Sky News: Where's the Outrage?

Must read: Tim Marshall of Sky News wonders where's the outrage over the Hamas executions of Jund Ansar Allah loyalists?

Thirty Palestinians killed. Women and children caught in the crossfire. Missiles fired at a Mosque. Muslim prisoners 'executed' in cold blood. A massacre. Media restrictions. A familiar tale? Indeed. International outrage and demonstrations in the streets of London? Nope.
And why might that be? Why it's simple. The Palestinians were were killed by Palestinians and, it would appear from the lack of reaction that in those circumstances their lives are cheap, but when they are killed by Israelis it is an outrage . . .
After they took the building they rounded up the survivors. Mobile phone footage shows what appears to be Hamas men 'executing' some of them.
It is not hard evidence, but local reporters say that is what happened, and the footage is certainly of the aftermath of the attack. Audio material has Hamas commanders ordering the killings.
I put 'executed' in quotation marks as in this context, ie, the killing of someone, it is a legal term. But in the context of what Hamas did, perhaps it should be substituted for murdered.
And where is the outrage about these murders. The marches, the petitions, the calls for a boycott, the conspiracy theory of a war against Muslims, ad infinitum? I hear just the wind blowing across the freshly dug graves. Because unless the Israelis kill them, people don't care.

Some journalists, like Orly Halpern, don't think it's a "massacre" because, in Halpern's words:

Can a battle between official security forces and an illegally armed group who has declared a new political regime to replace the one of the democratically elected ruling party be either ‘indiscriminate’ or a ’slaughter’?

Hamas revealed its contempt for democracy by overrunning Gaza in a bloody 2007 takeover and continues to manifest its contempt for human life. So yes, "indiscriminate" and "slaughter" are reasonable descriptions.

Read Marshall's j'accuse, watch the footage online and draw your own conclusions.
