Is western media unbiased?
Nope. Which is why I also don’t take Western media’s reporting on Palestine for granted.

China is probably maintaining a front of neutrality while giving Iran economic support like they’re doing for Russia.
I mean in the short term no but remember that it was Israel having to fight Egypt and Syria after they actually got their armies up to modern standards to give up on Sinai. Their delusions of invincibility fuel much of Israel’s treatment of Palestinians neighboring states, so a good reminder of the lesson they learned in the 6th of October (aka Yom Kippur) might help.
Israel has spent so much time running over Palestinians they need to remember what it’s like to fight a real army.
Apparently they failed three fact checks on mediabiasfactcheck.com, so you can check that. Also even if they don’t falsely report they can omit information or put a spin on things (for example in this case there could be other targets in this round of bombings that don’t sound as good and were left out). In these cases it’s better as a rule to compare the reporting with that of other sources.
I mean it is a Lebanese paper but it’s also notoriously biased towards Iran (and therefore Hezbollah) and Syria, and Hezbollah is suspected to be their source of funding. They’re just not the most likely to impartially report on Hezbollah’s activities in the same way people don’t unconditionally trust Al-Jazeera’s reporting on Qatar. Also the title is oozing bias for something that’s not an opinion peace.
Okay reporting is reporting but speaking as another pro-Palestinian guy couldn’t you have found a better source?
Other commenters have explained why it’s good better than I can, so I’ll just say: It’s good enough that my biggest dissatisfaction is that my preferred playatyle (JUSTICE FOR NAIL ARTS!!!) is unpopular.
fury of the fallen
Bruh can’t understand the struggle of nail arts players.
Uh… You do realize that literally everyone uses Gaza Health Ministry numbers and considers them reliable right?

I mean knowledge yes, money no (or at least not compared to a conventional army), and most knowledge can be obtained through the internet or people who support your cause (if you don’t have a reasonably popular cause you can’t create a grassroot paramilitary organization). Also remember that some of the bigger paramilitary organizations usually considered terrorists (I personally don’t like the term as I think it’s been corrupted beyond saving by Western politicians and media) control land the size of a small country, for example some of the ISIS branch organizations. Other than that some have state backers (see Qatar, Iran and the US) or gain money through people who support their cause or some kind of business activity (the Taliban sell cocaine for example). Hamas is a good example, and in their particular case the money mostly comes from taxes in the Gaza strip, Qatari and Iranian support and money sent by individuals from abroad (usually by Palestinians).
TL;DR: Paramilitary organizations usually don’t need as much money as conventional states, and have ways to get it. Add in a sympathetic cause and it’s doable.
Why do people care so much about this? Like seriously this is the thing you go to court over?
I mean gang violence is usually not a grand spectacle event, so it has nothing to do with the text you’re quoted.
No? The conversation was (and still is) centered around school shootings.
I mean nobody was talking about gang violence here.
This is a… Unique way of thinking about this. I’ll preface all of this by saying: Get therapy, or at least talk to people. Seriously. Feeling that every day is agony and hating your parents for giving birth to you clearly means you’re hurting somewhere. There is absolutely no need for that to be your normal.
how much better that would be for everybody.
Uh… Why are you talking like you’re the antichrist or something? In all likelihood you’re a mildly good person in the eyes of some people and a mildly bad person in the eyes of others. I mean you know yourself better than I do, but stop for a minute and think whether the dramatic statement of “how much better that would be for everybody” makes sense.
It just frustrates me that something SO SIMPLE could have saved me 41 years of daily agony.
I know that this is the product of deeper mental health issues, but I’ll just point out that you’re doing the same thing your mother did; only in your case it’s your life instead of Phil Hartman. I mean 41 years? Yeah you probably weren’t in agony before gaining object permanence, and definitely not every single day of your life. Just because things are hard now doesn’t mean you have to reject happiness you had in the past.
So what exactly was the point of trying to remove the video in the first place?
I literally did that by asking if there’s another source. I only cited MBFC because they did fact checks of the site (with a healthy dose of bias, admittedly). I wasn’t trying to cite the reliability or bias ratings because I know they’re basically arbitrary.
