"Inner city kids are just as HUMAN as targeted Jews, Whites, Blacks, etc."

As I told you, there is a difference between criminal violence by thugs in the inner city who kill for drug related and gang turf related reasons and terrorists who deliberatly target kids and other inocent civilians on purpose.

Most inner city violence deaths are not of little kids but of teen agers and people in their early 20s involved in gangs. A small percentage are killed from drive by shootings. No I do not think they are not worth reporting. But they could stop only if the criminal behavior was not condoned by the inner city culture. Many of the gangbangers are the kids of former gangbangers or gengbangers in jail. Its a culture of crime that has nothing to do with evil bad white America. Inner city gangs are like white motorcycle gangs with out the bikes. Many non white Americans have good and productive lives but the gangbangers choose to live that way, just like mafia guys do as well. It is a choice. Its why people don't cover it as much because it could stop of those involved in it would stop killing each other.

Trust me, if inner city gang bangers took over a school of non-white kids and did what the muslim terrorists did in Beslan, it would be all over TV. Reporters are story vultures...if there is blood its on TV.

The press has an aversion to covering Israeli deaths because there is a concencus among them that Israel deserves being bombed by the palestinians in a sick relativistic view of the world where terrorism is justified in some situations in their sick minds. I think ALL terrorism is wrong no matter what the cause. Murder is murder...period. 200,000 Greek cypriots were thrown out of their homes in Cyprus by Turkey's Army, but they never once resorted to blowing up kids, women or old people. If one were to follow the Palestinian rational, Greek Cypriots have the same right. If they ever did, I would be against that as well and I'm Greek. If Israel was deliberatly targeting kids or sending suicide bombers in to Gaza, I would be against that as well.

By the way, I'm Christian. I view this as an issue of right and wrong. But comparing criminal deaths to terrorism is a different issue even if the result is the same. Criminals have a choice. People in Israel taking a bus to work or to grandma's house is not a crime. Joining a gang, selling drugs and going on drive by shooting runs is.
