Why wasn't the recent fire-bombing of a Palestinian family (including 2 four year olds) on the major networks?
Speaking in USA and Canada. It was even labeled a terrorist attack by the American congress. Go to ABC News, NBC News and search "fire bomb taxi Palestinian" or just "fire bomb taxi" you won't find it. Why is this? A zionist terrorist tries to burn to death an entire family, including two four year children- the USA labels it a terrorist attack- yet the major news networks say nothing?
@BMCR, didn't show up in the ABC search. Did you find it in NBC news? Fox News? But I see most people miss the point. This was not aired on any major television news service- surprisingly since the USA congress labeled it a terrorist attack.
@#1, whenever a rocket attack hurts somebody, I DO hear about it
@BMCR wouldn't call reuters a network- news agency yes. But I was thinking television as in what the majority of North Americans get their news.
@Israelite soldier- yes, good ole Tommy boy, perfect example of Zionist debating techniques- repeatedly insult and ignore all calls for source. Poor fellow hates Muslims SO much, he actually quoted a Holocaust denier group to back his claims! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc9imoJWgPI&lcor=1&...
It's quite humerous how I keep getting called an antisemite on this thread- yet nobody will post an antisemitic comment I made!
@afinity- strange I heard about the Fogel murders on CBC, CBS, ABC in fact every news network. You admitted you had to google it yourself- I assume that means you didn't even hear about it.
@afinity, no I said it was not "on the major networks". Combined with the fact that the US congress labeled this and other settlers attacks as "terrorism"- seems like big news.
@matthew, guess you never heard of "price-tagging"? What was the act in retaliation for? In fact settler incidents of violence are up 149% of last year!! These incidents far outnumber those of Palestinians in the West BankNINETY PER CENT are not even CHARGED!
Do you actually condone throwing a fire bomb at a car with children inside?

1. It was.
I googled "palestinian fire bomb" and found lots of coverage. The first hit was ABC news from 6 days ago.
It is a terrible crime and I hope they catch the perp and I hope the victims recover speedily.
2. And Israel's leaders have condemned the attack as terrorism.
3. Meanwhile, most Palestinian attacks on Israelis are still not reported at all; and the Arab leaders' incitement to violence is also not reported.
PS: As I wrote, most Palestinian Attacks and incitement against Israelis is not reported at all. The fact that you heard of one example, from some time back, does not change this fact.
You asserted that it was not on the news and you couldn't find any coverage. I used a relatively "generic" google search and found it easily. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Me and my sister, Cecile. we are in basic terms a twelve months aside, so we get unsuitable for twins on a usual foundation. The resemblance is so extraordinary that generally while we glance at pictures from some years in the past (in the previous we started out loss of life our hair in a distinctive way), we gained't tell who's who. humorous project is we don't look in any respect like something of our siblings.

"Why wasn't the recent fire-bombing of a Palestinian family (including 2 four year olds) on the major networks?"
Because it didn't happen as an isolated event, but as part of an on-going process of commonplace Arab murders of Jews, and (rare) Jewish retaliation.

Actually, if you broaden your search more away from the major networks which are really more into entertainment then news, you will find plenty of information.
But the NY Times covered it, and other hard news outlets on the Internet covered it. I certainly read about it today when I went through my news sites, and none of them are not major organizations, usually print media.
But with the turmoil over abortion and other more 'flashy' subjects, what happens in that part of the world attracts little attention. In fact, nothing on Syria currently unless one really searches for it.

What about the rockets from Gaza that go into Israel daily? Do you ever hear about that?
- 9 years ago
Found it: http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/is...
Interestingly enough, this and other attacks on Palestinians are retaliations because of rocket attacks on Israel.

Maybe your search techniques need improvement.

Why haven't any of the rockets fired into Israeli civilian populations from Gaza been covered in American and Canadian news? I mean, there have already been over 500 in 2012 alone.
