I said it elsewhere, but I'll rephrase: The fundamental problem is not about the misattribution of fault to the wrong "side." The problem is that this is how a lot of people are thinking about things, and that every single event becomes attached to this framework and used to justify or further entrench events. And there are powerful actors who profit directly from this continued perspective. Hamas, obviously, but Netanyahu as well. Any attempt to produce an objective or neutral narrative is undermined by them, deliberately. It's not surprising that media gets caught up in this game. My observation was that responsible news organizations in general attempted to report the tragedy first, and attribute cause as probably conjectures after. At least the ones (Guardian, mostly) I was looking at. I'm sure they faulted the IDF, but that wasn't the emphasis. I have screenshots of the initial event, and the IDF as cause is not mentioned. But the tragedy as they first saw it, was. Reality is always more complex than two battling "teams" or "sides" and this mentality to reduce it this way betrays a barbaric emotional immaturity that is preventing the cessation of hostilities. It doesn't matter to the dead people whose rocket it was. They're dead, and the conflict persists so more will die.
