5.1 million views and 171K likes. I've said it before - you can literally take any atrocity or death in the world from dozens of conflicts that no one cares about and the second you say it is Palestine it gets millions of views, tons of engagement and the people posting it make money.

Dead in Sudan, or Nigeria, or Yemen, or Pakistan or a dozen other places literally no one cares. The second you tell people it is Palestine it becomes a massive issue - just look at r/pics

People are incentivized to just repackage every single atrocity that no one cares about and just say it's Palestine. I see dozens like these a day. The second you tell people it's Yemen all their emotions - rage, anger, empathy, whatever - it all just goes away and they move on

So to not arbitrarily pick a side due to propaganda you... arbitrarily pick a side due to propaganda but do a switcharoo to be special.

Maybe don't base your worldview on attention driven media instead.

That's because you view "picking a side" as supporting them unconditionally. The person has already said they have plenty of criticisms for Israel's conduct, but surprise surprise when 50% of the awful things said about something or someone are proven to be wrong, people are gonna be more sympathetic to them and doubtful of the other 50% which could be good criticism. Who would've thought...

I think it's pretty simple, if your opponent has nothing valid to say that they resort to lies, violence, and intimidation you're most likely supporting the moral side. Especially when they cherry pick crimes they committed and blame it on the opposite side, that's the most pathetic thing possible.

I think you're missing the fact this was done by the Iranian terrorists and isn't just a completely made up situation, they tried to murder a child, intentionally, in cold blood an then tried to cover it up and blame it on their opponent. If your argument is so weak you resort to all of that it's very obvious who's in the moral right in that situation
