People around the world rally to support Gaza as continued Israeli bombing has killed nearly 8,000 Palestinians.
Hamas’s attack on Israel has changed the Middle East
The US regional strategy lays in shambles, as its allies face pressure and its foes seek to take advantage.

I see this in the US. CNN, Fox, and most major media outlets are all-Israel-all-the -time.

The Internet in general has helped bring the plight of the Palestinians to the US voters but our politicians are still all-Israel-all-the -time.
