Now I see the point you are making.
Yes, it is true, we will hear more about graffitti on a synagogue in the UK than we will about a school being bombed in Palestine.
Should it be that way? Of course not.
Why is it that way? Because people are basically more interested in what happens in their own back yards than far off in a country they will never visit.
Local news sells papers. Here in a small town You will most likely see a story about a cat caught up in George Applebys pine tree than read about a nuclear explosion in Japan.
Right or wrong, it is human behavior at work. We worry about ourselves and turn a blind eye when something happens to our neighbors.
But, it sells newspapaers and world wide newspapers exist because they make money.
Frustrating and unfair, yes.
Someday if things like compassion and genuine desire to learn become part of the business world, the situation will change. but, until then it has to be carried out by individuals speaking out, telling about atrocities, letting people know, that what happens to our neighbors, needs to be our concern.
