The image, which has been retweeted more than 8,000 times, has led to heated debate on Twitter.
The photo was taken on Wednesday in Sderot, around a mile away from the Gaza strip, a town which often finds itself under fire from rockets from Gaza.
The day before, Israeli security forces began strikes in Gaza to retaliate against rockets from Hamas.
One user wrote: “Morality of a people so skewed that murder is a public spectacle. An astonishing thing to see in this day/age.”
Another said: “That is just inhumane, abominable and disgusting. Shame on you, Israel.”
Meanwhile one Twitter user described it as “the most gruesome image I’ve seen the last few days.”
Yesterday, Danish daily the Kristeligt Dagblad published a follow-up article online in English describing the scene on the hill.
It said: “The hill has been transformed into something that most closely resembles the front row of a reality war theatre.

“People have dragged camping chairs and sofas to the top of the hill. Several sit with crackling bags of popcorn, while others smoke hookahs and talk cheerfully.”
Eli Chone, a 22-year-old American living in Israel told the paper: “We are here to see Israel destroy Hamas.”

Officials in Gaza say that almost 100 Palestinians have been killed in air strikes over the last four days.
Israeli authorities say the raids are in retaliation to rocket attacks by Hamas fighters.
The attacks come after the abduction and murder of three Jewish teenagers last month and the suspected revenge killing of a Palestinian youngster saw violent clashes breakout between Palestinians and Israeli soldiers.

That’s what the Yankees did at Bull Run in 1861.
“If this is true then God help us all. What’s become of the human race?”
We’re not talking about the human race; they’re just goyim. We’re talking about “the chosen”, who haven’t shown an ounce of humanity in 2000 years.
I think the fat bitch with the big smile would make a nice lamp-shade.

NUKE ISRAEL
What does the World expect from these animals?? They are the new NAZI s. Perhaps one day we’ll all sit around watching them being led into some barbed wire enclosure….that would be sweet.
Since when did the Germans act like that?
The jews act in ways that would’ve gotten the
SS executed. Could you imagine Germans
sitting down to watch a group of jews locked into
an open air prison get bombed?
The Nazis were nothing compared to the Bolshevik jews. The jews ‘claimed’ Hitler genocided 6 million of them. He would have had to invade the ENTIRE European continent to accomplish that monumental feat, considering that there were ONLY about 6 1/2 million jews in ALL OF EUROPE at the time of WWII. Had the Allies not interfered, Hitler would have wiped out the Zionist Bolshevik infestation in Russia, and he would have been totally justified in doing so. That’s why the stinking jews made damn sure the U.S. entered the war.
They had to protect their communist Bolshevik homeland, since the U.N. hadn’t yet been created to steal the Palestinians’ land to ‘give’ to the so-called “God’s Chosen”, who then proceeded to genocide the Palestinians mercilessly.
Had I been living in that era, knowing what I know about those Zionist AshkeNAZI scumbag jews, but not knowing the outcome of the war, I would have unhesitatingly fought on Germany’s side.
But ONLY against the Satanic Bolshevik bast@rds, NOT against any of the other countries he invaded.
And George is absolutely correct. The Nazis treated their prisoners (as well as the jews interred in the WORK CAMPS, NOT DEATH CAMPS) far more humanely than the POS Russians OR the POS Allies (11 million German nationals were starved to death under Eisenhower, a JEW, AFTER the war was over). That’s a WAR CRIME.
Understand this: in NO way am I condoning what Hitler did, OTHER than his invasion of Russia. By the same token, however, I’m calling a spade a spade.
The TRUE facts (NOT the massive LIES told in the so-called ‘history’ books) speak for themselves.
And what about that American born Palestinian kid who got beat up by Israeli Security Forces. Not a word about that? Nothing at all? Just crickets, I guess.
