Remember all the victims

Mohammed Dudin
War is a cruel, heartless affair. For the offence of being settlers in Israeli-occupied Palestine, Eyal Yifrah, Gilad Shaar, and Naftali Frenkel have been murdered.

David Cameron is “deeply saddened by the news. This was an appalling and inexcusable act of terror perpetrated against young teenagers."

 Barack Obama, “cannot imagine the indescribable pain that the parents of these teenage boys are experiencing. The United States condemns in the strongest possible terms this senseless act of terror against innocent youth.”

SOYMB simply asks ...What was the name of the child killed during the Israeli search for their children? Where were Cameron’s and Obama’s heart-felt sympathies for the bereaved Palestinian parents? Where is the Palestinian child’s photograph on the BBC website? Are Palestinian children lesser than those of Israel and merit little more than a few lines in the passing?

SOYMB grieves for all the victims of capitalism’s wars, including Mohammed Dudin, a boy of only 15, who was killed by Israeli soldiers in Dura last Friday, as well as for the deaths of Eyal, Gilad and Naftali.

In retaliation for the murdered trio, a Palestinian teenager was abducted and murdered. As SOYMB pointed out in the article the BBC does not name the boy nor show his photograph although it reports on the Palestinians throwing stones at the police. I will wait in vain for expressions of grief from Israeli or Western leaders. War invariably produces tit for tat atrocities
