The first is a legitimate statement on the impact upon a population, the latter is immoral.

Perhaps when we make a practice of doing it for all nations the victims of terrorists or massacre, this statistical practice the press employs for Israel won't jump out at me so.

To be honest, I can't recall a foreign tragedy's ever being "brought home" thus though it might have made for some impressive statistics if we'd applied this legitimate statistical analysis to places like Rwanda, Iraq or Tibet.

I'll see if I can't find you the article which got my attention. Regards.

The fact we don't hear it about all nations is probably more reflective of the smallness of the population (compared to Iraq or Tibet...) in addition to current events bringing to fore the parallels, comparisons, and contrasts between America's war on terorism and Israel's.
