The reason your feed has fewer reports on the ongoing mass slaughter in Gaza is because Israel has killed the reporters.

Israel isn’t worth salvaging as a state. It’s a criminal abomination, and most of its people seem to have sunk into utter depravity.
Having a US Congress that is totally captured by that state is dragging down the moral level of the US so far that it threatens our survival. /1

The western world has created a monster out of Israel. To pay its own Holocaust debt it has allowed Israel to live by special rules, to live with a special waiver from international law. Predictable result: a social psychology of deep, sick and genocidal racism.
