In a news media environment that doesn’t want us to know/remember that a genocide is even happening in the first place, archives like this will preserve the record for future generations and ensure that the victims of this slaughter are not erased from history.
The issue is the families of the people massacred by Hamas don’t want their dead family members being published everywhere. Imagine seeing the dismembered corpse of a loved one plastered all over the internet. So those images don’t get broadcast very much.
Hamas and Iran don’t have any sense of respect for people that have been killed and don’t care about the impact on family members having photos of their corpses used for propaganda. Also it’s usually Hamas that chooses where military engagements will happen so are always ready to record everything.
Psychopaths always have an advantage when creating propaganda. They’re willing to lie and don’t care about people, not even their own people.
So in your mind hamas is the ones using the israeli airforce to drop flyers stating that the area is about to be hit by Israel’s artillery, MOABs or White phosphorus?
And the civilians filming with their phones are to blame for the documentation of what happens when their homes are bombed out or when the IDF come through and evict them from their homes under threat of death or worse, being sent to Sde Teiman or in the case of their kids, to the Ofer military detention center for children.
IMAGINE SEEING IT FIRSTHAND AND SEEING THE MASS MEDIA OF THE WORLD SAY IT’S JUSTIFIED
If the goal was to kill as many Palestinians as possible, why would they drop flyers?
No war is justified, that’s a very 19th century way of thinking. This is the thinking that leads to atrocities like October 7, which was a genocidal act which you want to pretend was “justified”.
A war can be necessary (not justified) in response to a genocidal act to prevent such actions from occurring again. When terrorists take hostages into a city, a ground war in an urban environment becomes necessary. This kind of war will lead to massive civilian casualties. Hamas knew this when they took hostages into Gaza. But an opportunity to create propaganda is more important to Hamas psychopaths than the lives of Palestinians. The success they’ve had with this propaganda means that in the future they will seek out more opportunities to create scenarios where Palestinians will die.
The Iranian regime that uses Palestinians as cannon fodder to serve their interests will likely continue to do so. Doesn’t seem like a regime change will happen there unfortunately. You will continue to promote hatred and “justification” for future genocidal acts by Hamas. Because of these factors, there’s a significant probability there will be another Gaza war in around 20 to 30 years, with the same result as this one. But you’ll get more photos of dead children to make you feel some righteous hatred. I think that’s all you care about. You don’t really care about Palestinians enough to try to find a way to peace.
