Almost no one bothered to report it. A search of the nation's
largest newspapers turned up nothing in USA Today, the Boston Globe, Boston
Herald, Chicago Sun-Times, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, San Francisco
Chronicle, Seattle Times, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Houston Chronicle, Tampa
Tribune, etc.
There was nothing on CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, PBS, NPR, Fox News.
Nothing.
The LA Times, the Washington Post, the New York Times, and Associated
Press each had one sentence, at most, telling about her. All three left out the
details, the LA Times had her age significantly off, and the Washington Post
reported that she had been killed by an Israeli tank shell.
It hadn't been a tank shell that had killer her, according to
witnesses. It had been bullets, multiple ones, fired up close.
Neighbors report that Israeli soldiers had been beating her
husband because he wasn't answering their questions. Foolishly or valiantly,
how is one to say, the 35-year-old woman had interfered. She tried to explain
that her husband was deaf, screamed at the soldiers that her husband couldn't
hear them and attempted to stop them from hitting him. So they shot her.
Several times.
