this is very true, only the syria part (1800 palestinian victims) is weird, because syria's situation is exponentially worse. the bodycount now is over 100,000; bombing and shelling of urban environments that pales in comparison to gaza, 10million refugees without access to humanitarian aid. the coverage and the public outrage this particular tragedy receives is a joke if you compare it to the current and the previous gaza sensations.but i don't think that the double standard necessarily comes from anti-semitism or anti-americanism. it seems that even intelligent, morally conscient people only despise the violence if one side is militarily far superior and somewhat democratic. violence from everybody else is nothing to be outraged about, even if way worse. well-meaning but misguided, idealistic, unrealistic expecations to me.
- Not really true though, there's been plenty of attention to Syria.ukit2
