Friday the 13th is always regarded as an unlucky day. On this day, the world will remember the brutal attacks on Paris. However, what the world will not remember is that Paris was not the only place attacked by ISIS.

Two ISIS suicide bombers struck southern Beirut the same day, leaving over 40 people dead. The number of bombers almost rose to three, but officers were able to arrest him before he was able to inflict any damage. Not only did it destroy human lives, but the explosion also destroyed four large buildings.

However, it does not hold enough human interest for the news to report on it because it happens so often. Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, has received the majority of attacks from Syria, thus becoming  a dangerous place for all who live there.

According to Vox magazine, only four news sources covered this event. CNN, one of the most viewed news stations, only had a brief segment devoted to honoring those killed.

Another terror attack in Israel ended the lives of a 40-year-old rabbi and his 18-year-old son. This rabbi was planning to walk his daughter down the aisle in the coming week, but unfortunately won’t be able to.

In better news, ISIS executioner Mohammed Emwazi, also known as “Jihadi John” was killed according to US military news on Friday. Jihadi John killed many people, but our government’s decision to kill him is producing controversy.

When searching the described events on the Internet, the articles are very spread out over the week. However, when searching about the Paris attacks, their are up-to-the-hour updates on all that has been happening.

I am not not saying that the lives of the 128 victims of the Paris attacks are not important. This event was extremely horrific, but the other tragedies should be reported on equally.

Not only as an American citizen but a world citizen, I want to know everything that is happening in the world, and not have our propaganda-like and biased news hide anything from us. Isn’t that what it means to have freedom – to know everything that is going on in our world without a filter?

Is it fair to the people of the world that we are overshadowing all the other bad things that are happening to countries that aren’t necessarily our allies? Shouldn’t our news sources be responsible for teaching us about everything that has occurred in the world, and not include what they themselves want for human interest purposes?

We, as a society, should change “Pray for Paris” to “Pray for Paris and Beirut and Israel and every other country impacted by ISIS”.
