In general, popular (as in: 'not quality') newspapers do not put this on their front page so most of their readers don't see this news but see local crime and sports instead. The UK tabloids are the most egregious in this.

It is clear however that the news is reported differently based on the country, maybe even more than the affliations of the newspaper itself.

A focus on terrorist targets or IDF justifications or a focus on UN warnings of genocide, or just the suffering, paint a very different picture.

I will leave you guys to do a more thorough analysis or explanation.

  1. The Flemish/Walloon split is so clear here, very interesting. Unfortunate that vrt and co do not mention the horrific deaths and try their best to stay “neutral”. I applaud our southern outlets for having some guts in this deplorable situation. Looks like it’s time to send in another question to the vrt…

  2. Ze hebben me gebanned uit worldnews puur omdat ik zij dat dit is wat gjng gebeuren.
    Tsjah. Blijkbaar is zeggen dat dd enige manier dat die oorlog eindigt = gaza bestaat niet meer. Te extreem.

    Zie bij deze… gaza word platgebombardeerd

  3. Zeker schrijnend als je dit contrasteert met de berichtgeving over de agressie tegen Oekraïne. “9 doden bij nieuw bombardement op stadscentrum” is wat ze in Gaza een best wel goeie dag zouden noemen.

  6. En de hele wereld kijkt en doet niets. Ik vraag mij af wat Israël met hun Mossad allemaal wel niet weten.

  8. Flemish: Mostly quoting different parties without much reporting on what is actually going on.

    Walloon: Not much content is shown, but a bit of everything.

    British: Main focus is the human cost. Interesting fact is that they don’t speak about ‘Gazans who died’, but about ‘Gazans who were killed by Israel’.

    Netherlands Here also a bit of everything. The newspaper that found it more interesting to mention the name of the Israeli offensive twice while not mentioning the amount of Palestinians who’ve died so far sticks out for me.

    French: Most mention the Palestinian suffering in the title or first paragraph and there seems more focus on the response of politicians. Also the only non-American newspaper that mentions Trump.

    German: A surprising pro-Israeli bias, with no mention of Gazan suffering at all and even putting straight up Israeli officials’ lies at the top of an article.

    American: Unsurprisingly this has to be tied in to the end of Trump’s visit to the Middle-East everywhere, because America is the sun that everything and everyone orbits. Not sure what FOX NEWS is doing in this list. We might as well add a De Ideale Wereld-sketch to the Flemish collection if we’re including satire.

  11. instead of leaving us guys to do something you can just leave us
