Family of a Canadian-Israeli woman, who was missing since Hamas militants ambushed a music festival in southern Isreal last Saturday, says she has died(opens in a new tab).
Twenty-two-year-old Shir Georgy went missing after the militant group attacked the music festival near Kibbutz Re’im last Saturday.
Georgy’s aunt, Michal Bouganim, says the family is a mess and heartbroken.
And? I don’t want to be cynical but why is one Israelian person found dead newsworthy while thousands of citizens are getting murdered in Palestine?
You can’t figure out why a Canadian outlet is reporting on a Canadian citizen?
A Canadian news site posting an article about a Canadian citizen killed in another country seems reasonable to me.
Yep, news sites also post about Canadian’s killed or harmed in Gaza

CTV News has its issues, but they do report on both
There was also this from CBC, which is generally better for coverage

If someone in your family is killed would you find it more newsworthy than other people killed in Palestine? Canadians find it too.
Yea, and I am very skeptical of a rave being held next to a prison with tanks actively on stand-by.
Hamas aren’t heros, being set up by Israel to destabilize Palestine in the first place, but with Israeli citizens being reservist members of the military, something smells about this. Hamas has no gain from a strike against a music festival.
Ignoring circumstances and just calling them dumb terrorists is short sighted and is a blatant demonizing attempt by Israel to justify their continued oppression of Palestinians.
This is also one retaliatory attack by a nation of people’s subjected to decades of violent persecution, being mad at water for boiling when left on a hot burner.
Your vote totals tell me most people believe Palestinian lives don’t count, which is borne out by US policy towards Israel.
Or because it’s moronic whataboutism and kind of sociopathic to drop comments like that under such news? It’s clear that you people don’t care about the victims on either side, just what kind of political agenda you can push with it. It’s disgusting.
