imagineallthepeople, my take is how visible this is to everyone. Unless someone has vilified their enemy so deeply that they can't even relate to them on a human level, everyone is going to have a visceral reaction to the sight of a dead child. I can only see this from an American perspective, but it's the main reason why the media was practically silenced during the Iraq war. A lesson the American military learned during the Vietnam war. Limit media coverage. Having said that, I feel it's a awful strategy because it makes the public blind to how dehumanizing war is, never learning the consequences, making it all the more easy to support war in the future.
Random question, are they televising whats happening in Gaza on Israeli media? Is there a left-wing media that's opposed to this? I've read that there's somewhere around 90% support from the Israeli public. I have a hard time believing that number would be so large if people were seeing the death.
