I guees we have far different views on what is left and right , I find all the mainstream media that I have access to in Canada, the US and the UK ( i know there's Tory newspapers in the Uk) are left of centre, not far left but diffently on the left.
This time around if you look at the protests in the streets and on the university campuses, other than people with Palestinian heritage it is left wing political groups and individuals protesting. In the pro Israel counter protests other than the Jews, you see right leaning individuals and groups. Righly or not, in the West this conflict is being seen in terms of left v right as well as a conflict between Israel and the Arab world.
Yes every American administration has been pro Isarel and remain Israel's biggest friend, and the US , British and Canadian media used to be, but they have changed over the last decade. The BBC and the CBC ( Canada) has forbidden their reporters and on air personnel from calling HAMAS terrorists. In Canada there are more interviews on TV with Palestinians than Israelis. The reporters with the big three networks in the US constantly challenge the Israeli spokesman , but take everything the Palastinian spokespersons say as Gospel.
yeah Rucksackfranzose, the political terms, conservative, socialist , left and right have different meanings in Europe and North American. To me all European conservatives are too left for my thinking.
