“Two Palestinians have been shot dead by Israeli soldiers close to the northern border of the besieged Gaza Strip.”
Al Jazeera grimly reports that another two lives have been snuffed out. In Canada our war dead are commemorated with media attention and ceremony. In Gaza, another two dead does not make headlines in the international press. the contrast and compare analysis infers much about the value of human life of us versus official enemies.
“Palestinian witnesses said that the men were collecting scrap metal when they were killed late on Saturday, but Israeli officials said they were fighters trying to launch rockets into Israel.
The deaths came just days after Israel distributed leaflets warning the 1.5 million Gazans not to come within 300 metres of an internationally condemned border wall.”
How nice. It is your land, but don’t you dare tread on it.
Plus Gaza was still reeling from the recent 22 day Israeli military offensive. 1300 Palestinians dead, 13 Israelis dead.
The injustice continues.
