Gee, let's see. Malala was younger, and all she was doing was saying girls should go to school when crazy Muslims tried to murder her, shooting her on her school bus. The other is 16 and assaulted Israeli soldiers during a violent demonstration, repeatedly. She doesn't face death or even long imprisonment. The Israeli courts are far, FAR more secular, tolerant and fair than anything in the Muslim world could ever aspire to be.

Now suppose you tell us why you and all the other desperate, hand-wringing progressives who scour the internet in search of reasons to condemn Israel haven't said word one about the way Turkey's Islamist government is bombing and attacking Kurdish areas across their border. I mean, this isn't even in retaliation for anything. It's simply part of their ongoing attempt to destroy any kind of leadership, unity or home for Kurds in Iraq and Syria as they ruthlessly oppress their own Kurdish population. I can just imagine if this was Israel bombing and invading Lebanon or Syria or Palestinian areas how you and the others would squealing like pigs (no pun intended).

You quite conveniently ignore the bits about her cousin getting shot in the head and the teargas being fired into the yard blowing the windows out of the house. I'm surprised you, after much hand wringing I can imagine, you chose to support Malala since she seems to be quite a bit more obviously a dark skinned foreigner.
