How the New York Times Reported on the ‘Massacre’ in Gaza
The New York Times, ever faithful to its anti-Israel animus, reported on the stampede on February 29 in northern Gaza by doubting every part of the IDF account, and credulously accepting, instead, the account put out by Hamas and its supporters.
