Airstrike on Aleppo Hospital While World Watched Gaza

Aleppo's al-Farabi Hospital after a Syrian airstrike
While everyone watched Israel and Hamas slug it out, the Syrian civil war continued.
So you can be forgiven for missing a Syrian airstrike on a hospital in Aleppo.
The media wrung its hands over Palestinian casualties — collateral damage, thanks to Hamas using Shifa Hospital as cover for rocket launches and intentionally embedding itself in populated areas.
Now that the foreign press corps in Israel and Gaza have set the bar on concern for civilian casualties, will we see a similar level of righteous indignation at Syria?
Or do only Palestinians enjoy disproportionate coverage?

Will we see a similar level of righteous indignation over hospital bombings and civilian casualties in Aleppo in Syria? Talk about rhetorical questions!

There has been more misplaced, unrighteous indignation at the death toll of 157 in Gaza than at the death of 35000+ persons in the Syrian civil war.
By the way, does the number 157 inclde the 6 people killed by the terrorists in Gaza? Does it include all those killed in Gaza by the errant rockets fired at random from civilian aareas by the terrorists of Hamas and Islamic Jihad? It is important that someone compile the number of deaths caused to Gazans by their own heros.
Also, someone should compile the writings of the candidates for dishonest reporting champion on the deaths in Syria.

The deaths of Syrian civilians is not so important as the perpetratots on both sides are not Jewish. Hence, no interest. apart from which, is one side any better than the other>
Of course the Jews are to blame in Syria as they did nothing to stop the bloodshed of pure Arab blood. It’s the fault of the Jews for being ethnically cleansed from Syria, disgusting Jewish behaviour.
