Wonder how many American "pro-lifers" are ok with this genocide
Every. Single. One. Those kids are kids, not fetuses; alive, with hopes and dreams. In other words, completely fucking useless to the "pro life" people.
Philosophy Tube has a great video about this topic https://youtu.be/rLfzO7Sbdc4. At 27:20 she starts talking about who's life is worth grieving and who's is not, and how this is a government level topic. It hits the nail on the head about the differences in reporting two different people's deaths can have. At 33:45 they specifically talk about the 2008 Gaza war.
💯 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.
People getting killed in a warzone is different than political murders.
It’s not about who, it’s about context.
News reporting is also about new and unexpected events.
Consider this: People being killed in Sudan or Myanmar gets no attention compared to Gaza.
lol. Describes Gaza as "people getting killed in a warzone", then has the lack of self-awareness to preach about context.
You sound like an Israeli shill, mate. Dumbing down the language and trying to change the focus to another atrocity.
Gaza isn't "people getting killed in a warzone", it's civilians and children getting bombed in their beds/hospitals/schools/refugee camps and currently being starved to death in the dark by an oppressive fascist regime.
