What is the underlying motive?? I have no idea, probably historical, the same reason why the United States is more biased towards the Israeli's.

i have no idea how the conflict is perceived on the continent but here in Britain,i've always felt the media's pro-Isreali, altho' maybe not to the extent it is in the US.. However, the public support is leaning towards the Palestinians...but even then, i don't think it can be classed as 'pro-palestinian'.. TBH most peeps don't give a damn.
