Look at the devastation Israel has inflicted on Gaza - it's a complete wasteland, as if several nuclear weapons had been dropped on it and its population.

It is important to understand that if this were a "normal" conflict, not only would the footage have been aired much sooner, but the journalists would also have had the courage to call it what it is. And very early in the conflict, opinion and pressure against the genocide would have been felt by politicians in the West.

But Israel's censorship of the truth has worked, not only by preventing journalists from coming in, but also by intimidating international media from calling it what it is.

Those walls of fear appear to be coming down now. In a "normal" conflict, they would never have existed in the first place.
