What thirteen profiles establish

Two mechanisms hold across all thirteen profiles without a single exception: the adversary's victims exist only as argument — Israeli hostages on the left; Gaza civilians on the right — and the word "terrorist" is distributed according to the killer's identity. Selective attention is not the vice of one political camp. It is a structure.
