2. I am of mixed heart on this . . .

. . . on the one hand, showing the actual extent of the barbarity, as in with the 45-minute horror video from October 7, which shows beheadings, rapes, burnings, and other things I don't even want to write about, might put an end to the BS from the truly bitter and hate-filled antisemetic people who insist that none of that happened. On the other hand, respect for the deceased is paramount, and videos of their murder would drastically harm the memories of their loved ones. In addition, I can't imagine such scenes not being used by the truly perverted as snuff films that they would get off on.

Personally, I hold with not showing anything that might invade the privacy of the dead or that could lead to emotional harm for their loved ones.
