    No one is seriously denying the horrors of 7 Oct. They didn’t do this to counter anything, they did it to shock journalists. Frankly, I think what they did was abusive.

      Are you suggesting they kidnapped the journalists and forced them to watch it? As far as I’ve understood, this was voluntary.

      Also, there absolutely are corners of the internet that are denying that any atrocities occurred at all.

        Corners of the internet, sure. However those people aren’t going to be convinced by some journalists they don’t know watching 43 minutes of curated gore porn.

        Voluntary or not, videos like that would be traumatising and most journalists would feel obligated to watch - it’s their job.

        No one is seriously denying the horrors of 7 Oct.

        Replace seriously with “honestly” or “genuinely” if it suits you better.

        My point is, saying it didn’t happen isn’t a proper argument, and this presentation isn’t genuinely meant to address that position either. It’s meant to horrify people and distract from the atrocities that have happened since.
