I noted a headline doing this in another thread earlier but today I saw this one:
https://www.dumptheguardian.com/world/2023/oct/12/israel-hamas-war-biden-jews-holocaust-palestine-iran-warning
Hamas attack ‘deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust’, says Biden, as Israeli jets pound Gaza
US president decries ‘campaign of pure cruelty’ and warns Iran to tread carefully as Israel conducts significant airstrikes on Palestinian enclave
Not one but two instances of "Israel is the victim....as Israel inflicts massive casualties".
None of the stories the fraud currently has on their "front" page is dedicated solely to the Israeli bombing of Gaza and it's always mentioned almost as an afterthought.
Their live thread:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2023/oct/12/israel-hamas-war-live-updates-biden-hamas-attack-holocaust-gaza-displaced-palestine
has big paragraphs for everything else but then this small entry again almost as an afterthought:
15 Palestinians killed, several wounded in Israeli strikes, says Hamas
Fifteen Palestinians were killed and several were wounded in an Israeli air strike in Gaza, Hamas Aqsa radio said on Thursday.
The death toll in Gaza stands at over 1,200 people.
and then it's on to other stories with Israel as the focus or, for a staggering comparisson, immediately after that brief, two line statement about 1200 Palesinian casualites they have this:
Thai death toll in Israel-Gaza conflict rises to 21
AFP: Twenty-one Thai nationals have been killed in the conflict between Israel and militant group Hamas, Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin said Thursday, up from the previous toll of 20.
“The update from last night is bad news that one more Thai died, the number rises to 21,” he said.
There are approximately 30,000 Thais in Israel, mostly working in the agriculture sector, according to Thailand’s labour ministry.
Fears are mounting over the fate of 14 Thai citizens who have been taken hostage.
Worried families gathered Thursday morning at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi International Airport to await the arrival of a commercial flight carrying 15 Thais, including many wounded.
Yanisa Thaweekaew, whose son Supipat Kongkaew has worked on an Israeli avocado farm since last year, said she hadn’t slept in days.
“My son is everything to me. I was worried. He is the only son I have,” she told AFP.
“I cried every day knowing that he lived in the red zone.”
Paragraphs about 21 Thais that have been killed. Much more important that 1200 Palestinians.
I'm always noticing bias in their coverage of Israel as it's an area I read a lot on and post often about but this time around the bias has been to a previously unmatched extent.
...no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.
