What about Israeli atrocities?
They have to go about this route ~~to reach the kids~~ so kids won't see stuff, but nevertheless hear about them to have an opinion:
Israeli Government: 'Genocidal rage face under the reasonable face mask' We have a right to defend ourselves by bombing civilians because of x reasons
↓
U.S. President: Our allies have a right to defend themselves against terrorist attacks
↓
Mainstream media: Holocaust survivors facing the same horrors at the hands of Palestinian terrorists must take every measure to defend themselves
↓
Parents watching mainstream media only: Look how these barbarian Arabs without blue eyes and blonde hair are causing never before seen atrocities

What about footage from every war in the last decade or so?..
They (those who wrote the article and those making such warnings) are just trying to stay in trend.
My tiktok feed is incredibly unkind to Israel with the footage of children either dead or weeping at the hospital beds of their parents. That is why this is happening. That is why they shut off the Internet and electricity in Gaza and that is why they want you to shut off your Internet as well. If you see what is happening in Gaza there's a real possibility that global public opinion turns incredibly hard on the Israeli government.
I've seen about 5 reporters break down crying on tiktok. I watched a doctor treating a patient learn about his children dying in an airstrike. This isn't even graphic content. It is the raw human emotion and fear. Palestinians are putting out their goodbyes on social media and it's heartbreaking.
The Israeli government is a far right fascist government and it knows it can't survive without Western support. This time it's already well out what they're doing. Even their defense of saying they have to fight against Hamas is ringing hollow. You can't decry the death of Israeli civilians and then the world watches you bomb ambulances on Facebook.
