    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.
