After a year of reporting on the Israel-Hamas war,

"As a war correspondent, I’ve met soldiers around the world — in
Ukraine, Iraq, Afghanistan and Lebanon, as well as Israel — and the best
of them do not celebrate death, even the deaths of their enemies. And
especially not the deaths of civilians.
So why are so many outside the battle zone ready to glorify the massacre
of Israelis on Oct. 7 or willing to dismiss the casualties of
Palestinians in the war that has followed?
My answer is simple: a lack of empathy. A lack of understanding and
curiosity about the reasons that humans do what they do. Along with
tribalism that encourages tunnel vision and an unwillingness to see or
hear anything that doesn’t support the tribe’s position.
I count the normalization of civilian casualties as one of the
particularly dangerous trends this war is producing. Yes, civilians
always die in war. No, we should not become desensitized to it. The
distinction between combatants and civilians, however much asymmetrical
war may blur it, is at the basis of international law and the rules of
war. "
