Israeli war deaths go largely unnoticed
Yedioth Ahronoth ^ | August 6, 2006 | Yaakov Lappin

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.

The world has never cared about dead Jews. The antipathy to Jews has always been there. Its the natural order of things for Jews to die. What gets the world upset is Jews fighting to save their own lives. Then they must be urgently stopped. Let's drop the diplomatic Barbara Streisand about a "ceasefire." "No, its really, why don't you Jews go back to being killed, which is what is your place. Don't get uppity. We won't allow it."

I don't think these women were Jews. I think they were Israeli Arabs. Hezbollah is hucking rockets all over the place.

I try to be optimistic, but sometimes I find it hard to believe that the free nations are going to survive the Islamic tide. I just don't think we can grasp just what a cancer we are dealing with.

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.

That was accidental. Hezbollah has even apologized for it. But its Jews who need to die - all of them, ceasefire or no ceasefire. Hezbollah has made that clear from the moment it came into existence in the 1980s as an Iranian export into Lebanon.

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.

Definition of islamofascists terrorists:

1. Hates anyone outside there religion, period. will kill anyone outside there religion just for kicks. Ultra Hatred for Jewish and Christian peoples. No tolerance of other peoples religions, period. Will commit acts of mass murder.

2. No conscience of killing women, children, older people, those that cannot defend themselves against any acts of islamofascists terrorists. Numerous acts of this is in history and need not be repeated here. As a matter of fact,
islamofascists terrorists hide among the normal civilian populace to conceal their identity and try to give themselves safe harbor while committing their acts of terrorism. islamofascists terrorists Will commit their acts of terrorism from your own back yard of your house(such as setting up and firing rockets from civilian poplace homes and aiming them into another country)to conceal their location and try to give themselves safe harbor from retaliatory action.

3. Any concessions granted to them(islamofascists terrorists) is never enough for them! They always start their demands for whatever it is they want with bloody acts of terrorism. They never ask first, they commit their bloody acts of terrorism then make their demands.

4. Hold out an olive branch of peace to them and they cut your head off! islamofascists terrorists are medeival barbaristic butchers, sick animals that are sub-human, they have no respect for life other than their own and not much of that either! As they are willing to commit suicide, infantacide, patracide to achieve their terrorism.
islamofascists terrorists have no respect for life, period.

5. islamofascists terrorists expect God to reward them for their numerous acts of violence that brings misery and suffering to others including their own brothers and sisters.

6. islamofascists terrorists do not want to make a master race, they want to eliminate the Human Race!

So true. Each day when the stupid radio news comes on, all I hear is how many poor terrorists Israel has slaughtered in the last hour or so. They might, and I do mean might mention that the Islamic dirtbags have fired 200 rockets into Israel, but never if they killed any nasty ole Jewish people! Makes me ill.

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.

Yeah, they need the extra time for their photo editors.
