TF1info: You watched the 43-minute videos broadcast by Israel showing the October 7 massacres. How do we as journalists react to the spread of such images?
Michael Scott: It was interesting for me to see this demonstration. I had already seen the majority of the images in the last few weeks; three-quarters of the scenes had already been broadcast on social networks, particularly through Hamas channels, or in the Telegram feed of members of the Israeli first responders. But here it was important for me to see how the Israelis had brought everything together in a single document – and even then, this is only a portion of the images available – for history. And it’s pretty frightening to see. Although most of these scenes were familiar to me, it is absolutely impressive to see them there summarized in a single document and without commentary. But that’s the point, it’s a chilling reminder of what happened on October 7th. Since then, many events have taken place in the region, but the beginning of it all is October 7 and the Hamas action. And in this projection we see a compact, sometimes unbearable summary.
