    Why are all the anti Israel things from middleeasteye.net? Can you find multiple sources for these things, so it sounds more trustworthy? Otherwise it’s just one claim against another.

      I have another question. Why is there so little anti-Israel coverage in the MSM?

      They’re committing atrocities just as bad as Hamas, yet we are supposed to applaud them?

      Why when Hamas kill babies it’s Hamas’ fault, but when Israel kills babies that’s also Hamas’ fault.

      If you go by the logic that Hamas’ actions have given Israel no choice but to indiscriminately kill people. Then it could be said that Israel keeping Palestinians in an open air prisión gave Hamas no choice couldn’t we?

      I get that the situation is fucked, but I think we should have a little consistency. Like is it ok to kill babies or not? As if it is I know some right annoying babies that I wouldn’t mind you know…

        Western countries are generally allied with Israel, so it stands to reason this is the default position for media in these countries. For this reason, you probably won’t find much purely anti-Israel content. Instead, there’ll be both pro-Israel coverage and neutral coverage that denounces both sides. There’s plenty of the latter, even if pro-Israel coverage dominates overall.

      So far, only Al-Jazeera and Middle East eye have given a neutral point of view. Western media is almost completely unabashedly pro-Israel.
