I am outraged at the West Central Tribune's lack of discretion in printing the picture Dec. 6 of the grieving relatives of a Palestinian suicide bomber who killed five and wounded 40 innocent Israeli civilians.
The article goes on to tell how an Israeli security guard saved many lives by quickly hustling the terrorist away from the crowded shopping mall before detonating his bomb. If a picture paints a thousand words, why does the Tribune print a picture that leads its readers to pity those who the mere 234-word article clearly shows are the last ones we should pity?
Where are the pictures of the grieving family and friends of the Israeli security guard, a true hero who sacrificed his life to save many innocent civilians? Where are the pictures of the grieving family and friends of the four other innocent people who were killed by the terrorist? I couldn't help but notice the AP photo was taken by one Mohammed Ballas! How do you suppose he knew to be there to capture the moment of these people's greatest grief -- assuming those really were the relatives? (It is well documented that many visuals coming from the Palestinians have been staged and sold to a gullible Western media eager to find fault with Israel.)
After 9/11 you might as well have forgotten about showing us the suffering of our own people and gone to Saudi Arabia to retrieve pictures of the grieving families of the terrorists there! When will this liberal media get its head out of the sand long enough to decipher the difference between good and evil? What's it going to take? When these maniacs finally send New York, the Vatican, or some other symbol they hate with a passion up in a mushroom cloud, will we then get an apology out of you?
