The picture, which was snapped by Danish journalist Allan Sorensen and subsequently posted on his Twitter feed, shows Israelis relaxing on lawn chairs while in the background lights emanate from the heavily bombarded Gaza Strip.
Sderot cinema. Israelis bringing chairs 2 hilltop in sderot 2 watch latest from Gaza. Clapping when blasts are heard.
“Sderot cinema,” Sorensen tweeted. “Israelis bringing chairs 2 hilltop in Sderot 2 watch latest from Gaza. Clapping when blasts are heard.”
The image was retweeted over 8,000 times as of Saturday afternoon, with many reacting with shock and disgust.
Sorensen is the Middle East correspondent for the Danish newspaper Kristeligt Dagblad.

Unreal. But when the savages hand out candies when they murder innocent Israeli kids, the world doesn’t get to see that. The double standard is reflective of the world’s anti semtism,
There was a time when bombs were necessary over Europe. We rightfully celebrate the brace men who dropped those bombs. Today, it is necessary to fight and destroy a new enemy. Go IDF. Am Yisroel Chai!
of course you rejoice when help is on the way!!
Where is this clapping?
What is a chasiddishe guy with wool tzitzis doing there on the beach
az yashir moshe
Why wouldn’t they cheer; this is the first time they got more than casual indifference to their life threatening plight
Ummmmm, am I missing something? Perhaps the world can teach us: what is the peoper etiquette to employ when those trying to kill you and your family is bombed. Why doesn’t the world raise its head out of its stinking, bloody history and teach us. Not enough that we eat their rotten tripe, we must also react appropriately.
Who remembers when on 9/11 they were dancing on the street right here in Brooklyn, on Coney Island ave. not even 5 miles from the twin towers… And they are complaining about people clapping when they see their enemy destroyed???? Go get a life!!!
בנפול אויבך אל תשמח ובכשלו אל יגל לבך פן יראה ה’ ורע בעיניו והשיב מעליו אפו
well if I lived in S’derot and suffered like these people did, I would probably make a roof top barbeque and invite all of my neighbors to watch the IDF pulverizing Gaza.
Nothing like the enjoyment of a barbeque, a beer and watching our enemies suffer.
Thank you HaShem!
Fishing for freedom or just dumping the day. Not a real big concern uess you wonder that the Angel of Death might hold you responsible for hurting your own society. I would not watch.
Given the hell the Arabs put these people through, it is quite understandable that they are happy anticipating some relief from all the rockets, BE”H.
This is a case of ghost recon versus the Hora Bum. What a simple involvement that shows no Torah.
