What's interesting is the hierarchy of public interest in various war zones. This latest Israel-Gaza flareup is front page stuff, and elicits poignant commentary from people like Jon Snow (who does not know nothing, BTW)
I understand that a major element to this conflict is the obvious lopsided nature of it, and the visceral outrage it incurs.
But compare it to the conflicts in Democratic Republic of Congo, where the death toll of recent years absolutely dwarfs that of all Middle Eastern conflicts combined.
Or Sudan. Or Mali. Or any of the other African wars over the last 10 years that have seen literally tens of millions of people killed, maimed and raped.
They must wonder what sub level of human evil needs to be perpetrated to garner a headline or even a back page blurb.
