Magnitude and optics matter. This guy gets his own articles along with the german girl while the children being bombed in Gaza are just statistics.
Essentially, imagine if what happened to this guy was happening to dozens of children daily. Because it is.
This is a completely different situation though and different issue – it’s a Jewish man being murdered in the US at a pro Palestine rally. Where, it should be noted, everyone rushed to help him, including those rallying. That’s why he gets his own article.
We don’t need to play oppression Olympics. Most people are capable of being simultaneously horrified at what’s likely antisemitism and also Israel bombing a pediatric hospital.
It’s actually really important that we keep these things separate. A Jewish person dying is not the time to mention Israel’s genocide, because it can be seen as connecting the two together to minimize the murder. Antisemites would love to link the two together and pretend it creates a justification. Let’s not do their work for them.
