Over the coming weeks as this plays out we will undoubtedly witness the extreme bias of the MSM some of which will be subtle or unconscious to many.  Israeli combatants will be described as ‘soldiers’ whilst Palestinians as ‘militants’ without any recognition of oppressive role the IDF is tasked with.

 

It's terrorists actually.

I'm also struggling to remember video interviews on the BBC where Palestinians are able to recount their stories of their neighbours and family being killed or the top 6 stories on the site given over to rocket launches and  IDF incursion into Gaza.

I’m struggling to understand this post.  Would you like to elucidate?

All you need to know is the Israelis are Rangers and the Palestinians are Celtic. Once you get that concept it's dead easy.

The Israelis will be struggling today after Rangers banner was focused on affairs in Ibrox and not a message of support.

I never thought I would agree with vT about anything, but he encapsulated it perfectly with a post that he was quoted in earlier. The whole thing is utterly futile & Israel have become everything they have had to defend themselves against for Centuries.

Well, that’s some American citizens being reported as dead. US saying it will try to verify these deaths first, and then “make sure Israel has what it needs”.

Also, has Palestine been solely referred to as Gaza before in the news? Or is this a new thing?

Haven’t seen the nation been referred to by its name once in the headlines.

Being absolutely bombarded by Israeli government propaganda on YouTube all day - seems like every advert is stark messages about how they're under attack and need support, underscored by footage of mangled bodies and crying children.

Yup, shite from Channels/Profiles I’ve never had an incline of looking at, suddenly popping up all over the place on pretty much every platform. Utter nonsense.

One of the massively promoted social media posts was from something like.

Truth News, or something equally crazy talking about how Israel are the peaceful side in all this or some equal nonsense. Proper Cheryl Cole moment.

War is stupid, 2 state solution needed, however is impossible.

Israeli policy under every government since the 1970s has been to make the 2 state solution impossible by breaking up the West Bank into Palestinian bubbles surrounded by continually expanding settler communities, cut off with no external borders not under Israeli control, and equally cut off from Gaza which is effectively a prison camp allowed some internal control by the inmates. The supposed good old days of Labour governments had exactly the same policy, the 2 state myth is to cover up the profoundly undemocratic fact that Palestinians will never be allowed to vote for their real rulers because it would make Israeli Jews a minority.
