In reply to the discussion: Oh that sixteen year old Palestinian boy was burned alive [View all]Scootaloo
(25,699 posts)Did you even know about them? Perhaps not, because outside of the I/P group, there were no threads about Nadim Nuwara or Mohammad Salameh or Muhammad 'Azzah (critically injured when shot in the chest). There were threads for Naftali Frenkel, Gilad Shaer, and Eyal Yifrah, as you noted. Six boys, all of an age, all unarmed, five murdered, one severely injured.
Now, since you did not demand that posters commenting on and presenting articles on the kidnapping and murder of the three Israeli boys devote equal time to the murder of two Palestinian boys, isn't it a bit one-sided for you to make such a demand on a thread regarding the murder of a third Palestinian child?
Or is it that this is some sort of measuring contest, where one dead boy is weighed against another in some competition to see which is more worthy of our attention and angst? Naftali, Gilad, and Eyal are not part of Muhammad Hussein Abu Khdeir's story. He never met them, they never met him. Their only relevance here is that it's possible some nutjob used their murder to justify his.
There's really no need for you to come into the thread and start with the underhanded implications against the OP just because he does not devote equal time to two different stories just to assuage your own preferences.
