In reply to krikoman:
> I don't like to sound like a tinfoil hatist, but It's noticeable we're getting pictures of the bombing in Syria now that Russia are killing people, when the American dropped a bomb(s) on and MSF hospital in Nov. last year hardly a mention.
Yep, tin hat is still there
Not only was it mentioned, but the point was laboured, a full public apology made by the US, investigations launched into how it happened, and discussion over the fact that MSF would rather an "independent" investigated the decision to fire rather than the US military (who understandably don't think showing an independent what their rules of engagement and targeting strategies are) These are just the stories on the BBC

There are plenty more but I'm bored now
> I've noticed (because I take an interested in) that Israeli deaths often get e mention on the news yet Palestinians don't.
Can't agree with you more. I also believe that undue influence is used by Israel in both the UK and the US political system (and maybe more countries I'm not familiar with) as to their foreign policy to the detriment of Palestinians
> A march that attracted 100,000 - 200,000 people in the centre of London never made the ITV of BBC news channels.
That's probably because its boring now. I don't think I've been to London on a weekend in years (I go quite often maybe 20 times a year) to not find it covered in mess from the morning's march, or come across the actual march - there are just too many. Back in the old days of mass marches and police confrontations these were rare occurrences and usually on a subject of much more widespread support, where as now there seems to be as many causes as protesters.
