ICJ didn't reach any conclusions or positions except that IDF needs to be careful. No call for a ceasefire.
I'm curious what people in Tel Aviv see in media. In America, it's wall-to-wall "police say"-like IDF clips and Bill Maher condemnation, dehumanization, and equivocating Palestine supporters with Hamas terrorists. The talking heads cheerfully greet Netanyahu.

As someone who also consumes US news, this does not describe what I’ve seen.
Local news or networks? Which ones?
Written, a combination of New York Times, Washington Post, and what Google News aggregates (frequently includes Fox and a mix of websites of local news websites)
I have found the exact opposite. NPR, for example, spends a lot of time humanizing Gazans and showing that Israel is terrorizing them, quite literally.
NPR also frequently talked about the right wing/nationalist power seizures leading up to this.
Before the war, I think a good number of Americans saw Israel blowing up the Associated Press offices. It hardly matters what the excuse was.
I feel like every week I've heard a story about Israel telling Gazans where to go, and then bombing that location.
I'm not sure I saw any news outlet that didn't report 70% women and children casualties, which pretty much speaks for itself.
Nobody I went to college with supports Israel at all. Genocide Joe is not just used by his oponents. That name didn't come out of nowhere. Many of the people who voted for him agree his genocidal support of Israel is unacceptable.
You live in a bubble and do not see coverage from Fox, CNN, or NYT.
Fox, CNN and NYT are boomer news. I am sure many people still get their opinions and ideologies from those sources but I think its pretty evident that they are waning in popularity
