AI Summary:
Israeli television stations have paid little attention to suffering in Gaza. In recent months, some Israeli stations have begun to share graphic images of malnourished children. This subtle shift comes as Israel faces unprecedented global outrage over the ongoing war. Israel has barred international journalists from Gaza since the start of the war. The U.S.-based Committee to Protect Journalists says it’s the deadliest conflict for reporters the group has documented. Some newscasters who have highlighted the humanitarian catastrophe have faced backlash. Israel disputes the figures but has not provided its own. Israeli military has said none of the journalists, including Mariam Dagga, were suspected militants. Israel has given more airtime to the starvation crisis fueled in part by Israel’s 2 1/2 month ban on all humanitarian aid. Nir Hasson and his colleagues have reported extensively on the Palestinians before and during the war. But it’s an outlier in the current media landscape.

At this point I just wonder what their angle is.

I don't credit the possibility that they're sincere. They didn't just spontaneously grow empathy and principles and integrity and ethics, and if they'd possessed any of those qualities in the past, they would've been reporting the truth then.

So there's something else going on here.

Cynically, I expect that factions in the government are moving against a few key players specifically - most notably Netanyahu - and that the goal is to make a big show of removing them, then stop reporting on the suffering and go back to all propaganda all the time in order to hopefully head off the growing threat of internal opposition by throwing a few of the grosser right-wingers under the bus, but to not fundamentally change anything about the situation or in any way even slow down the genocide.
