It’s been one year since the Lebanese Christian village of Qaa was targeted by eight ISIS suicide bombers – an atrocity that killed five and wounded 32. Had this horror happened in the west, it would have garnered copious media coverage. But the American network news shows didn’t mention it.
In an op-ed written for Newsweek, In Defense of Christians vice president Andrew Doran commemorated the one-year anniversary of the lives that were lost. Noting Qaa’s role as a “symbol for the courage of Christians of Lebanon,” he explained that the targeting of Christians is not a new issue in the little nation – or the Middle East at large.
