What is interesting is that there are posters who are very quick to declare some of the worst details of 7 October as untrue. Obviously I don't personally know what did or didn't really happen, but there is relatively credible eyewitness evidence.
The same posters would find any questioning of incidents coming out of Gaza deeply offensive though, even though the two main sources are the Hamas-run Health Ministry and Instagram.
What I have noticed is that the Israelis are far more squeamish about realeasing the worst of the footage and images. When the attack initially happened, it was the terrorists realeasing much of the imagery so they had no control over what went out. Now they are doing it via invited press screenings, or images that have at least to some degree been consored and permission from families sought.
The images out of Gaza tend to be immediate and uncensored.
I think this has maybe given a skewed perception, beyond the obvious differences in number of deaths, of the levels of suffering.
Or maybe people will simply seek out and believe whatever chimes with their existing views, and seek to deny, dismiss and minimise that which doesn't.
That is the reason I got involved in these discussions in the first instance. I was confronted with some raw imagary on twitter that was shocking in its brutality, and the whitewashing and lies that followed that were almost instant, including on here.
