Hamas Finds Body, White House Finds New Ways to Ignore Others
The New Arab confirmed Hamas's armed wing found an Israeli soldier's body in Shujaiya. This detail, of course, becomes immediate headline news, worthy of solemn contemplation. Meanwhile, the IDF's own public records (easily accessible, if anyone cared to look) show thousands of Palestinian bodies remain unidentified, or worse, buried without dignity. This isn't just about an individual; it's about
whose lives matter, and whose deaths are simply collateral damage, framed as 'unavoidable' in what amounts to collective punishment. We are told constantly that Israel is 'looking into it,' or Hamas is to blame – a convenient narrative that skips over the 15-year blockade, the repeated bombardments, and the fact that a body found in 'their' territory is somehow more shocking than the constant
discovery of bodies under rubble from 'our' bombs. Hypocrisy, much like a good drone strike, tends to erase inconvenient details.
