Hamas War

Just curious, how much was it mentioned?

Four innocent Israelis were murdered Thursday night. An Arab terrorist, recently released from prison, disguised himself as a religious Jew and was welcomed into a Jewish car and lit a bomb that incinerated four Jews and himself.

From my various "epals" across the globe I had discovered that the terror-murder hadn't hit the headlines. Murdered Jews aren't news. They neither sell papers, nor get viewers to watch the network. Since I get an internet version of The New York Times, I decided to check what they had, since last summer they didn't mention the massive prayer gathering against Disengagement. This time, there was a mention, though you had to read the entire article about some terrorist being killed to find it.

I'd appreciate knowing how much has been mentioned in other places. Thanks

The BBC, heard live in the USA on NPR on Friday morning at 9:00 AM New York Time, said that there had been an increase in violence in the Mideast: Israel bombed open fields near Gaza, a Palestinian militant in Gaza was blown up by an explosion in his car, and three Israelis were killed when a militant apparently exploded himself in their car.

In other words, three incidents of violence, no distinction between them.

Thanks. I really hate this business where we're equated with the terrorists who are trying to totally eliminate us.
Any other reports?

Rav Kaduri's funeral only two months ago, attracting a few hundred thousand mourners and virtually shutting down Jerusalem, was barely mentioned in the local press, how can we expect goyim to care about Jews when we ourselves don't?
