There is a massive coverage condemning the attack on Jerusalem synagogue on 19th November 2014 where 4 rabbis and a Druze policeman were killed. The assailants were said to be two Palestinian cousins.
It is shocking to hear on how people can target religious/ holy site for an act of terror. This act even were forbidden in Islamic tradition. Islam as a religion of peace will never allow such act.
But what I found even more shocking is how Dr. Norman Finkelstein react on that similar act. On his facebook page, Dr. Norman Finkelstein posted a photo on how the western and zionist backed media showing its double standard.
On the upperside of the photo, a caption written:
Two Palestinian men attacked on Jewish synagogue (place of worship) and media say “it was a deadly brutal terrorist attack”
While on the below part of the photo it was written:
When Israel bombed 161 mosques in Gaza then media said “Israel was defending himself”
This picture is trying to brought a notion of western hypocrisy when it comes to Israel-Palestinian conflict. Some suggest that the root cause of the conflict was the Zionist occupation while others suggest that Palestinian terrorist was the root cause. The conflict has been prolonged for 66 years and there is no sign that it will find it solution in the nearest time.
