Yeah. @simonpratt.bsky.social made this point when urging people not to automatically promote every atrocity that shows up on their feed.

Yet this does not merely mean avoiding genocidal language. It also means avoiding narratives that paint one party as essentially villainous, guilty of every accusation and capable of every evil act. Every allegation should be investigated, and every victim deserves justice, but members of the public should ask if they are in a position to properly gather and assess evidence before sharing claims.
Foreign critics of Israel should focus their rhetoric on well-documented violations and abuses, granting space and agency to journalists and investigators to gather evidence and report truth. With so many confirmed cases of law-of-war violations by Israel, it is also not necessary to endorse unconfirmed allegations as a condition for exerting pressure for a cease-fire or de-escalation.
