Isn't it remarkable that during the recent Israel-Hamas battle there was daily hand-wringing at the UN and in the world press about the dozen or so Palestinian women and children civilians killed each day by accident by the Israeli forces, but there is little or no equivalent fuss made by the UN or the world press while ISIS deliberately and brutally and with malice aforethought kills, rapes, tortures and exterminates whole villages each day. While the Israeli-Hamas battle raged the Obama administration pressured Israel every day. Funny how the administration is much more laid back about the ISIS threat, which is killing hundreds of times more people.
Is it because there aren't Jews involved? Is it because the world cares less about the Iraqi and Syrian people being murdered than it does about Palestinians? Or is it because, unlike Hamas, these poor Iraqi and Syrian villages don't have a sophisticated media presence to feed the world press neat, gripping, ready-made (and often contrived) headline stories?
The blatant hypocrisy and double standard sickens me.
Thoughts and observations about the world condition.
