So they are basically doing satire of scrolling through a typical social media feed:
"Look at this baby on the plane, it should be illegal"
"There are 10yos in Sephora..."
"Stop ageing"and then gradually these terms start to blur into a commentary on Gaza, mostly on the images coming out of there:
"10yos in sheets...", "It should be illegal..."
"Look at this baby...", "Stop ageing...", "It should be illegal..."
"I'm so mad...", "10yos...", "10yos..."
"10yos in sheets...", "Stop ageing..."
"Look at this baby...", "It should be illegal..."
"There are 10yos in sheets...", "10yos..."
"10yos...", "Illegal...""Look at this baby...", "Stop ageing..."
10yos in sheets refers to the Muslim burial practice of wrapping the body in a kafan, or ceremonial white cloth, and/or the fact that Gaza doesn't have anything else to wrap bodies in but cloth.
"It should be illegal..." refers to what is taking place and/or how the IDF acts like it's illegal just to be older than an infant in Gaza because children are deemed to be "of combat age".
"Look at this baby..." blurs from being light-hearted videos of infants doing cute/silly things or typical complaints about having to be around babies crying on a plane and it descends into juxtaposition of the creeping horror and outrage at the images of what babies are being subjected to in Gaza.
Finally it ends on "Look at this baby...", "Stop ageing..." - the Gazan baby stops ageing because it has passed away while we are distracting ourselves looking at images of cute/annoying babies and we are preoccupied with finding ways of to look young and/or we are marketed to believe that the most important thing that we can do right now is to try and preserve our looks.
With that in mind give it another watch and see if it makes sense.
Oh, I see. That's actually a pretty clever idea, but the execution was a little muddy unfortunately.
Right? I did a fairly direct interpretation of the messages in this video but I didn't talk about how it's a simulator for descent into madness, the mundane, doomscrolling, and how crazy-making it is being exposed to horrific outrages but being unable to do anything about it, and all at the same time.
Art evokes and well executed art evokes different—and often conflicting—things simultaneously.
Your time would be better spent listening to this

I listened for one minute six seconds and all I got was the intro :(
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Is this person trying to have their video go viral so that people will remix what she's saying and then that will go viral?
I can't imagine this existing for any other reason.
