When I see the world (and Arab media) reactions to the attack in Israel today, it becomes very clear to me. That not all civilians are equal, around the world. That Israeli civilians are more precious and more expensive than Palestinians civilians who have been killed--in silence--for the last two weeks, months, years, decades. As far as the Western media (and "objective" Arab media) are concerned: Israeli children are more cute and more adorable than Palestinian children; their civilians are more innocent than Palestinian civilians; their property is more valuable than Palestinian property.
