    Were the photos taken at the same time of day and year? Not to diss the message, which is obviously that Israel is destroying Gaza, but I want to make sure we’re not misrepresenting anything for exaggeration

          Not necessarily, if you frequently reference satellite imagery like in the open street map community, you’ll notice that colors and saturation cary wildly between satellites, because they use different techniques to get clearer pictures through various atmospheric effects, and some techniques give greyscale output which may just be combined with color data without much regard for aesthetics. For many applications, color is unnecessary, so many sources just don’t bother touching up the colors. It’s totally believable that both images are as-is from their respective sources.

              Usually only the regional imagery sets are from planes, I believe all the global ones are from satellites. But it’s a moot point, the color doesn’t really change the fact that the buildings are completely flattened. No need to prove your credentials 😉

                they definitely are flattened, no question about it. I just worry the people that should take this more seriously won’t because of the contrast/saturation difference, especially in the water, it looks manipulated even if it wasn’t.

        I’m not saying I don’t see a difference in colours, but I’m honestly not looking at the water.

        But I agree I would prefer more accurate pics, given that the reality of the situation is as bad as it already is
