In 2011, Israel released more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for Gilad Shalit, a soldier snatched by Hamas five years earlier.

And now the focus will be away from 1,600 Palestinians - and counting - in favor of Hadar Goldin, 23.

This week, 1600 Muslims were butchered in Syria Those who look at Gaza only and avoid this ongoing situation in Syria (already 3 years and ~200,000 dead) must ask themselves why they feel so bad when democratic country defends itself (Hint: Jewish country) from horrible fanatic Islamic organization

One must ask himself if he might have been brain-washed by media or maybe he is just Anti Semitic

Fanatic Qatar is buying everything in the last 10 years: media, Universities, Research institutions anywhere in the world if you consider yourself realistic person, ask yourself why are the crazy stuff going on in the Mid-East are on mute while Israeli conflict is so loud why do i feel so bad about "Palestinian" dead while other Muslim dead is not that bad why is the world media put anything in Israel in such focus while ignoring surrounding countries

what is the real reason for that

Mongolll: Though you are only changing the subject (as a tool of deflection) away from the topic, I will respond on Syrian deaths. Israel to, has added to the death count in Syria, they have committed at least six preemtive bombing raids even though Syria had not attacked them. What's happening in Syria is beyond tragic but six bombing raids has NOT helped the plight of Syrian civilians what so ever!

Certainly not brainwashed by the US media, with their fawning and unquestioning support of Israel. Intervals when Israelis aren't dying, but Palestinians continue to be killed by the IDF are called periods of "relative quiet." And illegal settlements of stolen land are rebranded as "neighborhoods" by CNN.

Watch Peace, Propaganda and the Promised Land for yourself. But it's not just the US and Murdoch media:

In a study of BBC television news coverage, the Glasgow Media Group documented differences in the language used by journalists for Israelis and Palestinians. The study found that terms such as "atrocity," "brutal murder," "mass murder," "savage cold blooded killing," "lynching" and "slaughter" were used describe the death of Israelis but not for the death of Palestinians. The word "terrorist" was often used to describe Palestinians. However, in reports of an Israeli group attempting to bomb a Palestinian school members of the Israeli group were referred to as "extremists" or "vigilantes" but not as "terrorists."[4]

or maybe he is just Anti Semitic

A slur of no intellectual substance, changed to "self-hating Jew" when the critic is a coreligionist.

Right on, SenseNotSoCommon.

The Irgun and Stern Gang were Zionist terrorist organizations who committed mass murder, rape, and ethnic cleansing. And Israel has named streets after their leaders.

-7 ( +1 / -8 )

While Begin was a member or the Stern Gang, he also made peace with Egypt, gave back the Sinai Pennisula and was awarded the Nobel Peace prize along with Sadat. I think this is worthy of having a street named after you. Many rebels that were considered terrorists or that were indeed terrorists became leaders of their countries and were then considered heros. If Hamas were to lay down their arms and make a true peace with Israel, I would see nothing strange with streets in Palestine being named after Hamas leaders.

There is nothing strange with Nobel Peace prize winners having streets named after them.
