    I don’t know if things are different in the US but I haven’t seen much indifference to the bombing of Palestine. I’ve seen an awful lot of mention of children killed, etc.

      The republican party is pushing bills through the lower branch that enshrine real antisemitism through Zionism. That’s where US media and politics are at regarding the genocide.

      They’re somewhat different. Our news media doesn’t properly question our security agencies (they basically stopped doing this after 9/11), and Israel is our strongest Middle East alley, so they tend to present the Israeli narrative of the war with little or no scrutiny. That being said, given the sheer amount of destruction and death caused by the Israeli bombings, our media really can’t ignore the suffering of the Palestinians this time. They’re still far too deferential to Israel’s justification for the suffering, but they’re not ignoring.

      This depends a lot on where you are. This is a heavily partisan issue so you’ll likely find rural Republicans who haven’t seen many people IRL who have issues with the bombing of Palestine.

      Have you heard about them bombing Lebanon yesterday though, or even for the last few months? It got a passing mention and only in the context of “this might cause Iran to respond”. And there’s a few more flags on that picture.

      Its different from European coverage yes, but it’s also not even remotely similar to what people like ozma keep claiming it is. The Palestine issue is being talked about CONSTANTLY, just perhaps still not with enough urgency. They then just hyperbolize it into shit like this “meme”

      The beauty of not consuming any main stream media is that it can have said or not said anything you want to confirm your beliefs.
