To just comment on a substantive issue at hand, the news slant regarding Hamas in the USA is substantially different from the UK news. Biden is unequivocally in support of Israel not because they do no wrong but because of the terror tactics of Hamas and our hopes for Democracy. He also warns of hate and rage going too far. This position opposes some of the liberal fringe of his own party. In this country that is known as a sister Solja moment. That refers to Bill Clinton separating himself from a radical statement from Ms.Solja. The difference in 'news feeds' between countries is propaganda that may invisibly steer attitudes. You may think you are thinking for yourself but you could be on a leash you do not see. As always I see some excited fans of war going down dark alleys. I wonder if they know any part of war close-up. Have they ever; been in active duty, been shot at, faced a pointed gun or suffered as a direct result of war. If they have, I do not think they would be such excited fans. Perhaps they only know second hand from family stories.
