It’s about not giving your opponent any ammunition to discredit your argument.

Not to mention the 1000 year old groves of green life that will remain completely unaffected by this tiny security operation. Bastards always trying to make things seem worse then they are. Fake news!

I understand, but that’s not the game here. They will always find a way to discredit the argument. You can keep taking the high road but they are holding you to a standard they only apply to one side of the argument.
Gazans are starving = pre-existing condition, we are providing food, it’s a publicity stunt…
They are targeting journalists/aid workers = they are Hamas, they are harbouring Hamas, they were warned, it was a communication error, it was operator error, it was a malfunction.But don’t you dare show two satellite images that aren’t from the same time of year, that’s clearly misinformation!

Nobody said this was misinformation, they just pointed out how this could be more effective. Gosh.

Yes, the date, that’s what’s going to swing their support… Missed opportunity. Gosh.

They’re not wrong. The color of the background is important to how you see an object. Using the same month would highlight the effects of the war instead of washing them out in the seasonal change. Using this practically is asking people to point out the obvious problem and hurts the point being made in the eyes of anyone looking at it with less than 100% uncritical support, which is the exact group something like this could be used to convince.
