(CNN) -- If you went to a baseball game tonight and looked around, and say, half the stadium was filled, you would see about 25,000 other fans. If you were living in Israel, it is likely that one of you would be killed in a terrorist attack in the next six months.
that statement appears at the top of this CNN article. i find it troubling that in the united states, such recent victims of horrific terror, one of the leading media organizations feels the need to draw a parallel with just one of the states who share similar grief at the hands of terrorists. said state just happens to be a major ally of the u.s.
the article goes on to chronicle the 'victims of terror' from the last two years, all of whom are drawn from plo(or presumably associated groups) attacks on israel.
i personally think it is irresponsible and ignorant to make such an isolated statement.
any thoughts?
