The world free of great problems though the eyes of the Dominion
The Dominion doesn't devote a lot of space to world events, but the little space given over to these was dominated by the staggering news that a young Arab man who attacked Israeli soldiers was shot by the soldiers, and died in an Israeli hospital where they tried to care for him. The lesson to Arabs in general should have been not to attack Israeli soldiers because they don't take kindly to people who assaile them with stones and knives. But this is not quite how the Dominion presented the report. It was about Israeli oppressions, poor Arabs victimized. And of course, being the lead article on the World page, it suggested that this was the greatest problem in an otherwise happy world. No bloodshed in Africa, or in Syria and Iraq, Donetsk and the Ukraine are at peace, all is well in South or East Asia, no trouble in the Americas. If only the Israelis would sit down and have a civilized chat with stone throwing or knife wielding Arabs, not to mention those who drive their cars into people waiting for trains and buses, the whole world would attain blissful peace.
