When a one-and-a-half year old Palestinian was burned to death and three of his family members were seriously wounded after their house was firebombed on July 31, 2015 in West Bank village of Douma forcing the Israeli Prime Minister to condemn the attack and calling it "terrorism", no one at Qatar Living wrote a word about it. The child’s father also died four days later while his mother and 4-year old brother remain in critical condition at an Israeli hospital.
However, when Cecil the lion was killed in an African country by a US dentist, there was uproar in the West over the "cruelty." When a dog "Fox" gets killed in the West, it is no doubt a sad affair and we get to read the minute details of how the cruel act was carried out.
There is a line of difference between the West and the East -- and a pretty thick one-- in how the way people from the West look at things than those who come from the East.
"We live in a sad world which is getting crazier." Very true, indeed!
