Israel's death festival.
Such unabashed glee is disrespectful and dangerous.

The majority of the Israeli Jews have been brought up to hate and fear Arabs - if not by their parents, then the state and the media - and are racists - if not in action, then in words - so there´s nothing surprising here. And they have deliberately demonized the Palestinians and their elected leader so that they themselves could pretend to be blameless.

On the other hand, it should be remembered that there were large number of Israeli Jews whose attitude towards Rabin´s assassination was the same as towards Arafat´s death.
