When we compare the good result of the water-landing of Flight 1549 with the indiscriminate “collateral damage” occurring in Gaza, we can only conclude one thing: American lives are much more important than Palestinian lives. After all, saving those 155 American lives was “miraculous,” according to American media reports (listen to this report [1]and check out this article). Captain Sullenberger [2] is a “hero” for not allowing 155 people to die. After all, human lives are precious, even when we know nothing about those 155 lives other than they are mostly American lives.
Compare, then, to the Palestinian deaths in Gaza. There have been more than 1,000 of them, the equivalent of more than 6 plane-loads of human passengers. More than 300 of those who have died violent deaths in Gaza are children.
A human life is a human life, right? Not at all.
