Palestinian victims are always nameless, faceless, and ageless. Kamilah Muhmmad Ash-Shuli is (was) a 21-year old Palestinian female college student. She was shot while in a Taxi by Israeli troops. New York Times will not show pictures of her funeral; Bush will not call her killers "terrorists;" Congress will not pass a resolution in her honor; no charity group will be established in her memory here in the US. Nobody will be calling for the prosecution of her killers. US government will not issue a call for Israel to stop "terrorism." Her killers will not be listed in any state's list of terrorist organizations and groups. No US TV show will devote a segment to her story. She will be added to the thousands of Palestinian civilian victims of Israeli killings. Maybe now you know why Angry Arab is angry after all.
