The window's right there, western media. And it's pouring genocide.

It is not okay to treat the fact that Israel is committing genocide like it's a matter of opinion. Every relevant human rights institution on earth says it's a genocide. Zero equivalent institutions say it's not. This is a settled matter.
People who deny that it's a genocide deserve to be taken exactly as seriously as flat earthers. They're just an extremely evil and destructive version of the thing flat earthers are.
You don't see news articles about NASA with journalists adding "an agency which many believe is a government hoax designed to trick us into accepting ball earth theory" to their reporting. If a guest mentions Antarctica on the BBC, the news anchor doesn't interrupt them to say "and we should say here that flat earth theorists deny the existence of that continent, maintaining that it is actually a wall of ice holding the oceans in place."
You also don't see reporting which treats accepted science about space and our planet like it's an opinion held by some. You never see "which many scientists claim exists" when a report discusses outer space, or mentions of the horizon mitigated with words like "which some hold is due to the curvature of the earth rather than laws of perspective and light refraction". They're just treated as established facts, and those who disagree with the established facts are not taken seriously.
The genocide in Gaza should be no different. As the old adage goes, if one side says it's raining and the other says it isn't, your job isn't to quote both sides, your job is to look out the window.
The window's right there, western media. And it's pouring genocide.
