Event 9 describes the physical violence and civilian casualties in Gaza, while the new event describes the alleged diplomatic and political effort to suppress reporting on these same operations. They are parallel aspects of the conflict: one is the operational reality, the other is the alleged political management of that reality's perception in Washington."
