The New York Times Has Spread Dangerous Lies about Israel throughout the War
(Jerusalem Post) Gil Hoffman - The New York Times has spread dangerous lies about Israel throughout the Gaza war, from its claim that Israel bombed the Al-Ahli Hospital killing 500 people 10 days into the war, to its front-page photo of skeletal Muhammad Zakariya Ayyoub al-Matouq, whom the newspaper falsely accused Israel of starving, along with other Gazan children. The Times ran the outrageous headline "No proof Hamas routinely stole UN aid, Israeli military officials say," quoting anonymous sources, even after official IDF Spokesperson Nadav Shoshani proved that the opposite was true. It published the easily disprovable claim that 14,000 babies in Gaza would die within 48 hours. The writer, former chief political correspondent for the Jerusalem Post, is executive director of HonestReporting.
