NYT Defends Piece Alleging Israeli Forces Purposely Shot Children

The Spin

The accusations against this rigorously scrutinized article are completely baseless. Everything that was included in the piece was verified multiple times, including by independent experts, and there are photos substantiating its claims that are simply too graphic to publish.

The CT scans are obviously fake for several reason. The lack of skull fragments, exit wounds, or change in the shape of the bullets is definitive proof that the CT scans were fabricated. Additionally, even if the scans are legitimate, there is no evidence that Israeli forces fired the bullet, as Hamas is known to kill civilians.

Metaculus Prediction

There's a 90% chance that the International Criminal Court will bring charges against a member of the Israeli Government or Israeli Defense Force before 2027, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
