Imagine if...

Today, Russia had injured more than 3000 German civilians by exploding random phones used by Germans said to support the Ukrainian resistance. Twelve people confirmed dead including two children.

What would our headlines look like?

What would be non-stop on our TV news today?

When Israel does it - nothing.

@Jyoti No, not nothing; even worse: praise and admiration.

@aral

Sadly, you're absolutely right. Have you seen this article:

bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c30lpy

"Israel has scored a significant tactical triumph in this operation – the sort of spectacular coup you would read about in a thriller.

However there is a potentially serious strategic downside for Israel, because while this humiliates the powerful Lebanese militia and political movement, it doesn’t deter them."

Not a mention of 3,000 injured, dead children. Just praise for Israel.

Horrific.

@Jyoti Yep, sadly, I have. Abject moral failure.
