Hi AC,

The question I sometimes see posed is "How many people are being killed in the world each day?". Over 30 Christians killed daily in Nigeria for the crime of being Christian. Many more in the rest of Africa I should think, Mali and Mozambique for example. Lots more killed in the civil wars in Syria and Yemen. Well over a million dead in Ukraine. Any direction you travel will take you to another tragedy.

So why do we almost exclusively hear about killings in Gaza? They are at war with Israel, so it isn't like they are dying for the same reason as the Christians in Nigeria. Marches every day in nearly every western nation. I hold to the conspiracy theory that the marches are sponsored by Hamas with the backing of at least Iran, Nazi China and Nazi Russia, and probably a few other countries as well. I don't discount any killing: It's all horrible, but death in Gaza is no more a tragedy than death elsewhere.
