This refers to the “Hate Wedding” (חתונת השנאה), a December 2015 wedding in Jerusalem that became a major Israeli political and media scandal.

The wedding was that of Yakir Ashbel and Roni Ashbel, held at the Shirat Yerushalayim hall in Jerusalem in December 7, 2015. The attendees included far-right activists and numerous minors. Video footage showed participants dancing with firearms, knives and objects made to resemble Molotov cocktails. Some participants reportedly cocked or loaded firearms. Some of those present were under 14.

They displayed photographs of Ali Dawabsheh, the 18-month-old Palestinian boy killed with his parents in the Duma arson attack of 31 July 2015. Participants stabbed, tore and attempted to burn the photographs, while celebrating.

The event included songs and chants calling for revenge and the destruction of mosques. One of the songs was altered to include calls for a mosque to “burn” and “explode.”

Itamar Ben-Gvir was among those present at the wedding (Ben Gvir is visible at 1:38), although the reporting distinguishes him from those filmed carrying weapons or stabbing Dawabsheh's photograph.

The footage was released on December 24, 2015.

The weapons were particularly controversial because IDF soldiers were among the participants, and investigators found that at least one soldier had handed his weapon to another person to wave during the celebration. Police subsequently investigated the participants for incitement to violence, illegal possession of weapons and violations of administrative restrictions. In October 2016, indictments were filed against 13 participants, including five minors.

But the true scandal is that the wedding took place only about five months after the Duma arson attack, in which Ali Dawabsheh, his parents Saad and Riham, and later Ali's brother Ahmad, died as a result of the attack. The incident was widely understood in Israel as a display of extremist settler/right-wing violence and incitement following the Duma murders.

The Dawabsheh family was attacked in the early hours of 31 July 2015, when their home in the Palestinian village of Duma, near Nablus, was firebombed while they were asleep.

Ali Dawabsheh, 18 months old, was burned to death in the house. His father, Saad Dawabsheh, suffered burns over roughly 80% of his body and died of his injuries on 8 August 2015, about a week later. His mother, Riham (Reham) Dawabsheh, suffered burns over about 90% of her body and died on 7 September 2015, more than five weeks later. Their other son, Ahmad, then four years old, survived but suffered burns over approximately 60% of his body. He was the only member of the immediate family to survive.

The attackers smashed a window and threw a Molotov cocktail into the family's bedroom. Hebrew graffiti reading “Revenge,” “Long live the Messiah,” and “Price Tag” was left on the house.

The attack was subsequently prosecuted in Israel as a Jewish-terrorist attack. Israeli settler Amiram Ben-Uliel was convicted in 2020 of murdering all three members of the family, as well as arson and related offenses.
