Looking at the two big news publishers in my country. One isn't reporting about the current bombings at all, while the other one is phrasing their words mostly anti-Palestinian.

Is there some neutral coverage I can keep up to? Where do you guys get your info from?

    BBC is often well regarded but not for this issue, they definitely have a pro Isreal spin to their coverage.

    And yet they find themselves being accused of "blood libel" by the government of Israel.

    I'm with OP, I don't know where to find facts that I can be assured are being related without (conscious) bias.

    I just wish people of either side and outside could stop being shitty to each other for five goddam minutes.

    Modern conflict in Asia/Middle East, (...) is largely upheld by western activity

    That's a funny way to spell Iran

    Iran is a big one, but Kuwait, Lebanon, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, they've all suffered western destabilization efforts. They aren't in the news as much, so most people don't even know about it, but that's exactly my point.

    Do you in all seriousness consider the current conflict in Yemen a Western plot?

    Iran funds an insurgency, Saudi intervenes, and it's all the fault of the West. I see.

    Do you believe there are significant conflicts in the world that aren't a result of Western plotting? How guilty do you consider the West of the civil war in Myanmar, for example?

    What you said was that modern conflicts are upheld by Western activity. I'm trying to illustrate that you will usually have to dismiss the proximate causes, and sometimes construe very stilted and tenuous explanations, to make that statement fit reality.

    America is very powerful and has a presence over much of the world. In virtue of this power, their involvement, or lack of involvement, is always an important factor in conflicts. This does not mean that they cause those conflicts.
