"It’s killing me, it’s a black comedy, the old woman looks happy, a bit of action before she dies," the 45-year-old freelance producer posted in response to a woman's kidnapping, according to Israeli newspaper Haaretz. "Sirens all the time, the Jews are hiding and the Arabs are out drinking coffee on their balconies."
