"Your murder story is confusing. I don't think anything about Israel's murderous brutality needs a prelude."
I think there are an awful lot of people (I've spoken to many of them), some of whom even argue the Zionist side passionately, who know next-to-nothing about the history of the Israel/Palestine conflict. Many people only started paying attention on Oct 7th. So I think it's useful to give each article something of an "on ramp."
As for indifference, again, I've spoken to a lot of people who are more or-less indifferent. Not necessarily because they're bad people, but because, as you say, there's a degree of outrage fatigue, especially for a conflict halfway around the world that's been raging for 76 years.
Almost everybody who takes a clear-headed look at the facts ends up at least recognising that Israel's fanaticism is the main obstacle to peace here. But thanks to the enormous bias in the media, and, of course, Hamas' brutality being smeared across all Palestinian people, communicating the facts is very challenging.

The thing they’re fanatics about is Arabs not being allowed to do this stuff:
