Video celebrating Palestinian baby's death inflames Israel debate on Jewish violence


Mourners hold posters of Palestinian Riham Dawabsheh and her family as they walk past a banner depicting her 18-month-old son Ali during her funeral at Duma village near the occupied West Bank city of NablusBy Dan Williams JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Video footage of Jewish zealots mocking the death by arson of a Palestinian baby has sparked outrage in Israel, even as some on the far right saw in the leak a possible bid to justify tough interrogation of suspects in the killing. Aired on Israel's Channel 10 television late on Wednesday, the clip showed a wedding at which one dancing celebrant stabbed a picture of 18-month-old Ali Dawabsheh while others waved assault rifles, knives and what appeared to be a petrol bomb. The arson, and delays in solving the case, although Israel has several suspects in custody, contributed to the outbreak of the worst Palestinian street violence in years.
