Emotions in Western media coverage

For decades, Arabs complained that Western media coverage of Israeli savagery against Arabs lack any emotional tones.  We complain that they cover Israeli massacres with a bit of cold heartedness.  Yet, Western media often complained about Arab emotional treatment of Palestinian suffering.  The complain that we are too focused on the human dimensions while they are too busy with geo-political considerations.  Yet, in the coverage of Syria--I thought about this as I was listening to the BBC News--we discovered to our surprise that the White Man has emotions and can shed a tear or two, when prompted by US or British or French governments.  Western media coverage of Syria is full of emotion and the BBC always feature Syrians (preferably in Doha, Qatar) who basically call for help and even call for arms on occasions.  Can you image such treatment to the suffering of the Palestinians?  And if Bashsar Al-Asad goes to Israel tomorrow (and I won't excluse the possibility given the lousy Asad regime and its obsession with self-preservation), Western governments AND media would transform the conflict in Syria into a classic Western style "war on terrorism".  Is that not what they accorded to Saudi repression?
