    Maybe, and I’m just spitballing here, but maybe that is because there is far far more suffering and atrocities being committed on Palestinians? No, that would just make too much sense.

    Let’s just assume The Guardian wrote 10 times as many articles about the suffering of Palestinians than the suffering of the Israelis. That would only make sense if there happened to be 10 times as much suffering. Since 7 Oct, roughly 2050 Israelis have been killed and roughly 74,000 Palestinians have been killed. That is definitely not 10 times as much suffering. It is more like 36 times as much suffering. And that is only the deaths (most of whom were civilians who had nothing to do with the attacks). How many Israeli hospitals have been destroyed? How many Israeli homes have been destroyed? How many Israelis have been permanently displaced?

    It’s almost like you believe that Palestinians have lower value than Israelis.
