Some readers may have little daughters of nine, younger or older. Regardless, you have the capacity for empathy? Palestinian children count just as much as any other. They suffer under the currents of history, in our view mainly due to their own leaders.
But no matter, a child is child. Unless she's an Israeli Jew, the BBC and most of the Western media appears to believe. We will keep this brief, but it is truly shocking and disgusting. As we reported here, a nine year old girl was shot by a Palestinian sniper while the supposedly "moderate" Palestinian Authority circulated on Facebook a celebration of the would-be child murderer, thus:
"The sniper of Palestine was here. He saluted Hebron, and rested in El-Bireh. He left the signature of [real] men in different parts of the homeland. He saluted and left, and moved on to a different place, with a new signature, as he tells the stories of those who love the homeland."
If Israel had sent a sniper to kill a little Palestinian girl that on its own would have been major international news. If the Israeli Cabinet had gloried in it, this would have been top news for days or weeks on end. A UN resolution would not have been out of the question.
BBC headlne? Not at all.
Since she's a 9 year old Israeli Jew, no-one cares. The BBC isn't biased. It's possessed with hate. And since they know this story -- from us and others -- there can really be no other conclusion than that.
Or do you have a better explanation? Journalistic integrity just ain't one of them...

I get what you are saying, but I think you are missing your own point. Israel is an established government. Palestine is a bunch of tribes and splinter groups, who while having the same "basic" want/need/belief/etc. whatever you want to call it, there are individuals with their own agenda who just latch on to the main one.
ReplyDeleteThis would be like comparing and established police departments "Police Actions" to common gang actions of bloods or crips.
