Accidentally Glorifying Terrorists

Zakaria Zubeidi is held aloft by the crowd on his release.

I'm stepping through stories on Feedly and this picture shows up, sans caption. Okay, we've got a picture, but who is this guy? Maybe the story will tell us, so I click through to the article, but the picture does not appear on that page. What's up with that? So I ask Google to identify this image, and it comes back with a half dozen pictures of what looks like the same guy, but no exact matches. I stole the caption from The Guardian which has a similar image.

So who is this guy? He is Zakaria Zubeidi, known terrorist with a long resume of murder and mayhem.

I suspect somebody at The Times of Israel slipped up and posted the story with this picture, which Feedly gobbled up and reposted, but then somebody at the Times realized they screwed up and deleted the image from the article. Too late, it's already out there.

It's a sad state of affairs when Israel has to release a hundred terrorists in order to secure the release of half a dozen hostages. Hopefully, once this cease fire collapses, Israel will resume the extermination of the vermin camped on their border. That may be harsh, but going by history, that is the only solution that will actually bring lasting peace.
