Do We Care More About a Dead Lion, or Dead Children?

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article42521.htm

What a strange and frightening world we live in. We shed crocodile tears for “Cecil”, the preserve lion of Zimbabwe who was killed by a sport hunter in a very unsportsmanlike way. It got the attention of all the media outlets, and we even had one late night comedian in tears for our friendly lion Cecil. Meanwhile not a whimper, care, or tear, for the little baby who was burned alive in his home as Israeli settlers set fire to his home this week. We all know Cecil’s name, but no one knows the name of the dead baby. We shed not a tear for 135 civilians including 75 children of Palestine, killed in what Amnesty International called, “a day of carnage”, after its investigation of the vicious Israeli attack on Gaza in 2014. Not one tear.
