DuraLife in the Palestinian Authority seems to look good compared to the slums of Rio de Janeiro. Describing the bloodshed in the city’s favelas, or shantytowns, the Washington Post writes:

The favelas are statistically the most violent sections of Rio, a city where the number of juvenile deaths attributed to violence far exceeds that of many war zones. From 2002 through 2006, 729 Israeli and Palestinian minors were killed as a result of the violence in Israel and the occupied territories, according to B’Tselem, an Israeli human rights group. During the same period in Rio de Janeiro, 1,857 minors were reported murdered, according to the Institute of Public Security, a state research center.

It’s not likely any Brazilian youths will be shot in front of TV camera crews. So don’t expect the MSM to confer on anyone the poster boy status currently enjoyed by Mohammed Dura.
