MEDIA COVERAGE OF SKRIPAL CASE VERSUS PALESTINE – UNPUBLISHED LETTER TO IRISH TIMES

Sir,
the poisoned Russian ex-spy Sergei Skripal has partially recovered from the nerve agent attack and was released from hospital with little media fanfare on the eve of the British Royal Wedding. Over 100 Russian diplomats, including one from Ireland, remain expelled despite no evidence of the Russian Government being involved in poisoning Skripal and his daughter Yulia.
The 62 Palestinians murdered by Israel in Gaza last week are still dead and many of those horrifically injured will likely die from their wounds. Yet not one Israeli diplomat has been expelled from western countries despite the clear evidence of Israel’s crimes, much of which is recorded on camera.
The plight of the people of Gaza is once again receding from the collective consciousness, manipulated so deviously by the mainstream media.
Yours etc.
