Seventeen British nationals including children are dead or missing in Israel after attacks by Palestinian militant group Hamas.
The BBC has cited an official source, after the previous estimate from the weekend’s attack was originally placed at “more than 10”.
Only a few names have been confirmed among the deceased, including 20-year-old Nathanel Young, who had been a serving solider with the Israeli Defence Forces.
I remember reading some article on Reddit some years ago where the author had some calculation on how much a foreigner’s life was worth compared to an American. But that’s all I remember.
I think we even see it regionally as well, not just country to country. Oh that happened 8 hours from me even if it was in my own state, vs oh that happened 10 minutes from where I live. People tend to take more notice when it hits closer to home.
