(Gatestone Institute) Khaled Abu Toameh - A report published this week by the Working Group for Palestinians in Syria revealed that 2,596 Palestinians have been killed since the beginning of the conflict in that country in 2011. Journalists covering the Middle East do not believe that this is an important story because of the absence of any Israeli role in the killings. Some 80,000 Palestinians have fled their homes in Syria due to the ongoing conflict. Last week Muslim terrorists from the al-Qaeda-affiliated An-Nusra group executed six Palestinians from Yarmouk refugee camp in Syria after finding them guilty of "blasphemy." Another report published recently revealed that 264 Palestinians have died as a result of torture in Syrian government prisons over the past few years. Had any one of them died in an Israeli prison, his story and photo would have appeared on the front page of newspapers in the U.S. and Europe.
