racist - they are progressive! Civilians accidentally killed during celebrations are even more tragic and ironic than civilians accidentally killed while terror targets are being hit, aren't they? They wouldn't just leave the victims nameless - that would be cruel!
Any journalist would line up to document such a perfect, made for TV story.
Right?
