You were trying to argue that your ancestor was employing a false equivalence, that the disinformation campaign on both sides were in fact not equally bad. I agree that there is a false equivalence, however I disagree with you that it is Hamas which is extraordinarily bad while Israel is relatively not as bad. The actions Israel employs against free press during this genocide are telling, and have consequences. There may be free press within Israel, however that free press does not have access to Gaza because the Israeli military does not grant them access. The targeting of journalists the Israeli military is guilty of also has consequences for the supposedly free Israeli press. If you are working in Gaza and you are afraid Hamas member will push you off rooftops if you publish a critical piece, well... if you are an Israeli journalist, you should indeed be very afraid if you are going to cover a story about Israel’s crime in Gaza. More then a few journalists have indeed be targeted and killed by the Israeli military for trying to do that, including international journalists. What you should take from this is that it is the Israeli military that has the greater potential to lie about their crimes here, and there is no free press in this world (especially not in Israel) which can safely cover those lies.
