1. If Israel kills 1 Arab terrorist the world erupts in outrage
Charles   (08.30.11)
If Arabs kill 50, 000 Arab people, the world hardly bats an eyelash.
2. Muslim deaths
Robby ,   San Jose, USA   (08.30.11)
Libya is 97% Muslim, and Islam is the official state religion, it's probably safe to assume most of the 50,000 deaths were Muslim vs. Muslim. Wonder how they'll try to implicate Israel and Jews on this one?
3. #1 you didn't notice that NATO got involved then?
(08.31.11)
all of the warplanes sent by NATO tell me that the world DID take notice of the deaths in Libya. And how about the sanctions on Gaddaffi - did you miss them too? Is Israel under sanctions? Is NATO bombing Israel? Jeeez...
4. 50,000 killed in Libyan uprising...
William ,   Israel   (08.31.11)
which is more than twice the total dead, on all sides together, from Israel's founding until today.
5. #1 Media is anti Israel
Jason perry ,   USA TX   (08.31.11)
You very right media focuses more on Israel and hence world shouts all over against Israel actions.
6. to #3 not cause of uprising, cause Europe
ghostq   (08.31.11)
got financial investments in Lybia, other wise Nato would have done the same to Syria, oh and public UN investigation Drayfus style was never done to Gadaphi only to IDF soldiers after cast lead Goldston kept quiet even now. wonder y. the UN court never addressed Gadaphi.
7. I agree #1
Victor Sam ,   Australia, Sydney   (08.31.11)
Where is UN now...no fingers pointed on libya and now syria is following the same ...what about egypt it is not limelight at all.
8. Many are missing #1
Riyaz ,   Jordan Amman   (08.31.11)
This is not the correct figure there are many more killed and many are missing.Poor families are without son,father and brother. what is happening in Egypt,syria and libya.
9. because of Israel
observer ,   Egypt   (08.31.11)
each Libyan side accused the other of working with Israel. At lest one of them is right.
10. #8 thankyou for an intelligent talkback
(08.31.11)
Ynet meet Riyaz...Riyaz meet Ynet , home to the most self-obsessed talkbackers on planet internet...
11. #6 ghostq ..please explain
matt ,   usa   (08.31.11)
how Europe's investments were put at risk by the near certainty that Gaddafi would quickly and efficiently restore order to Libya following the upsising. I look forward to your explanation.
12. #1
(08.31.11)
Israel kills terrorists every week of the year. 99% of the world don't even bother reading the news stories about it. If you truly believe the world cares so much about what happens in Israel try checking the ''most read'' feature on the Fox News website. You will find that people are interested in all sorts of things but Israel + terrorists is not one of them.
