On Tuesday, yet another Israeli was murdered by arab terrorists by being shot in his car while driving near the French Hill in Jerusalem.
The Israeli press reported the shooting, but there was not a word about it in the world press so far.
Makes you wonder why not.
If, on the other hand, an arab would be shot by Israelis, it would be top news all over the press.
Has jewish blood become so cheap that no one even cares to report it or read about it?

Turns out to be a Greek monk who is an Israeli citizen, apparently mistaken for a Jew by the Arab terrorists.
Should be interesting, though, to see how the press will cover it.

If you want the news about Jews and Israel, you have to read news sources. If the media catches on that people are ignoring them because of their biassed opinions they will respond, especially to their advertisers.

That's possibly true that if more people were interested in Israel news, the outlets would provide more of it, but as it stands all major news sources do in fact cover Israel heavily.
It is just that the covergae is biased in favor of the Arabs, and I'm not sure that advertisers really care.
For years the Jewish audience has been complaining to CNN and threatening to get their advertisers involved, with no results.
Only when Israel threatened to kick their journalists out of Israel a few months ago, that CNN became temporarily more even handed.

Right. people are interested in what's going on in the Middle East, but it seems that mostly they want to read coverage that is biased in favor of the Arabs. hence, the biased coverage and no mention of the loss of Jewish life.
