> Now in the span of just a few days Israel has killed over 7k more Palestinians. This isn't "retribution". This is an ongoing genocide.

It is impossible to look at this blackout, especially knowing Israel's history of covering up and reading their war crimes since before the foundation of the state (see: the Katz controversy and the massacre of Tantura), and not think that its purpose is to minimize the images and information coming out of Gaza so that Israel can conduct its genocide in the dark.

The voices of Palestinians do not count, especially when they are only telling eyewitness accounts (see, again, the Katz controversy). When it comes to Israeli war crimes, only documentary evidence presented by (and ideally curated from) Israeli voices seems to reliably count.

Whatever happens in the next few days, surviving Gazans will doubtless remember. But to the rest of the world, and to history, much of it will be 'lost'.
