The MSM probably won’t report all of what was shown.
But if this “compilation video” was shown prime time on BBC1……….you may be surprised at which way public opinion went.

I don’t think anyone is in denial about the actions of Hamas. Whether they justify the systematic slaughter of thousands, displacement of hundreds of thousands, of Palestinians who had nothing to do with it is the question.
I’m sure the Palestinians could equally capture the hearts and minds of the population with the charred remains of children blown apart in Israeli air strikes. It’s very much not a one way street when the average person would, somewhat reasonably, expect a 21st century military to behave slightly better than your average terrorist group.
Most people would view the conflict as a consequence of events predating two weeks ago on Saturday.
I’m very much sceptical that there’s a mainstream media effort to downplay the events - every time I switch on the news it is the life story of one hostage or another. I guess it’d be hard to personalise each Palestinian story given the ruthless efficiency with which Israel are creating more of them.
