Inflammatory social media posts celebrating widespread fires in Israel go viral in the Arab world as blazes rage in the Jewish state.

Arab social media networks on Thursday were rife with inflammatory celebratory reactions in light of the myriad of brush fires that have been blazing across central and northern Israel since Tuesday.

Dry conditions and high winds have spread the flames across the central and northern regions of Israel as well as parts of the West Bank.

There have been fires all around the Mediterranean. That has been going on, since I was a kid.

But some are selective in what the see. And this makes these guys happy. So why think about the fires in Syria or Turkey

Explain further please.

He's saying that there have been fires all over Israel because in some places that's what happens. For example, and follow Mickey because I'll only explain it once, in the Canadian province of Alberta and most of the Midwest - there are fires every year. It's a huge place. Some fires, rage for days like the ones recently in Alberta.

If these same Muslims were celebrating fires in Alberta, everyone would think they're ****ing stupid because fires happen every single year there.

He's saying that they're kind of stupid (JoG didn't "use" stupid, but I'd be willing to say there is a possibility he meant that) for cheering what would have naturally happened anyways because well.. bush fires happen everywhere.

It's kind of how I feel about people who claim terrorist attacks happen because of homosexuality. The whole thing is ****ing silly.

How could you possibly need that to be explained?

Clearly you didn't read the article AGAIN! Good grief man, get with the program.....The article is about the millions of inflammatory postings on twitter from Arabs about the fires, and some of which may have been set by arsonists....It has NOTHING to do with the frequency of wild fires in the ME.....

Yep, and if you would read further, it says:

"Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan (Likud) said Thursday morning that he suspected that up to half of the fires had be intentionally ignited by arsonists. Meanwhile, Education Minister Naftali Bennett (Bayit Yehudi) suggested that those who set them could not be Jewish."

You selectively leave out the entire story purposely...Don't you know that you will be called on the dishonesty?

You're very compassionate.

I haven't stated how I feel about this. I just know that what JoG was getting at made sense. Wild fires happen, people will take claim for them. We don't break a sweat when Christian pastors summon hurricanes with their bibles. Do we? We see these guys as cooks mostly taking advantage of a situation happening in places also affected but where they would have no possible influence of events.

Is this really hard or are you just looking for an argument?

I am not saying that wild fires don't happen, but Officals in the government believe that some of these fires were set intentionally, and as happens with many wild fires they consume property, and homes, and take lives....Just like what we are seeing here in the Carolina's, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Georgia, wild fires do lots of damage, and like here many believe that they are intentional as well....Let's all hope here, that the fires we see here aren't set by some liberal losers that couldn't accept the results...That would not be good for libs....But over there? To have these Muslims metaphorically 'dancing' over these fires, and damage is disgusting, and puts lie to the notion that Muslims can get along with others in the world....after all, the ones posting the inflaming postings, are they all terrorists? Not "real" Muslims? What?
