I remember quite a lot of footage from ISIS around the internet. The difference was that mainstream media didn’t pick them up. Nor there was a widespread support to ISIS. Even though both ISIS was similar to Hamas and dealing with ISIS was as brutal as Gaza invasion with many collaterals.

There were lots of videos from ISIS, but there wasn't much, if any, coming from the citizens of Iraq or Syria. But we're seeing a lot of videos, photos, messages, etc coming from the citizens of Gaza.
We, as a world, are seeing civilian life and casualties during a war in near real-time. This is something that many of us have never experienced before.
A good question is how much of those are legit civilians and how many are undercover Hamas production.

Are you asking that same question to everything coming out of Israel? Or everything coming out of Ukraine?
