All western news is doing some strong work completely ignoring coverage of this narrative. Absolute fucking disgrace and travesty.

You're commenting on a newsweek article, a western news media with a readership of 100 million.
There are not 100 million dentists offices. No way that is their readership.
They're referring to monthly unique visitors on the Newsweek website. Print circulation was around 100k in 2015. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsweek)
For comparison (I make no claims it's a good one), the New York Times web site has around 240 million monthly unique visitors. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times)
Does that include all the visitors blocked by their paywall?
Edit: I'm referring to NYT.
I only know what I gleaned from quick glance at their Wikipedia page, which says they have 8.6 million digital subscribers. So the 240 million figure includes non-subscribers who can run into paywalls, but I'm guessing the NYT might have some content that isn't paywalled, which complicates getting a sense of their 'reach'. Which is why I said I make no claims that it's a good comparison.
and how many of those are bots?
Everything I'm reading is covering the Israeli war crimes and their condemnation from western countries. And it's mostly reporting from the west.
Maybe don't read for-profit journalism?

Oh, you mean the slap-on-the-wrist heckling some liberals in the west are emanating? The Israelis must be shaking in their boots.
It's not a condemnation at all. Look at the wording, it's phrased like whatever happens to the Palestinians is a natural disaster. A flooding or an earthquake.
you can't genocide if you got genocided, that's the rule, if you disagree you're an antisemite, now please send rockets to children hospital thank you

Yes but have you considered that Arabs aren't white?
Depends on which arbitrary definition of "white" you are using. I see a lot of white supremacists pretending that Israel can't be white supremacist because either Jewish people "aren't white" and/or Arab people suddenly "are white" - whatever their pretzel-logic demands in the moment, I guess.
What? Semites aren't white like Semites?
Honourary white
"White" is more of an arbitrary label for "guys like us". Italians and Irish were not considered white not so long ago.
