I am sorry but that's not true.

Gaza doesn't get coverage.

The Western MSM pushes the Israeli propaganda and the Zionist position.

On this topic they have zero credibility when they try to manufacture a picture that doesn't exist and a consensus that doesn't exist.

Israel is the occupier and it's committing war crimes, ethnic cleansing, crimes against humanity. Many say it's committing genocide.
The world isn't having it and most countries have turned against Israel. Spain/Ireland
/Norway/ South Africa, and over 145 countries recognise Palestinian Statehood and many of them are directly accusing Israel of war crimes, ethnic cleansing, genocide.

Yeah, once again Notran Im aware of your opinion, probably know your viewpoint better than some of my family and friends on the subject. Just because you state something over and over doesn't make it any less of your opinion and turn it into fact. This is a well-known troll tactic BTW

My premise and the fact is the West reports about Gaza and its plight significantly more than the larger plight of the Sudanese. Where are the air drops and 500 Million spent to get aid to the innocent Sudanese? 

The media generally will cover what thier readers and viewers are motivated to read, the west has eased its overall position on Palestine but respectfully there's no excuse for 10/7 no matter the Palestinian rationale, from the minds of most Americans, REALITY. Thus most are going to NOT support other Palestinian causes as a result, there's a reason some of the young, naive teens and college-age mistakenly believe every word of Palestinian propaganda. This demographic only exposure to war is Russia/Ukraine where it's obvious who the aggressor is. Israel and Palestine are a much more complex and intricate situation with hundreds of years of history and the always-emotional religious component. It would be completely naive to believe we could snap our fingers and have a Palestinian state inserted into 2024 Israel and it be a peaceful and violent free transition. 

I also said virtually all sources have biases, just as we both do, based on our life experiences, no more no less. 

All Im suggesting is that if the college protests were supposed to change Western opinions they did a poor job, considering most protesters have no clue what river and sea the chant refers to it's hard to follow or respect those "intelligent and educated" opinions. Especially when most of thier news comes from suspect TikToc videos and unvetted social media posts. 

It seems in this thread at least we have reached a point of diminishing returns. The GP is always subject to thier respective governments, TPTB media influence but atleast in America we can discuss both sides even if we disagree vehemently. Therein lies the difference America we can disagree, have different opinions and discuss them, while in other parts of the world political opposition, people of different, religious persuasions and sexual attitudes get tossed off 15 story buildings or get stoned to death, not even going to get into other basic human rights violations

What is Hamas and why is it fighting Israel?Hamas became the sole ruler of Gaza after violently ejecting political rivals in 2007.
It has an armed wing and was thought to have about 30,000 fighters before the start of the war.
The group, whose name stands for Islamic Resistance Movement, wants to create an Islamic state in place of Israel. Hamas rejects Israel's right to exist and is committed to its destruction.Hamas justified its attack as a response to what it calls Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people.
These include security raids on Islam's third holiest site - the al-Aqsa Mosque, in occupied East Jerusalem - and Jewish settlement activity in the occupied West Bank.
 Hamas also wants thousands of Palestinian prisoners in Israel to be freed and for an end to the blockade of the Gaza Strip by Israel and Egypt - something both countries say is for security.

It has fought several wars with Israel since it took power, fired thousands of rockets and carried out many other deadly attacks.Israel has repeatedly attacked Hamas with air strikes and sent troops into Gaza in 2008 and 2014.
Hamas, or in some cases its armed wing alone, is considered a terrorist group by Israel, the US, the EU, and the UK, among others.
Iran backs Hamas with funding, weapons and training.
