I wonder how many civilians in Gaza Israel would have to murder in order to gain the same amount of press as they would receive for killing two famous white people.

I suspect there were never enough people there to solve this equation.

Sadly either the same or a few days longer than when idf took out the World Central Kitchen workers and trucks.

Although that achieved removing aid from Gaza so Israel probably treats it as a win, like they would attacking more aid ships.

I really think celebrity changes the nature of this. I suspect the media's urge to cover celebrity news is even greater than their urge not to talk about Israel's crimes.
