The mother of a Palestinian toddler killed in a West Bank firebomb attack was buried in her village Monday hours after succumbing to wounds sustained in the attack, which also killed the child’s father and is believed to have been carried out by Jewish extremists.

Thousands of Palestinians attended the funeral for Riham Dawabsheh, 27, and later about 100 threw rocks at Israeli soldiers nearby who responded with rubber bullets, the military said.

On July 31, assailants hurled firebombs into a bedroom of the family’s home in the West Bank village of Duma in a pre-dawn attack, and sprayed graffiti on the walls depicting a Jewish star of David and the word “revenge.”

Eighteen-month-old Ali Dawabsheh perished in the flames.

1. A sad day for that family...a continuation of sad days.

Netanyahu, when faced with the murder of three settler teens, went to great lengths to find those responsible.

What has he done in this instance?


It seems that Palestinian life is cheap and to be ignored, IMHO.

These actions, and more like them seem more at home in the old south of segregation, Jim Crow and good ole boy Klansman.

For the Dawabsheh family.

2. Revenge for what?

What did the Dawabsheh family do to solicit "revenge" like this, or were they just a representative target?

3. May she rest in peace. She certainly was denied it here. n/t

4. This didn't happen, because 1) Palestinians are fake;

2) we say so; 3) some guy in our book of fairy tales likes us better than anyone else.
