Dutchblog Israel questions whether “seekers of justice [and] demonstrators against inequality” will give as much attention to the victims of bombings in Iraq as to those in Gaza.

The victims of bombings in Iraq are innocent civilians murdered by terrorists.
The victims of rockets in Israel are innocent civians murdered by terrorists.
The victims of bombs on Gaza are in their majority (don’t jump at me, I can even agree to say “partly”, that’s not my point) innocent civilians … what now? How am I to end this sentence? YOU say there is equality! But probably you will agree with me that Israel is not a terrorist organization, but a state. What’s more, a democratic state, do you still agree with me? A democratic state that’s member of the United Nations and therefore committed to respect the Declaration of Human Rights. Are we still agreed?
Now tell me, why you didn’t see the difference before? Of course I expect Israel to behave in a different way than a terror organization.
