Back after the initial escalation in 23, I was pretty annoyed how all the news that even mentioned it at all phrased it like the genocide started with that escalation and hadn't been happening for decades prior. But now I see so so much more awareness of the topic, and I kinda changed my mind: headlines like this seem to make people feel less stupid for only realizing now, and thus more inclined to open their eyes to it. Since it worked in 23, itll probably work now, so I'm not really against this headline. Ideally, people will then do some further reading, and eventually find out that the genocide of palestinians has been Israel's agenda since it was founded after WW2.
