It is legal to celebrate Arafat's death

After 4 years of deliberations, Jerusalem court slapped police with a token fine for wrongfully arresting a handful of conservative activists who celebrated the news of Arafat’s death at the Paris Square in Jerusalem. It is only in the Jewish state that someone was arrested for celebrating the PLO thug’s death.
The court did not clarify whether it would also be legal to celebrate the demise of, say, Yossi Beilin or a few hundred other Jewish arafats.
