Ukrainians are killed, Palestinians die
When you so badly want to outrage others, you can find things to cause others to be so badly be outraged.
This meme is as bad as the “man in the street” interviews that only show you the side they want you to see.

You’re the one doing the man in street thing though. The post’s point holds up statistically yours doesn’t https://theintercept.com/2024/01/09/newspapers-israel-palestine-bias-new-york-times/

One of your examples was from 2021, before the current conflict. It doesn’t help your argument that you have to go back so far to find examples.

Hope’s the only thing that keeps me going. Thanks for helping me raise awareness about the genocide in Gaza.

It’s my post. Kinda difficult to leave.
Ap and Reuters are more reputable journalists, but most of the ““news”” is broadcast by spin sites like CNN/fox/MSNBC/whatever crap
Proceeds to show international news wires and international sources to show neutrality, thus steel manning the outrageous meme.
Edit: Find a NY Times or Washington Post next time to invalidate the meme.
Here’s my list:

One of them was really good. The Wash. Post article was great too. Thanks for taking the time.

I thought you could use a basic understanding.
“What made you so radicalized?”
You did, Israel.
fked up society we live in…
I hate that I had to exist in this timeline of life.
I’m confused. What is this trying to say?
That the little girl just “died” and wasn’t “killed” by Israelis. “Baby killed by Russians” “baby died because we didn’t get there fast enough”
Well, the second part is true, but they couldn’t get there fast enough because the Israelis killed the EMTs too.
That our media has a double standard, a bias for supporting Israel. Russia killed children in Ukraine, they say “killed”. Israel killed children in Palestine, but they won’t say that - instead, those children are just “dead”.
Very little difference in practice because the killing by IDF is implied or deducted anyway - but it’s a difference in rhetoric.
That six year old child was not “dead”, she was killed by Israel. Her relatives, whose corpses she spent her last days surrounded by, were killed by Israel.
I would say " found dead days after" sounds better then “killed by Israeli and found days after”.
It’s a common propaganda tactic to use slightly different terms for the same thing, depending on how the victims are viewed by a country and its media. Some people die, as if they were doomed anyway, or as if they were just statistics in a paper. Some others are killed, like actively by the hand of the enemy, which makes it tragic and sad.
It’s one of the differences between unworthy and worthy (of media coverage, or consideration by the public) victims.
I think your comparison is bullshit. Argument is not without merit but you chose a shit example that doesn’t make that argument
US corporate media lean in favor of Israel. As Abeer Al-Najjar (New Arab, 7/28/22) noted: “The framing, sourcing, selection of facts, and language choices used to report on Palestine…often reveal systematic biases which distort the Palestinian struggle.”
Maybe this will help.
3 of your examples are not American though, but British. The BBC and The Guardian certainly aren’t skimping on reporting facts about genocide in Gaza. This, and the fact that the context of the Gazan story is quite different, is why your argument has merit but this specific comparison isn’t particularly fitting.
You’re right. The meme could be better. I didn’t make it. I found it.
If only more media outlets were owned by Ukrainians.
