Okay. Go to the nytimes website. Search for Israel. And then look at the language used for Israeli Actions compared to Hamas Actions.
“Conducts military strike” vs. “Fires rockets”
“X palestinians left dead” vs. “Israelis killed”
And then go to Fox news or any of the more conservative newsites. Look at german news outlets. “The incarnation of evil” is a treatment reserved for Russia and Hamas in these circles, Israel is more like a morally wonky friend, who is still supported.
The further you go back, the less the actual negative press about Israel, despite the nature of the conflict from the beginning.
It’s easy to cherry pick articles to generate a false narrative by navigating to the most conservative outlets.
Why don’t you try and search any popular search engine for ‘Israel Lebanon News’ in a private browser (to remove yourself from a browser bubble) and then try to claim that the wording in Western headlines favours Israel. All I see, in consecutive order of search results is:
‘Israel launches first airstrike…’,
‘Israel forces open fire in Lebanon…’,
‘UN troops patrol Israel-Lebanon border…’,
‘Lebanon deploys army on 2nd day…’,
‘Israel fires on Southern Lebanon…’,
‘Israel conducts first strike on Lebanon’.
Note that 4 of these portray Israel as the antagonist, 1 is neutral, and 1 portrays Lebanon as the antagonist.
I’m sorry? Were we talking about whether Western media was biased towards Israel? Are we now discussing the etymology of the word ‘bias’?
Frankly, I’m not interested in playing your game. We are taking about headlines? The headlines by and large are in opposition to Israel, which contradicts the ludicrous claim of the OP.
I refuse to play sneaky games to switch the dialogue elsewhere. The articles I provided were legitimately as unbiased as I could think of (Duckduckgo, search term ‘Israel Lebanon Conflict’, in a private tab, English language, consecutive order). They were definitively NOT in support of Israel, which contradicts the silly claim of the OP.
I accept that most people will refuse to see the nonsensical silliness of the OP’s argument. I’m not interested in discussing blame and where it should be directed.
No. My argument is that Western media is not biased in support of Israel. When challenged on this point, your argument is to accuse me of craving the death of Palestinians.
You are an immature child. Honestly sick of this crap. Past time I blocked this community.

Bullshit.

If you fire a missile, you antagonise. Have you got information on context where Hezbollah took the first action?
It’s not bias if it’s an actual fact.
The second I understand can be perceived as biased language.
Did the rocket fire first or did the army move first? Was the army movement against the ceasefire terms? Help me understand where you see the bias is.

There was no game. You just struggled to make a case and dare not respond to any of my points.
Looks like you enjoy headlines “Palestinians (that could be Hamas) liberated from life” glossing over Israel’s war crimes.
