Yasser Arafat was a horrible leader.

True.
I’m not talking about big statements in one direction, but more subtle coverage. This has impact, however.
Examples I’ve noticed.
Very limited photos of Israel’s atrocities.
Frequent personal stories and photos of Israeli and Jewish victims, with very limited ones about Palestinians
Use of passive voice when describing atrocities
Referral to the conflict as a ‘war’ (implies equality) ‘with Hamas’- as if Israel is fighting with Hamas, and not slaughtering innocents
I’ve been listening to public radio the last two days and even they do this -
1. A long personal piece yesterday on an iraqi Jew who was forced to leave Iraq in 1969.
2. Segment from someone arguing that Gaza is not a genocide, and that plenty of food has been delivered.
3. References to the ‘war against Hamas’
4. Passive voice ‘gazans are suffering hunger’. Not ‘Israel is starving Palestinians’

Agree true, but I genuinely do not understand why.
I know AIPAC and other Israel/zionist lobbies buy politicians, and so maybe it is all about money. And the contractors that profit after wars we get in for Israel. But I genuinely do not understand why. It boggles my mind why we do so much for Israel, when they cost us so much.
