the same can be said for deaths within israel, when people israelis are killed by "their own." The way people are killed does in fact have an affect upon the society around it..and there is a "pecking order" or outrage.....as seen by the headlines.

a black child killed by a white man in the US will be headline news... that same child killed by a drug addicted black neighbor probably wont even rate a couple lines somewhere in the same paper....

It may not take away from the fact that the kids are dead, nor from their intrinsic worth, nor from the loss that the family now has to bear...but us humans in our societies do have judgement calls on "our own" vs the other.
