"Our Little Girl", If Only She Were Called Noa, Maya, or Roni | Oren Feldman

Oren Feldman attacks the public and media indifference to the disappearance of Haymanot Kasau, a girl who vanished in Safed. He argues that if she were a light-skinned girl from the center, the system would mobilize all its forces. The article accuses politicians of selective media motivation and abandoning a quiet family from an absorption center in the periphery.

Oren Feldman writes about Haymanot Kasau, a girl who is still missing, and her disappearance is fading from public view. He asks: if she were a light-skinned girl from the center, would we accept the same silence? The article argues that the public motivation of the Minister of National Security is driven by camera applause and headlines, and that in the absence of media pressure and a quiet family from an absorption center in the periphery, the lack of public interest translates into image immunity. Feldman calls not to accept a world where skin color and residential address determine the degree of public outcry. The article was published during the Days of Awe and forgiveness.
