“The general thought among all Palestinian Christians now is to immigrate, after their homes and businesses were destroyed, and since there is no political horizon signaling an end to this crisis,” he added, expressing his fear that the total destruction of Gaza is “sweeping away everyone either under the rubble or into the desert.”

They’re considered disposable life, apparently. … But then maybe Israel and Westerners in general, including our legacy news-media, have been getting accustomed to so many Palestinian deaths over many decades of Palestinian/Hamas-Israel warring. It seems to me that for quite some time, Palestinians have been perceived thus treated as not being of equal value to those within Israel.
Therefor their great suffering and deaths are somehow less worthy of our actionable concern as otherwise relatively civilized nations. Atrociously, the worth of such life can/will be measured by the overabundance of protracted conditions under which it suffers.
Meanwhile, the general western corporate news-media’s ‘coverage’, in particular that by Canada’s National Post daily newspaper, of the Israel-Palestinian conflict in particular reveals how ethically challenged they have allowed themselves to become.
This includes their reporting on the current and past violence but especially their shameful non-reporting on the consequential anti-Palestinian social injustices that continue in between every military flare up over decades of Israeli occupation. Palestinian suffering and deaths in their entirety need to matter as much as that of Israelis.
