It's very important to remember that your views of the Israel/Hamas conflict and chain of events are distorted.
Not very comforting perhaps but nonetheless true.
Here's why. First, you are hearing news reports that historically and increasingly in recent times are focused on the most adrenaline soaked aspects.
It's meant to get and keep your attention.
Since these graphic images and reports are repeated over and over in light of the fact that they have little NEW to say (even in a fast developing story there is a significant lag between the event and its story). You don't hear, at the same time, any kind of rebalancing acts of compassion, kindness, and calm.
Admittedly, in a war zone, those are harder to find but still... you can be certain people are helping others by driving them, taking them in, feeding them, caring for them but those acts don’t make the news.
