In Their Words: Some Palestinian Families Of Those “Mistakenly Killed” Might Get Compensated For Their Loss

In an attempt to begin rebuilding its legitimacy, Israel is considering compensating Palestinian families for their losses caused by mistakes made by its Defense Forces. Here’s the idea: they will choose one or two high‑profile incidents and then try to engineer a compensation scheme that will satisfy the Israeli population. This must be some kind of joke.

From The Jerusalem Post:

These incidents might include the World Central Kitchen (April 2024, when seven aid workers were mistakenly killed); the Islamic Red Crescent (March 2025, when up to 15 aid workers were mistakenly killed); one or more incidents of mass (as many as 69 and as many as 125, in two different incidents) mistaken Palestinian deaths in Jabalya from 2023; an incident in which multiple Reuters reporters were killed in Lebanon in 2023; some of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF)-related incidents in 2025 (when some dozens of Palestinians were mistakenly killed going to receive, or after receiving, food aid); and some incidents in which children died due to generally poor war conditions.

I won’t say much beyond this: narrative control and framing are fascinating constructs for shaping the human mind toward a particular point of view.
