Family of a Canadian-Israeli woman, who was missing since Hamas militants ambushed a music festival in southern Isreal last Saturday, says she has died(opens in a new tab).
Twenty-two-year-old Shir Georgy went missing after the militant group attacked the music festival near Kibbutz Re'im last Saturday.
Georgy's aunt, Michal Bouganim, says the family is a mess and heartbroken.
Because most news and people keep posting news providing love and support for Israel while ignoring the elephant in the room?
What makes you wake up in the morning and post this sort of comment?
My ability to give a crap about other people? How is one person's death more important to report than over ten thousand? Everyone's acting like I'm the devil for bringing it up.
I see a complete mixed bag of support and criticism browsing any news on the topic. If you only see support for Israel have you considered its because you keep engaging with it and the algorithms think you want to see more? Regardless this is probably getting more news coverage despite the imbalance of victim counts because news agencies can actually speak to the families involved and share their stories. They can't just pop over to Palestine to talk to the murdered peoples families without greater risk to themselves.
2,200 people have been killed in the besieged territory in the last several days, including 724 children and 458 women. With a looming humanitarian crisis, that number is expected to rise.
From a statistically utilitarian standpoint, he’s right, and more empathetic. Source
I'm not saying you're incorrect about the US media but Canada is quite different culturally. When citizens are killed in terrorist or other attacks our news will regularly cover it. We have some underreporting when it comes to gang violence (especially drug crimes or crimes in immigrant communities) but we're a lot more protective of our people up here.
or crimes against your own native minorities, lol if you think Canada is all that different
directly relevant where’s the report about the Canadian UN worker killed in the Gaza air raid?
but all of this is beside the point I replied to
dudes point was 1000s of Palestinians killed yearly and its a blurb on page 3, 1 pretty white girl and it’s front page news
my point was its conveniently posted to tie into conflating fighting terrorists with a ground assault in Gaza and justifying the coming resulting atrocities
Up here in Canada we have a national holiday called Truth and Reconciliation, we're facing our demons. America is still celebrating fucking Columbus day.
Or because it's moronic whataboutism and kind of sociopathic to drop comments like that under such news? It's clear that you people don't care about the victims on either side, just what kind of political agenda you can push with it. It's disgusting.
Did you know that girl? Will this article console her family? Reporting one casualty without mentioning the 2200 Palestinian deaths masks the severity of the situation. You feign concern for one Canadian while dismissing the ongoing war crimes. It’s clear that you don’t care about the the victims in Palestine, just what kind of political agenda you can push with it. It’s disgusting.
It's a Canadian news site, reporting over the death of a Canadian citizen. But then again, you're arguing in bad faith and know this full well, so I don't even need to explain this. Unlike you, I do actually care for the victims in Palestine, I just don't use them as a tool for anti Jewish propaganda like you do.
I am Jewish. You, and western media are using any and everything to distract from the fact that Holocaust 2.0 is about to happen. And I’m in the wrong? Get a fucking grip on your humanity. I’m collapse aware and I’m a big proponent of climate change. But this singular issue should be the only thing that is reported on until the people in Palestine are safe. Anything less is sophistry and complicit with genocide. It’s not the reporting on news that is Canadian centric. It’s the failure to put it in context with the war crimes that are currently happening.
Yea, and I am very skeptical of a rave being held next to a prison with tanks actively on stand-by.
Hamas aren't heros, being set up by Israel to destabilize Palestine in the first place, but with Israeli citizens being reservist members of the military, something smells about this. Hamas has no gain from a strike against a music festival.
Ignoring circumstances and just calling them dumb terrorists is short sighted and is a blatant demonizing attempt by Israel to justify their continued oppression of Palestinians.
This is also one retaliatory attack by a nation of people's subjected to decades of violent persecution, being mad at water for boiling when left on a hot burner.
