Why didnt you include the context of their posts? I'm not pro-israel, but they're deliberately illustrating the number of rockets that have been fired at them over whatever amount of time.

And going after cities of people who most certainly had nothing to do with that is the most logical outcome then. Yeah

So... you purposefully ignored and didnt post the meaning of the tweet because you dont like the politics. Literal anti Semitic. Nice.

Yea its outrageous how he ignored context, look how he got the last poster riled up off a false premise. Legit ticks me off.

Know what's really tone deaf? Hamas bombing civilians in Israel and prompting this recent round of retaliations. And it's interesting there are no topics about Hamas's attacks on Israeli civilians, including bombing a synagogue which, unlike the targets in Palestine, didn't have embedded Hamas operations around the location.

You're not getting straight to what caused this particular confrontation. We should be talking about Sheikh Jarrah.

Yes, Hamas is disgusting. Let it be noted that Israel funded them in their initial years Israel also continues to displace millions. I don't support the actions of Hamas, but realize their actions as an inevitability based upon historical persecution.

I totally get what you're getting at, but you can't just look at Palestinian actions in a vacuum. You mention the bombing of synagogues, but Israel has bombed the hell out of schools, hospitals, mosques...you name it. AP and AJ are having a hard time figuring out why their offices were bombed.

Why are people arguing about the context? I think the context is that Israel is firing rockets back at Hamas after Hamas fired rockets, and they're tweeting about it. Tweeting a bunch of emojis of rockets is quite tone-deaf. I don't understand why people are talking about context.

Because Judgmenl is implying they were taking lightly the killings by deliberately leaving out the context of the post. The multiple rocket posts by whoever is posting it is giving a visual demonstration of the amount of rockets that have been fired at Israel. It's supposed to be making a point about justifying their retaliation (or what they claim is retaliation). Turns out thats a thing that like...everyone does to illustrate scale.

Whatever you make think it is, it's what they said it was. It's not supposed to be a joke or taunt or whatever you want it to be. You might disagree with their stance or believe they're in the wrong. That's fine, but you don't need to pretend thats not a misrepresentation of what they were doing.

"Just to give you all some perspective, these are the total amount of rockets shot at Israeli civilians. Each one of these rockets is meant to kill.

#IsraelUnderAttack"

Nobody decided to quote "the context" to clarify things for me - this is the context as shared by the same Twitter account. However, this is NOT the FULL context of the situation at hand. If they also did a visual showing the comparison of how many rockets Israel has shot too. A comparison of injuries on both sides. A comparison of deaths on both sides. Posting rockets on Twitter to represent how many rockets have been fired by Hamas does not offer a full contextual picture of the conflict.

I am not trying to 'paint' Israel as anything, I am indicating that the context is very up for debate, because it is not exceptionally informative. It is informative within a narrow scope, and in a somewhat silly way. Give us the number in one tweet. Make the number bigger. It's quite 'fluff' in terms of providing real context. It is narrow context, sure.

Yeah, I don't think it's a joke or a taunt. I can tell that all the Israeli leaders are very sincere in how they feel, and I'm sure whoever thought up the idea of tweeting how many rockets were sent at Israel thought it was a great idea. I still think that it's lazy and emotional - present the full context if you don't want it to just seem like propaganda. Show the numbers on both sides. If people seriously think tweeting rocket emojis to 'represent' how many there have been is good factual reporting, then lololol. It's definitely presenting....some accurate information in an unprofessional way while ignoring lots of other information.

Also, Tel Aviv is a "beacon for human freedom"? The queer, egalitarian capital of the Middle East? Since when? Not trying to justify ANY of the violence, but seems like a weird way to represent an average city that isn't really a beacon for any of those things.
