Seeing is believing; no butchered Palestinians on Israeli TV

Media executives, journalists, media experts, and even regular Israelis report hardly any footage of Palestinians killed by "Israel" on Israeli television.

According to the Wall Street Journal, when Israelis tune into their local TV channels every evening, they get the latest updates on the war on Gaza regarding captive negotiations, Israeli fatalities, and repeated coverage of the October 7 operation by the Palestinian resistance.

One thing Israeli media rarely, if ever, showcases, is the devastating condition of the people in Gaza following repeated Israeli aggression and massacres. 

On day 220 of the Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation committed in 24 hours only 7 massacres against families in Gaza, killing 57 and injuring 82 transferred to hospitals.

Moreover, since October 7, the Israeli genocide has claimed the lives of 35,091 Palestinians and resulted in 78,827 injuries, noting that thousands of casualties remain trapped under rubble and on roads where ambulance and civil defense teams either cannot or are prohibited from reaching them.

While the rest of the globe may see this footage, "Israel" is broadcasting a completely different image of the war, lacking pictures of the wreckage wrought by Israeli bombings in the densely populated territory and terrible images of Palestinians slain in the onslaught.

Media executives, journalists, media experts, and even regular Israelis report hardly any footage of Palestinians butchered on Israeli television, with just a few shots of destruction. Many Israelis, who normally consume news in Hebrew, also claim they seldom come across explicit footage of Gaza on their cellphones, while they are aware there has been significant devastation and a large death toll. 

According to an April study conducted by the "Israel Democracy Institute," a nonpartisan research institution, over two-thirds of Israelis saw little or no photos of the devastation. Just over one-third indicated they had seen a lot, either through Israeli media or social media.

'Israel' will confront Turkey militarily if necessary: Israeli media

Shuki Tausig, editor of the Seventh Eye, an Israeli journal that covers the occupation's media, stated that everything is seen "except for the people of Gaza."

“Right now, Israeli media can’t cope with a complex reality. They know that their viewers don’t really want to see images of their enemy dying, so they just don’t show it.”

Spokespeople for "Israel's" top television channels (Kan 11, 12, 13, and 14) declined to comment or did not reply to a request. Channel 12 provided The Wall Street Journal with many instances of recent newscasts featuring footage of bombed-out houses and rubble in Gaza, as well as individuals discussing their hardship, including a scarcity of food. Yet, there were no photographs of butchered Palestinians.

Injured IOF soldiers: Underreported realities exposed by Israeli media

As the Israeli occupation underplays the grim reality of what the war looks like in Gaza, it does the opposite when it comes to the massively underreported numbers of injuries and deaths by the Israeli army in confrontations with the Palestinian Resistance. 

In this context, the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth revealed earlier that the actual number of wounded soldiers in Gaza is much higher than the numbers the army is admitting under the "permitted to publish" clause, as reported by hospitals.

The military correspondent of Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, Yossi Yehoshua, stated that there is a "long and painful list" that includes soldiers with serious injuries, alongside a larger number of soldiers who sustained moderate and light injuries.

Yehoshua pointed out that the "harsh scenes" in rehabilitation centers tell a story unknown to Israelis, as the soldiers entering the battle are arriving at hospitals with severe limb injuries, head injuries, and injuries resulting in loss of vision.

He stressed the importance of urging the public to request comprehensive information to evaluate the extent of the significant damage.

In this context, the Israeli journalist confirmed that the Israeli occupation's Security Ministry, as well as the rehabilitation and injuries sections in the army, are not prepared to deal with the repercussions that may result from a war of this magnitude.
