Capturing the MidEast in short soundbites: poignant reflections by people who understand the complexities of the Middle East. My philosophy is: "less is more." You won't agree with everything that's here, but I'm confident you will find it interesting! Excepting the titles, my own comments are minimal. Instead I rely on news sources to string together what I hope is an interesting, politically challenging, non-partisan, non-ideological narrative.

No outrage: has the world come to accept barbarity against Israelis?
Where's the Outrage? -Gary Rosenblatt
What's particularly sad about the latest tragic terror attack in Israel is that there doesn't seem to be much outrage when an innocent Jewish teenager is axed to death by a Palestinian 50 yards from the boy's home.

This is tragic, but I can assure you it has been the subject of far more outrage than the deaths of Palestinian children who are killed by the IDF on a weekly basis. This story made it into the front page of the BBC's Middle East page, Palestinian deaths are generally not even mentioned there. To wonder "where is the outrage" at a dead Israeli will completely ignoring dead Palestinians is a little hypocritical.
Please back up your statement:
"Palestinian children are killed by the IDF on a weekly basis."
You appear to be justifying the murder of this child.
