You object to people getting news from multiple mainstream sources?
I can guarantee I have posted more stories and news from these websites over time in this forum than anyone else.
You're missing the point.
'Unbiased' (or balanced) is the issue.
Every country, politics, religion, news media, even ourselves, are biased.
True --- every single outlet is biased. You need to understand the bias of each outlet when reviewing the news. Balance is provided by looking at outlets on both sides of the issue or political spectrum. That is what I attempt to do when reviewing the news and deciding where I stand on an issue. There is also a need to parse out the hard facts when reviewing news versus the injected opinion.
In 1948, Israeli soldiers actually did this. So either Murdoch et.al. are being kunts or Hamas did a repeat. IDF also reported a pregnant woman being cut open, something the Palestenians also underwent under Lebanese forces while the IDF occupied the region:

Janet Lee Stevens, an American journalist, later wrote to her husband, Dr. Franklin Lamb, "I saw dead women in their houses with their skirts up to their waists and their legs spread apart; dozens of young men shot after being lined up against an alley wall; children with their throats slit, a pregnant woman with her stomach chopped open, her eyes still wide open, her blackened face silently screaming in horror; countless babies and toddlers who had been stabbed or ripped apart and who had been thrown into garbage piles."[72]

The more I dig into religious history the more I realise how religion is a guise for selfishness, nothing but a pretence.
Israel Has No Right to Self-Defense as ‘Occupier,’ Russia Says

Israel has no right to self-defense against Hamas militants in Gaza as an occupying power in Palestine, Russia’s ambassador to the United Nations said Wednesday.
Vasily Nebenzya used his speech at the special UN General Assembly session on Palestine to condemn Western “hypocrisy” over Palestinian civilian deaths amid their criticism of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“The only thing [the West] can muster is continued pronouncements about Israel’s supposed right to self-defense. Although, as an occupying power, it does not have that power,” Nebenzyasaid.
He cited a 2004advisory opinion by the Hague-based International Court of Justice (ICJ), which states that Israel cannot invoke the UN Charter’s article on the right to self-defense when acting against threats from occupied territory.
Israel argues that it has not occupied Gaza since 2005, when it withdrew military and civilians from the region. However, a number of international organizations say that Israel has occupied Palestinian territories, including the Gaza Strip, since 1967.
In a thinly veiled reference to his country’s 21-month invasion of Ukraine, Nebenzya said: “In other situations, [Western nations] call for the respect of humanitarian law, set up inquiry commissions and impose sanctions on those who use force as a last resort to stop years of violence.”
Nebenzya said Israel’s right to ensure its security “can be fully guaranteed only in the case of a just solution to the Palestinian problem on the basis of the well-known UN Security Council resolutions.”
“We don’t deny Israel’s right to fight terror, but fight terrorists and not civilians.”
Nebenzya slammed Washington and its allies for “remaining silent” as the civilian death toll from Israel’s bombardment in Gaza continued to grow.
Russia has called on Israel and Hamas authorities in Gaza to reach a cease-fire agreement and allow mediators to work on a diplomatic solution to the decades-long conflict.
Moscow maintains ties with both Israel and Hamas, which sent a delegation to Russia last week.

US President Joe Biden has said he thinks there should be a humanitarian “pause” in the Israel-Hamas war in order to get “prisoners” out.
Mr Biden was speaking at a fundraiser for his 2024 re-election campaign when a protester interrupted him, calling for a ceasefire.
“I think we need a pause,” Mr Biden said in response. “A pause means give time to get the prisoners out.”
It comes as Israeli airstrikes hit apartment buildings in a Gaza refugee camp for the second day in a row, Palestinian officials said.

Al-Jazeera television, one of the few media outlets still reporting from northern Gaza, aired footage of devastation in the Jabaliya camp near Gaza City and of several wounded people, including children, being taken to a nearby hospital.
The Hamas-run government said the strikes killed and wounded many people but the exact toll is not yet known.
Al-Jazeera footage showed nearly identical scenes as the day before, with dozens of men digging through the grey rubble of demolished multistorey buildings in search of survivors.
The toll from Tuesday’s strikes was also unknown, though the director of a nearby hospital said hundreds were killed or wounded.
