Stories like this were entirely absent. Why? /1
This is shocking news. Nothing and no one is safe from the rampage of Israeli forces, not even a well known and respected educational bookshop. Our call is for the release of Mahmoud and Ahmad Muna.
Just imagine if that had happened to an American, French, not to mention Israeli pregnant woman. It would have been headline news - rightly so - everywhere. But not so when a Palestinian 8-month pregnant woman is shot dead. Then it is not newsworthy... https://t.co/oUqBcYZ01G
