Adding to the mountain of evidence that Israel is engaged in a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, Al Jazeera on Thursday aired footage of what the news outlet reported was an Israeli drone targeting four Palestinians in Khan Younis last month.

Those killed by the unmanned aerial vehicle in the rubble of the southern Gaza city appear to be unarmed teenagers or young men. According to a translation of the coverage, they were not identified in the reporting.

A confusing thing for me about this report is ..... where did this footage come from? Was this actual footage from an Israeli drone? Was it footage from someone else who filmed the strike?

I fully support the Palestinians and completely abhor what the IDF is doing but I'm completely at a loss as to where this footage came from.

Are the Israelis that callous as to freely release footage this graphic and blatantly horrific for the public to see? Or was it secretly acquired? Or is this footage from someone else in some other way?

It's absolutely horrible that this is even happening .... it's somehow even more horrible to have footage of the actual acts happening and it's aftermath and the world generally just not reacting to any of it.

This isn't an Israeli problem .... we're all complicit in making this possible .... and we're all complicit in allowing it to continue.

We haven't evolved ... we're no better than our ancestors a thousand years ago ... we're just more efficient about how terrible we can be to one another.
