I really enjoy your writing. Other good Jewish news sources: Jewish insider.com. The Free Press. Fox News (yes, THAT Fox News) is reliably pro Israel and pro Jewish, and it has one of the best war reporters, Trey Yingst.
I agree with you, except I don't like Trey Yingst. I think he tries to be neutral in an environment where there is a good side and an evil side. He often parrots Hamas talking points, like casualty numbers, without reminding everyone that they come from Hamas, are complete fabrications, include terrorists, include those killed by Hamas, etc. The best reporting I heard from the middle east was Douglas Murray. He always has his head on straight, and is a wonderful, truth-speaking supporter of Israel and the Jews.
I canceled my subscription of the NYT during the second intifada when they highlighted the poor Palestinian mother who lost her suicide bomber son. CNN covered the same story. That's when I found Fox News. They were always pro Israel.
What is included within the rhetorical frame and what is pushed outside of it? I’m referring to the journalistic method employed by the legacy media in their reporting on Israel. It’s essential for all Jews to understand how this works to be able to see right through and resist relentless exposure to their distortions about the Israeli-Arab conflict. Read "Framing Israel" by Prof. Cherryl Smith and you’ll be equipped. https://jerryschwartz.substack.com/p/seeing-through-distorted-media-coverage?r=tb7x6
Thankfully there are a good many excellent Jewish and non Jewish writers ( Douglas Murray, Brian Lilley, Glenn Beck etc.) who have the clarity and moral spine to report the truth... in this suddenly felt exclusion and hatred from the MSM (though it's been there all along)
Like you I find myself in the same boat. Although I have many Jewish friends and am active in my shul my world lacks the Jewishness of the 1900's. Back then you knew who and what you were. Today it is more difficult but like then today we have to worry, am I next? When will they come for me? I WON'T WALK INTO A CONCENTRATION CAMP. Now how do I live here? This country I thought I was part of. Where do we go from here? And how? I don't want to leave here. But I am fearful to stay, not knowing who, what, why, when or where. How did this happen? This country so full of promise, so big, big enough for everybody and why us? We are citizens, aren't we? Oh yes I almost forgot we are different we are Jews. And they laugh at us for keeping a bag packed.
I recently read a translation of Michael Gold's book "Jews Without Money". I understand it's semi-autobiographical, and it offered an interesting insight into life in the tenements on the East Side in the early 20th century. Quite an eye-opener for me.
"Then, the American papers started running the opposite of the news I needed, turning starkly antisemitic long before Israel responded. How had I, a journalist, missed the story The New York Times, The Washington Post and NPR had been telling for years about Jews and Israel? I watched with horror as outlets I considered my home cherry-picked misrepresentations to fit their narrative of “Israel Bad” and “Jewish Death Not Newsworthy.”
Here in Europe it still comes as a shock to me to have discovered that attacks on Jews, including Rape against Jews and theft from Jews and attacks on Jewish families, are State-organised by MI5 and MI6, (the British Armed Intelligence Services here in the UK). All of this is now proven: Our Reports are with Josh at Future of Jewish, and The Jewish and Russian Defence Organisations. We now need all of these, including this Jewish news website, to defend ourselves in the new World where The Nazi Party has Re-formed in and by MI6 and the German Intelligence Service The BND: All this is monitored and verified.

Of course I like Douglas Murray too. He writes a column for the Free Press. I think of him as more of an advocate, as opposed to a pure journalist.
I totally agree with you about Trey Yingst. Yours is the same impression I get.
Hannity is a zionist.
Mark Levin, Brian Kilmeade on FOX.
The cast of The Five. 👏☺️
Even goyim who love Eretz Israel, like me, need to read Jewish news sources. Real news.
Absolutely.

Beautifully written well expressed article, Hana. Kol Hakavod

You were reading the wrong press. There are plenty of pro-Israel publications, mostly conservative.
