Related: About this forumWhy Israel's #SderotCinema – people gathering to watch live bombing of Gaza – should make us all unc
An image surfaced on the internet a few days ago. It showed a group of people, across different age groups, on a hill top, in what seemed to be an innocent gathering of friends and family, a barbecue perhaps.
However, a closer inspection of the image reveals that the group is witnessing what could possibly be explosions and gunfire in the distance. This, allegedly, is the Sderot cinema: a gathering of Israeli locals in Sderot city to watch the ongoing live bombing of Gaza.

Rachel Fraenkel, the grieving mother of one of the murdered teenagers, Israeli-American Naftali Fraenkel, has not only condemned the revenge killing, but she doesn't even condone the conflict that has followed. Only the murderers of our sons, along with those who sent them and those who helped them and incited them to murder and not innocent people will be brought to justice: by the army, the police, and the judiciary; not by vigilantes. No mother or father should ever have to go through what we are going through, and we share the pain of Mohammeds parents, Fraenkel told the media.

MSM may not cover this but its viral over the internet and international press
Not a good way to win friends and influence world opinion
for God's chosen people.
