Since September of the year 2000, there has been more than 3,500 Palestinians killed and 29,000+ injured. During that same time frame, more than 1,000 Israeli’s have been killed and 7,200+ have been injured.
During the period between May and October of 2004, The Oregonian, largest daily paper in the Northwest, reported 100% of the deaths of Israeli children but only 28% of Palestinian children’s deaths. The headlines during this same time reported 88% of Israeli children’s deaths and 2% of Palestinian’s.
Sounds like a fair and balanced picture of violence (and its causes) in the Middle East, doesn’t it?
