I was just coming here to post this video. It’s well worth watching. The best line so far:
You can’t claim moral superiority when asking for support, but then moral equivalence to excuse your crimes.

Well it makes sense. The photographer is Palestinian, and Israel clearly draws no distinction between Palestinians and Hamas. I am pleasantly surprised to see the New York Times stand up to the allegations and defend their photographer.

From the Guardian’s liveblog:
More than 25,000 women, children killed by Israel in Gaza - Pentagon chief
US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said earlier today that more than 25,000 women and children had been killed by Israel since October 7, adding that Israel can and should do more to protect civilians.
During a US congressional hearing (ostensibly about his health), Austin was asked how many Palestinian women and children had been killed by Israel, Reuters reports.
It is over 25,000,” he said.
Austin added that about 21,000 precision guided munitions had been provided to Israel since the start of its war in Gaza.
Meanwhile, beyond the Reuters report, this is an extraordinary figure not just in the tragedy of it but in the mathematics of it. Lt Col Peter Lerner, the spokesman of the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF), moments ago told CNN in a live interview with anchor Wolf Blitzer that Israel has killed “12,000 Hamas terrorists” in its war in Gaza since Hamas attacked southern Israel on October 7, 2023.
This morning, the Gaza health ministry said that the death toll in Gaza at the hands of Israel since then has surpassed 30,000 and the reality on the ground is probably higher.
