The Difficult Path of Stigmatization
They failed to successfully stigmatize these civilians as terrorists. If this had happened in the past, it would have been successful. After all, Israel has always operated this way. But now, with cell phones equipped with cameras and various platforms for sharing videos, it is no longer easy to conceal such large-scale massacres.
The Failure of the Era of Self-Media
I am behind the times, unaware that we are currently in the era of self-media, where everyone can use their smartphones to shoot and publish content.
In a rush to disrupt the internet in Gaza, the outcome was not satisfactory. Ultimately, it was discovered that innocent civilians were being slaughtered.
This is perhaps what we call failure - the exposure of the massacre leading to its classification as a failure.
