Covering Syria/Covering Israeli war crimes

Just compare the coverage of Syrian regime crimes versus Israeli regime war crimes:
1) have you seen one report in US press citing Palestinian "activists"?
2) Has there been one charge made by Palestinian victims that does not get rebutted in US press by propagandists of Israel?
3) Did any of the American correspondents in the region skype with any Palestinian activists?
4) Did you see one report concede that Israeli massive bombing is far more devastating and far more indiscriminate (and wide) than brutal Syrian regime barrel bombs?
5) Did any Western correspondents talk about how if the Palestinians don't get arms radicalism will spread in the region?
6) Did you detect one American correspondent using the polemical and emotional language used about Syria?
7) Did any American correspondent bother to cite the racist and violent language used habitually by Israeli terrorist leaders?
8) Did any American correspondent bother to admit that among the Palestinians there are indeed no Jihadi Ben Ladenites?
9) Was the term "moderate rebels" used by any American correspondent?
10) Did you notice that none of the American correspondents cite the statements by Palestinian rebels as authoritative?

PS And Human Rights Watch has not called for an embargo on arms to Israel and has not called for referring Israel to ICC.
