It is always worth reflecting about what is and what isn’t reported, not to mention how something is reported. Here we have a Syrian who stabbed a German woman; very clear, very direct. Hind Rajab, on the other hand, and once she could no longer be ignored, became “a woman who died in Gaza”—which is not a particularly clear, direct way of referring to a 6-year old girl being shot by the IDF, along with her family and the paramedics who tried to rescue her. One way or the other, however, you may have heard about her. Oddly enough, I find that rather less likely when it comes to Iryna Zarutska, who was recently stabbed, fatally stabbed, in the USA. Her tragedy and the German tragedy were caused by the same forces, they represent the same phenomena in action. And yet, DissentWatch (nprofile…eztt), Hertu20 (nprofile…n5j9), by writing a few lines about her, you will be doing more than the CNN, the New York Times *et caterva* seem to be inclined to. Why do you think that is? Why are some bells so inconsistent in their always tolling for thee and me?
