If we are comparing the BBC's coverage to that of the networks in the US then I expect the BBC will come out looking good - but they are a very long way from being impartial in this matter.
sure you aren't going to get impartiality from just one source I agree.
RT love sticking things up the nose of the US every chance they get and the Russians have their own problems with Islamic militants so on this particular issue RT (to me atleast) seem to be covering the issues with more depth and balance. I'm not sure who watches RT though except for Bitcoiners lol.
Why is this so ? Why not, for e.g., Israel vs Palestine ?
the news media is only covering the issue Isreal Vs Hamas because the current conflict is really only Isreal vs Hamas. The west bank is largely not involved in any of the violence apart from a few stones being thrown and the Palestinians in Jordan and Isreal are also not involved for the most part.
but yes the real issue is Israels brutal 50 year occupation of Palestine. so the Chapter is Isreal v Hamas.. but the book is called Isreal / Palestine.
and I do take the point you appear to be alluding to that the narrative is being framed as Isreal vs Terrorism.
