It's weird that Hamas killing 20 kids by (supposedly) beheading them is worse than Israel killing hundreds of kids by dropping apartment buildings on their heads. I think that's the issue thats being taken with the media coverage.
There is obviously something disgustingly barbaric about the killing of a child with your hands compared to never having to touch them or see them in the way you do it, but as usual, the answers lie in numbers, and a single casualty of war is too many, a single child is too many, but no matter what the application, 100 kids is worse than 10.

When you look at CNN's coverage at least, they do not hold back on the atrocities Israel have been committing
Most of the world really is "both sides" except for the weirdos who take the opportunity to go after "rich Jews" letting their anti-Semitism show in the open, and the Islamophobes attributing all terrorism to an entire religion. Those fuckers can all take a hike

I agree that it's become more balanced once everyone did even 2 seconds of objectivity, but first impressions last and we saw the worlds reaction at the beginning. "We stand with apartheid....... I mean Israel! Israel! Oooopsies"

In the photograph that introduced millions of people to Wadea Al-Fayoume for the first time, the kindergartener is seen celebrating his sixth birthday at his home near Chicago.
With one hand on a blue “Happy Birthday” hat on his head, Wadea stands in the warm light of the home, surrounded by presents. On a shelf behind him sits a wooden sign proclaiming “home.” A birthday video is seen playing on the living room TV.
Inside that same home – and just eight days after that photo was snapped – Wadea was stabbed 26 times by his family’s landlord because he was Muslim, authorities have said.
The 71-year-old suspect has been charged with murder and hate crimes, among other charges, and was ordered to be held without bond during a court appearance Monday.

"Federal Prosecutor Frederic Van Leeuw described how the suspect, a 45-year-old man who wasn't identified, had posted a video online. He is alleged to have said in the video that, for him, the Qur'an is "a red line for which he is ready to sacrifice himself."
Dammit... shouldn't have clicked the link and read this shxt...
Fucking up that old landlord bastard is not going to bring the kid back, but I still want to see him get fxxked and suffer the most painful tortures before he fxxking dies from it.

What kind of evil person would stab a kid TWENTY SIX TIMES to make sure that the kid dies? That landlord is messed up!
Israel bombing hospitals oh I mean a "Hamas base"
Stand with Israel though right?
The claim needs to be verified, but I suspect it would be difficult to make up a false claim like this.
My first thought when I saw the news was how the similar this was to Russia attacking a maternity hospital in Ukraine, and then the resulting outcry for how it was an unforgivable war crime. Well guess what... if the Palestinian claim is verified to be true, then I hope the western world will apply the same judgement on Israel as they did on Russia.
That's the point, apparently the Hamas military base is under the hospital along with all their tunnels, accessed via mosques, public places, houses, so yes, the Hamas wanted the Palestinians to die or use them as a bargaining chip
It’s hilarious there is this justification from the western world
Yea we fucking FLATTENED a hospital full of sick and old people, like, it’s a literal pile of unrecognizable rubble
But.. word is…Hamas was in the basement!
So.. Israel, a country who couldn’t tell soldiers were amassing on a border the size of Metrotown, know EXACTLY where Hamas is at any given moment.. lol

It's looking like Israel is set up to fail by Hamas, they purposely triggered Israel so they'll be isolated. They are hoping what happened to Russia is going to happen to Israel.
Israel is taking the bait and doing it, but they also have no other way as it's a lose lose lose situation for them. Bomb the hospital, negative cause of casualties. Ground invasion to avoid said casualties, negative cause ground invasion. Don't do anything about it, still lose.
