The images from Israel and Gaza couldn’t be more different one year since October 7, 2023. As Israel mourned those killed and captured in a Hamas attack it had been completely unprepared for, more Palestinians were being forced from their homes when the Israeli army launched a ferocious assault on the north of the Strip.
In Israel’s mainstream media, a narrative of mourning sits alongside one of revenge. Many Israeli news outlets ignore, or at times even encourage, atrocities in Gaza.
