"The horrendous Hamas incursion into Israel which targeted civilians, including women, children and the elderly, will remain in global consciousness as a crime against humanity.

What swiftly followed those brutal assaults of October 7 was the unremitting aerial bombing of Gaza, killing thousands of unarmed people, including women, children and the elderly, as part of Israel’s drive to seek “justice”.

There is a back story here of colonisation, forced expulsion of Palestinians and the capture of their land. It has remained a blot on the West which had sought to assuage its guilt over the Nazi atrocities perpetrated on the Jews by making the
Palestinians, who had no role in the Holocaust, pay the greatest price for it through the establishment of the Jewish state of Israel on Palestinian soil. Over time, Israel evolved into a settler colonial apartheid state, capturing more and more of
Palestinian land through untold, militarised repression until it has become what it is today: a nuclear power with one of the world’s most powerful armies, enabled by the steady drip of $3.8 billion from the US pouring in as military aid every year.

There was a time when this back story was known in India; there was a time when the Indian political establishment extended solidarity to the Palestinian cause. That time has long passed and nothing indicated this better than India having abstained from
a UNGA resolution on October 27, calling for an immediate humanitarian truce in Gaza. Remember, that three-day visit to Israel that Narendra Modi made in 2017 – the first Indian prime minister to do so? And how he followed it up with a three-hour visit
to Ramallah the next year? The brevity of the latter visit and the statement which emanated from it signalled to the world that the careful balance India had hitherto maintained in its relations between the two entities had ended. Today, India is one of
Israel’s most crucial trading partners. More relevant, it is the largest purchaser of Israel-made arms, apart from surveillance technology (‘Import Data Shows IB Bought Hardware From Israel Matching Kit Used for Pegasus, OCCRP Says’, The Wire,
October 20, 2022). It has also emerged as the Indian establishment’s most favoured model for military and police deployment."

The slaughter in Gaza is horrendous. But why is the PRC state-controlled media so silent about the slaughter by Hamas in Israel?

To make noise about one while ignoring the other is not logical.

If you want to discuss official Chinese media, feel free to start a new thread. As is, I don't know what you are talking about. This thread is about changes of Indian media written by Pamela Philipose
who is "an Indian journalist and researcher, who is a senior fellow at the Indian Council of Social Science Research."

Does it make sense to criticize one side but not the other regarding this Israeli-Palestinian conflict?

I am talking about both the Israeli government and Hamas. Both are awful. But some people only criticize one side, though both are murderers.
