Palestine :

Ali Qarmoot will not make the New York Times or the Washington Post. He is not a child who can be forgotten by the Western media for he was never noticed in the first place.

Ali is a young boy who passed away on Saturday. He was one of the thousands injured in Israel’s most recent full-scale assault on Gaza. An attack that left over 400 children dead. 900 civilians dead in total. About 4000 were injured. And thousands left homeless.

Ali was carried into Egypt for treatment. But doctors could not save him. He is one of 38 Palestinians to die from injury thus far.

Ali will not receive an mention in the Western press. For he is not one of the expensive people you hear about, he is seen as one of the inferior humans.

His life is cheapened by Zionist propaganda that breaches that Arabs do not value human life, that we do not mourn our dead.

We do. We do. We do value life. And we do mourn our dead. We know their names and their face one by one.

And as a Palestinian poet once wrote, “All that you have done to our people is written down in notebooks.”

Ali and the people from which he heralds will get their justice in time.

Gotta agree Marco that western media is biased towards the killings if done by their ally. US is portrayed as liberator after killing thousands of innocent Iraqis. The truth seems to be buried in the Arab world and its all because of the western media.

”Ali and the people from which he heralds will get their justice in time.”

Yep but when they do, they will become terrorist and their targets will be innocent even if they were soldiers or illegal armed settlers.


It is the jungle we live in.

It is not that they are forgotten by US media, that story was in Time magazine after all, it is that there are not that many reporters.

More and more places around the world are barring or limiting reporters allowed in their countries.

Also, the news agencies are hiring less reporters. With the internet, newspapers are not selling well and the agencies are losing money.

We should be worried about lack of access by the press. If Time had not done that story, we might never know that Israel charges Arabs as adult at 16 and Israelis at 18. That is clearly unequal treatment.
