8 Israelis massacred in Seminary




..was one of the major headlines on CNN today.

Wow. 8. Eight. That's one more than 7. But not quite 9.

(Funny it took the death of 8 Israelis to make me want to blog all over again)

Coming back to the topic of hand, WHY does the death of 8 Israelis make the headlines on CNN? I mean, people die (read: get killed) all the time don't they? Palestine, Iraq, Chechnya, Kashmir, Sudan, etc. So why is the demise of 8 Israelis, shot to death by a rampant terrorist at a Seminary, SUCH a big deal?

How come CNN doesn't cover the DAILY massacre of the Palestinians by those Israeli bombers? I think that's important. More than eight people were killed everyday. Were their demises not headline worthy for CNN?


Shame.



Oh and, my condolences and all to the families of the 8 Israelis killed.
