Old Dog Thoughts | News Corporation employs Right-Wing Broadcasters providing them with a platform ensuring the inequality of speech. Their Social Media Platforms not only advocate conservative, and extreme right-wing wing views. They monitor out most opposing opinions which they are entitled to do. However, they also simply lie when they say they provide an arena for fair and balanced discussion in a no-spin zone. They don't it's all spin.

With the Palestinian-Israeli conflict — past and present, but seemingly now more than ever — there has been widespread partisanship via Internet and news commentary. The politics of polarization outside of Israel and even the Middle East, perhaps in part for its own sake, has gotten quite disturbing.
Within social media especially, the angry and thoughtless two-dimensional views are especially amplified, including the majority posted by non-Jews and non-Palestinians.
It arouses a spectator-sport effect or mentality, with many contemptible trolls residing well outside the region yet actively supporting the ‘side’ [via politicized commentary posts] that they hate less. I anticipate many actually keep track of the bloody match by checking the day’s-end death-toll score, however extremely lopsided those numbers.
Meanwhile, Western-government political indifference towards the mass starvation and slaughter of helpless Palestinian non-combatants will only have further inflamed long-held Middle Eastern anger towards the West.
Some countries’ actual provision, mostly by the U.S., of highly effective weapons used in Israel’s onslaught will likely have turned that anger into lasting hatred seeking eye-for-an-eye redress.
