re: #85 Sergey Romanov

Waitaminute. Not to disute the celebrations, but to follow up on the details about the woman as discussed above:

Since this is Nablus and not East Jerusalem, this is *not* the woman in the video. So the quote doesn’t refute the woman’s explanation.

Though of course with 3000 people it is irrelevant if the footage was staged or not. Still, this is a small minority, as Nablus has 126 thousand people.

Why keep bring up some crap just because it’s in a wiki article> The source links are all dead and there’s no credibility to the claims of some German crackpot nobody has ever heard of before. People put shit in wikipedia all the the time. It does not make it true. We have reports of widespread celebrations from CNN, MSNBC, FOX, AP, Reuters, etc. There’s no reason to believe the woman was tricked into celebrating with the promise of cake.
