The Western press too was complicit. It was clear from the beginning. There was a study done of the BBC'S coverage (haven't seen one for US Media but the NYT would be a good candidate) and it found glaring inequality and bias in the coverage. Not surprising to me, I stopped using the BBC as a reliable source on the Gaza War a long time ago. I used to highly respect the BBC.

There are reasons for this of course and none of them are laudatory or right. But it's the world we live in. Unfair.

As for Israeli TV, just like ours during the Iraq war, they presented our version of "shock and awe". And like us wirh Iraqi suffering, Israelis do not want to know about Palestinian suffering. It's just not on their radar, actually. Even now, they are claiming the pictures of starving babies are fake. Denial is strong in Israeli society.
