Hours after 60-year-old Fadia Jumaa and her two daughters, Samira, 31, and Sultana, 33, were killed by a Hizbullah rocket attack on their home in the Israeli-Bedouin village of Arab al-Aramshe, the international media has so far largely ignored their deaths.
Reuters was alone among non-Israeli media outlets to report the deaths, according to a Google news search, a number of hours after the first reports of the attack surfaced.
The lack of coverage of the Israeli civilian war casualties stands in marked contrast to the swift response by many sections of the international media to reported Lebanese casualties.
Meanwhile, the British press, which has produced some of the most venomous anti-Israel coverage during the war, has continued its tirade against Israel.

I don't think these women were Jews. I think they were Israeli Arabs. Hezbollah is hucking rockets all over the place.
Although I am not Jewish, I grew up in a Jewish neighborhood, went to school with Jews and have spent my entire professional career working with them. I think your statement that the world never cared about the Jewish people is disturbing to say the least. I care about them greatly, and as a practicing Christian, I must given it is required of my faith and further, the roots of our faith are Judaic in nature. As much as there has been animosity and atrocities between Jews and non-Jews, the Christian churches, primarily the Catholic Church, has admitted to error in recent years regarding the treatment of Jews throughout history. Let us hope the healing continues. In the meantime, the issue of Islam is a whole different problem, and given the tenet's of the Koran, I'm afraid may never be solved given their enemies are everyone else but themselves.

I don't believe that and I have often wondered why the Jews have been eternal victims. It is not due to lack of caring by the many but more the visceral need for a scapegoat by failed others.
The lack of reporting on Jewish casualties is not an indifference toward the Jews as much as it is part of the medias' cooperation with our enemies. They know better as journalists, but personally and politically they strive for the defeat of America.
Not so.America cares. Not the msm surely, but Americans do.
"Israeli war deaths go largely unnoticed"
Not by me. I pray for you, Israel.

Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
Yes, you are correct. These are not the first Israeli Arab civilian deaths to occur as a result of the Hezzie rockets fired into Israel during the war.
When the media discovers this, maybe they won't completely ignore the victims. Instead they'll claim that Israel is discriminating against its Arab citizens by not providing the same access to shelters and and warning alarms that it provides for Jews. I've actually seen that argument expounded on ABC Night Line by an Israeli Arab MK.
