This tweet is best understood in the context of the consistently biased media coverage that we've seen over the last few years, in which Israeli deaths and injuries are covered far more frequently and with more emotive language than those of Palestinians. This is despite the fact that the harm to Palestinians is far larger, both in terms of the brutality inflicted upon civilians, and the scale of deaths. This is a genocide.
And yes, I'm using the word "Palestinian", because besides the fact that Palestinians in the West Bank have also been severely affected by this conflict (as well as being systematically oppressed by the apartheid regime even before October 7th), Israeli politicians have made it abundantly clear that complete genocide of Palestinians in their goal.
