*Hadar Goldin was 23 years old. His family were told that he was ‘captured’ by Hamas. The IDF later informed them that he had in fact died. Tragedy for his family. Tragedy full stop. He was an IDF soldier. He was killed in action on Friday. He had a twin brother. His name is Tzur. He is also a soldier.His dad is Simcha. His mum is Leah. He was a Lieutenant. He had a fiancee. They were planning their wedding. He was easy going. His body was not fully recovered. Netanyahu said he was ‘a great hero’. Yaalon (Defence Minister) said he was related to Hadar. Thousands attended his ceremonial rites. On sunday. In Kfar Saba. His death is number 66 on the Israeli list.
Dear reader, can you tell me the names of one of the 10 Palestinians killed in the recent UN school bombing? What were their parents names? What career aspirations did they have? Where were they buried?
Shame on us.
*Please note that I take an anti-war stance and I feel a death is a death and a tragedy is a tragedy. The above is to simply demonstrate the inherent bias, hypocrisy and double standards in world media reports and the undeniable truth that they value the lives of the Israeli’s over the Palestinians.
