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

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.

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.
