This is exactly right. One of the things that I find very anti-semitic and extremely harmful is that the media has extremely rarely reported on the millions of Israelis that are extremely against the continued military intervention in Gaza, which has lent itself to dehumanization of Israel write large.

The media should definitely report on those. I would love to see those millions on the streets protesting. Sadly, lately that does not seem to be happening. Did you see that Guardian press guy interviewing people in Tel Aviv[1]? He had trouble even finding one person, who would openly state, that they feel bad for all the Palestinian civilians now suffering.

If they exist, then please show me those millions protesting. That would improve my image of the Israeli civilian population from "most don't care because it is not them suffering" to "there definitely is a sizable portion who does care and wants to be heard and seen".

I haven't seen the video, but he didn't try very hard. Outside of small religious extremist communities, most Israelis realize two things about the Gazans:

- They are suffering severely. - They are suffering due to the education of UNRWA, teaching them that the murder of Jews is the highest honour.

Of course we feel pity for them. But pity is not actionable - and we want our hostages back.
