    all of the news coverage is anti-palestinian but I don’t see it

    Then try the NYT or the WSJ or any number of talk radio channels.

      what’s that quote about it being hard to get a person to see reason when they are pre-determined not to see reason.

      I think it’s pretty clear this buddy is interested in staying in their bubble and not interested in actually seeing what mainstream news looks like.

      the idea that mainstream news media, particularly in America, is pro-Palestinian is laughable.

      also I’d like that person to post a video of Jewish people getting treated by the police even remotely like the students protesters have been treated. if such a thing existed, I know that person would not have hesitated to post it in their first message.

        That’s easy. Plenty of the student protestors were Jewish.

      I listen to podcasts from both of those. They’re nowhere near as biased as BBC or others who are covering the situation.
