A wedding party video of Jewish zealots celebrating a Palestinian baby's death by arson sparks outrage in Israel and inflames the debate on Jewish violence.
Lots of reaction. Nobody's shying away from calling it terrorism. Sounds like this is a big thing in Israel.
Haaretz says the guys holding the wedding are well known to police. Wikipedia claims it was these "Price tag" guys. Wiki says they are " given to acts of vandalism aimed at the Palestinian population, Christians, left-wing Israeli Jews, Arab-Israelis, and the Israel Defense Forces and Israeli police by Jewish fundamentalist settler youths who "exact a price from local Palestinians or from the Israeli security forces for any action taken against their settlement enterprise"
Price Tag Policy
On the video Wiki claims this:
"In December 2015 Israeli police began investigating a video of a Jewish wedding in Jerusalem celebrating the marriage of a person known to have been involved in price tag attacks, in which guests are shown stabbing a photo of the child, Ali Dawabsheh, who had died in the Duma arson attack. The same video contained scenes of guests, armed with guns, knives and Molotov cocktails, chanting a song with the words from the book of Judges (16:28), "O God, that I may be this once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes", replacing "Philistines" with "Palestinians". A lawyer for the defendants in the case, Attorney Itamar Ben-Gvir, was also present. Such scenes are reported to be typical of many such weddings."

The actual arson attack happened in July. In September it looks like Israel grabbed three suspects.

There have been protests by the price taggers who claim Shin bet ( Israel's internal security service) has been torturing the suspects.
