Why is it these deaths never make the headlines? The horrible suicide bombings do. But somehow these deaths don't matter.
Among the dead are 15 unarmed civilians (7 children, 2 women, and 6 men), 2 Palestinian police officers, and 5 alleged 'gunmen.' Hence, as usual, the vast majority of the people killed are unarmed civilians:
May 1, Rafah, Occupied Gaza:
*Huda Muhammad Shaluf, age 2, was killed by shrapnel wounds to her
head when Israeli tanks fired at her house in Rafah, Gaza. Several
other members of her family were injured.
*Bilal al-Derbi, 22 and Ahmed Abu Khebleh, 21, were killed
after being struck in the head by Israeli machine-gun fire in their
homes before dawn.
*Abdallah Shaluf, 23, was killed by a gunshot to the head while
standing outside his home.
May 2, Rafah, Occupied Gaza:

Tell me Jeff. Why should my money pay for this? And if I do pay for the Israeli assassins wages, what moral right do I have?
Why shouldn't the families of those above hate me and all those I love, and try to do the same to them, as my money is doing to their loved ones?
