victims and aggressors

Heavily armed terrorists opened fire on Israeli soldiers at the border with Sinai. 20-year-old corporal, Netanel Yahalomi, was slain by a bullet to the head and that another trooper was wounded. no mention about it appeared in media in Europe. Neither was it said that the Israelis were set upon by a group intent on a large-scale homicidal spree. Its members carried explosives, suicide belts, an RPD machine gun, rocket-propelled grenades, hand grenades, Kalashnikovs and ammunition. These men, though in civilian garb, weren’t out on a leisurely stroll.

Yet, when  in reciprocal attack 3 of those terrorists were killed the titles everywhere went saying in capital letters: Three Palestinians shoot in Sinai.
The average person, not knowing much about ME - as most people are (we can't all be educated about everything, some knowledge we just have from everyday papers and we don't try to verify it) probably has the picture of IDF chasing some stone -throwing Arab boys and feel outraged (well, stone throwing is not nice but hardly a reason to shot somebody). They have no idea about the murderous spree, Israeli victims, the ongoing battle to save lives.

BTW these are not only Jewish lives (as if it mattered; humans are humans), but also those of Israeli Arabs, tourists from around the world or African illegal immigrants whom those soldiers were trying to save - yes they were illegals but that didn't mean they should perish of thist somewhere on the desert.
Now - compare it with shooting by Egyptian/ Libyan or Sudanese soldiers to such immigrants or simply with over 1,000 those who have drowned at Mediterranean Sea this year only trying to get to Europe (some sent SOS signals which were ignored by European ships).

And now let me ask you a question (nearly as the one addressed to jury in "A time to kill" movie:)) : if the territory of the country of your residency where you live with your family was constantly attacked by terrorists, rockets and by such suicidal terrorists trying to get inside and just kill as many as possible wouldn't you want your border patrols to prevent it? Wouldn't you think that maybe tey saved the life of your child?
Would you regret so much those with bombs, suicide belts and kalashnikovs or rather their potential victims?

Now, why is it that European papers consider those who go to murder so "heroic" and worthy and those who just try to live their lives without harming anybody not important?

And if you feel it as ridicule and evil as I do (I admit it) share this information with whoever you can.
