Why anybody trusts news sites I don’t understand the bias is horrible. Any news sites you can find the worst types of bias.
There's no 'global opposition' to Israel's genocidal shit, because 'global opposition' just means the imperialist dogs
who'se the character in the bottom panel; i keep seeing him over and over again, but have no idea who he is or what he represents.
He's from the game Team Fortress 2. He doesn't represent anything in particular, he's just a funny beloved character :)
You can search for "meet the heavy" on YouTube to see the official character concept video.

Team fortress 2 heavy. He's Russian/Soviet in the game.
Technically his family was counter-revolutionary. The timeline makes it seem like his father was a Nazi collaborator that got shot by the Red Army.
I am probably steeping on a land mine here. But, could the difference sentence be because they are scared of Israel’s wrath? They tend to be quite aggressive when someone asks questions.
The tail does not wag the dog. Saying that Israel controls the US has it the other way around. Israel serves US interests and the US chooses to enable it.
I think framing it as "american media is afraid of Israel's wrath" is getting things a bit backwards.
Yes, the whole US media ecosystem runs cover for Israel. However it's not because Israel has any real power over western media, it's because the US government supports Israel.
Israel only has power because they're a proxy of the US.
Yup. Israel is settler-colonial outpost of the US military empire in the ME. Israel is the Vassal, the USA is the mothership. Of course American institutions will be protecting the ethnostate of Israel.
