More dehumanization of dead Jews

Not that I expect the AP to care, but many hours after yesterday’s suicide bombing, they have yet to put the names of the murder victims in the article.

The name of the terrorist has been there almost since the get-go.

Wednesday’s suicide bomber was identified as a 20-year-old from the West Bank town of Qabatiyeh. His name, Hassan Abu Zeid, was announced over a bullhorn in Qabatiyeh, residents said. Israeli police said the man had been standing in line at the falafel stand before blowing himself up.

His parents were evacuating their home, fearing an Israeli response. His mother, Raqaiah, wailed, “Where are you, my dear son?” Relatives said he worked as a blacksmith with his father and disappeared after morning prayers Wednesday.

Six people, including the bomber, were killed in the blast, rescue service officials said. More than 30 people were wounded, nine of them seriously, they said.

There’s also a picture of his mother “wailing.”

No pictures of grieving relatives of murder victims. But in an earlier story, there’s this picture of Israeli rescue workers loading a body of one of the murder victims into an ambulance. I suppose that counts for something.

Ha’aretz has the names of four of the victims:

Jamil Mohammed Ka’adan, 48, of Baka al-Garbiyeh; Michael Koifman, 68, of Hadera; Sabiha Nissim, 66, of Moshav Ahituv; and Perahiya Makhlouf, 53, of Hadera.

Uh-oh, at least one of those names sounds Arab. Let’s keep a watch and see if he shows up in the next day or so.

The dehumanization of murdered Jews, begun centuries ago and brought to a horrific peak in the last century, continues–nonstop–in the twenty-first century. In the meantime, Iran calls for the destruction of Israel and the death of all the Jews inside, but the world will not stop this nation from achieving a nuclear weapon.

Do you truly doubt where they will test the first one? I don’t.
