With everything going on, and how there's a significant bias in mainstream media, I think they'll award the Nobel Peace Prize to Netanyahu just like Obama, with much fanfare & accolades from West.
It's never about the peace, it's about securing the interest of the West.
The bias is towards Palestine. Every news org outside of the NYT and maybe FOX is publicizing the Palestinian version of events and demonizing Israel for winning a fight that was brought to them.
You guys want to act like you're the underdog side in this, but the world is backing Palestine even though they are led by barbarous animals who don't give a shit about their people or true justice.
Quit telling Palestine they're in the moral right on every level and start encouraging them to oust their rapist, zealot leaders, and maybe then peace can be achieved.
What is the Palestinian version of events? If you just state the facts and nothing else, Israel looks positively villainous. And that’s before editorializing.
If Israel was actually the underdog there wouldn't still be a genocide going on.
Palestine <> Hamas
If you actually take a deeper look into the situation, it’s a lot more complicated than “good guy, bad guy” - and there’s millions of civilians on both sides who don’t deserve death, apartheid, or to live in fear of attacks from the sky.
What’s missing is a willingness of the leadership on both sides to step aside, and do what’s right for their country and people, not just themselves and their clients/patrons.
