My Comment: My father told me of a saying that he had when he fought in the Second World War .... better the other guy gets it than you. I guess one can say the same thing about this pic .... better they get bombed than you. But one should never forget that the tables can be turned in an instant.

I'm sure only the overly sensitive will be crying about this picture.
If my country was held at gunpoint by a terrorist organisation with a supply of thousands of rockets, I too would get a chair, a few beers and cheer as we bomb the fuck out of them.
The fact that civilians are dying everyday (and Israel warning them) is just one of those sad unfortunate side-effects of war.
Well said :)
It's like rubber necking a car accident on the freeway. I'd grab a few beers for sure. Curiosity is human and explosions push most peoples buttons, but the clapping is barbaric, and that's the line for me. I might crack a new beer each time and hope the rocket factory got hit but I would be drinking for the innocents who just lost all thier stuff and I'd pray that nobody on the right side got hurt. As you say Mr. Editor, the table can be turned and clapping at another's loss seems like a great way to hasten that table turning.
