Rocket hits West Bank Palestinians, who cheer in streets
Via InstaTotten, we learn that a Hezbollah rocket hit Jenin on the West Bank. Yeah, that Jenin.
A Fatah activist from Jenin added that the rocket hit was heard clearly around the city, and a spark and a flame were also clearly seen.
The Fatah member related that local residents cheered when they heard the rocket fall and saw the resulting flames. “Even if it were to fall on our heads, it wouldn’t have spoiled our joy. All of us here are praying for Hizbullah’s success and victory," he said.
The cheering in Jenin and the deafening silence from the Arab street does at least confirm one, er, suspicion that I have long harbored: that Arabs actually do know the difference between a destroyed target and collateral damage.

The Palis are dumber than a bag of rocks, they really are.

Dumb, no. But many are ignorant, and most are full of unreasoning hatred.

They have a remarkable penchant for backing losers. Remember when they backed Saddam during the Gulf War? After the war the Kuwaitis kicked them out, removing one of the last refuges where Palestinians could live normal lives.
Maybe it's just bad luck.
