If you don’t think there’s a clear bias towards Israel reporting you really haven’t been paying much attention, that’s not just my opinion:
Centre for Media Monitoring:
If people actually knew what elements of the Israeli state had been doing in Palestine (in the occupied territories and Israel / Lebanon / Jordan) then Israel would be more sanctioned than SA ever was.

Maybe its just wishful thinking, but there are things that Iran could do that would not involve a military attack on Israel at all - like an un-announced nuclear test for example.

Iran and Israel are both poking each other too much. Escalation looks inevitable at the moment unfortunately.

What do you think those 2 screenshots in isolation 'seriously' prove?
Different authors have different views, writing an yes - biases.
It would be like sharing screenshots from GOT from 2 different members on one subject, editing out the author - over 8 months apart to allege GOT as a platform is biased on that subject.
Sharing them both in isolation proves nothing.
From a quick check - one is from a live blog from 5 writers in November;
IDF says it has entered Gaza’s largest hospital – as it happened
IDF forces say they are targeting Hamas ‘in a certain part of the Shifa hospital’ after Gaza’s health ministry said it was warned by Israel that it would raid the facility ‘within minutes’
... One is from Pjotr Sauer in July;
‘No words for this’: horror over Russian bombing of Kyiv children’s hospital
Witnesses express shock and revulsion after deadly missile strike on Ukraine’s largest paediatric clinic

Saying the quiet part out loud again….
There is a major difference in the way these things are reported in general and in various statements from prominent voices such as Lammy and Starmer. It’s as clear as day.?

Irish citizens urged not to travel to Israel and Lebanon
Irish citizens have been urged to avoid travelling to Israel and to leave Lebanon, due to deepening tensions in the region.
Ireland has been prominent in the UNIFIL since 1978 and so I would expect that the Government is getting first hand intelligence before issuing this warning.
God help the innocents who may suffer yet again.
I think yesterdays decision by Iran not to entertain any diplomatic efforts to tone down its response have set the scene for what is about to unfold.Irish citizens urged not to travel to Israel and Lebanon

TBF that isn't what the Iranian spokespeople said - they said they didn't want escalation, but that they had to give an effective response to an Israeli attack in Tehran against a guest.
After the consulate bombing a huge diplomatic effort was put in by the US, the EU, the UN most of the regional states and others to try and prevent further escalation. The Iranian government listened, the Israeli government didn't - just as its not listened to anyone that it doesnt agree with since long before October 7th.
