💯 the default assumption of the media is that these Israelis are relatable humans and this is a tragedy… But what is happening in Gaza is somehow morally ambiguous.

Maybe one could argue the sheer scale of the Gaza genocide makes it difficult for the media to humanize them, so they get reduced to just a number of fatalities with lots of digits. But if the media default was that the Palestinian lives had value they would look through the lives lost like those in 9-11 and tell their stories.

💯 and calling it a “message” is being exceptionally generous. I think “nearly incoherent rant” would be more accurate.
