Where Were The Protesters When The Missiles Were Hitting Israel?

The question is asked in today's Jerusalem Post. Oh where indeed were the protesters when those Hamas Qasssam rockets killed seven Israelis over the last two years?

We were probably a bit distracted by the endless supply of vastly worse carnage in so many other ugly corners of the globe.

What does seven deaths really amount to? A small fraction of a wedding party bombed into oblivion in one instant in Afghanistan? A relatively minor market bombing in Iraq? Don't even get into Darfur or the Congo where the dead are tallied from six figures up to nine.
