Israeli public is not seeing real horror of the war in Gaza 

The harrowing images of the impact of Israel’s war on Gaza seen around the world are rarely broadcast on mainstream TV news channels in Israel, leading some to say it creates a further dehumanisation of the Palestinian people

As the world’s media continues to report on the harrowing images of emaciated children and a risk of imminent famine facing more than one million Palestinians in Gaza, mainstream television news channels in Israel largely decline to show the full reality of the human misery.

The killing of the seven food charity workers from World Central Kitchen by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) did make television headlines, but only fleetingly so.
