Cutting context does allow one to make easy value judgements and frame them to support their preexisting position, that’s true.
It’s a different level, yet part of the same story. And the only way this is actually a different level is by only looking at Israeli casualties (another way restricting context can twist one’s understanding). Palestinians have been killed by Israeli military at a much higher rate for decades.
18 Palestinian journalists have been killed since 2001, all wearing identifying press gear. Russia did this as well in Ukraine and got lambasted for it yet I rarely hear about how Israel killed journalists like Shireen Abu Akleh. Because people love to cut context like this out of their worldview.
Yes but then you get to honor of deciding who is right and who is wrong as well. No one has to right to tell someone which is the case.
Also this is a different level than what has been happening for at least a decade.
