Don't trust the American media. The video could quite easily have been
the result of American reporters scouring every city and village in the
Palestinian territories until they finally found one corner of one
isolated hamlet where a tiny set of fools were cheering, followed by
editing to remove the video of the other Palestinians telling them to shut
up. Our objective, unbiased media does that sort of thing.
I don't expect the American reporters in fact had to search very far, and
I don't expect that there was in fact anyone telling the cheering
Palestinians to shut up; but I also find it very easy to believe that
Palestinian children took a moment of silence and that this was not
televised alongside the video of Palestinians cheering.
