Israeli Arab legislators refused to back a Knesset resolution that denounced last week’s Palestinian celebrations over the terror strikes against New York and Washington. “While across the sea, people were counting the bodies of innocent civilians,” the Palestinian demonstrators “chose to dance on the blood of the dead,” the resolution said. The Israeli Arab parties also refused to sign the Knesset’s letter of sympathy with the American people, according to the Jerusalem Post.
