You can understand Americans saying "bomb their countries to dust", but not
Palestinians (a few; many others express horror and give blood) celebrating?
It's the same thing! We see them as responsible, and call for blasting them
into glass craters; they see _us_ as responsible for _their_ misery, and
rejoice that someone managed to make us feel pain.
The fantasies you're having are the fantasies they've just had fulfilled.
Enjoy.
