The carnage in Israel

From Ynet News...

On Sunday evening, ambulances rolled in non-stop to three Haifa hospitals, after a fatal rocket barrage hit the city slightly before 8 p.m. Three people were killed and dozens were wounded after two rockets – one in the lower city and one in Wadi Nisnas – crashed into buildings.

Israeli casualties are lower because A. they don't herd women and children into buildings, then set a missile launcher on top, in full view of long range reconnaissance airplanes so the building will be bombed and B. they don't have hordes of willing dupes from the media standing by to photograph the bombings. It's much easier to turn a missile strike into a media circus when you made sure lots of women and children get killed and you pretty much know when and where it's going to happen.

Dozens of residents, mainly Israeli Arabs, congregated at the entrances to the Rambam Medical Center seeking to check on their loved ones injured in the attack.

While Hezbollah bombs Arabs living in Israel, the rest of the Arab world cheers them on. And these are people we're supposed to "reason" with?

Dudu Jozeen, 8.5 years old, arrived at Rambam hospital with her mother, who suffered from shock.

"I was with my mother at her friend's house. We heard sirens but didn't know where to go and also there wasn't time because we immediately heard an explosion," she recounted.

"It was really scary. It was a really loud boom. My mother, Ibatisam, is hospitalized and I hope they'll release her soon," she said, in tears.

I've noticed that the media seem to not be all that interested in the bombed and killed in Israel. I guess they prefer their mayhem more conveniently packaged the way Hezbollah does it.
