Bogus far-Left “fact-checkers” such as NewsGuard will never downgrade the Times no matter how many lies it tells. They’re just weapons of censorship designed to defame and discredit those who tell truths the Leftist elites would prefer remain concealed.
“New York Times headline falsely claims Gaza war has most Arab deaths in 40 years,” Israel National News, December 24, 2023:
The New York Times is under fire for a headline that falsely claimed that the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas has led to the highest Arab death toll of any Middle Eastern war in the last 40 years.
The headline reads: ‘Gaza deaths surpass any Arab war losses in 40 years,’ not specifying that it refers only to Arab wars against Israel. The article itself specifies that it only refers to wars between Arab nations and organizations and Israel.
Readers noted that in the Syrian Civil War, over 300,000 civilians have been killed, more than ten times the number of people killed in Gaza, which includes about 8,000 terrorists. About 500,000 people have been killed in total during the Syrian Civil War, according to most estimates.
The Iran-Iraq War of 1980-1988 resulted in about 500,000 deaths. The Iraq War that began in 2003 resulted in 460,000 deaths as of 2011. The Yemen Civil War, which began in 2015, has claimed 377,000 lives to date. The 2013-2017 war against ISIS in Iraq claimed over 150,000 lives. Even the First Gulf War of 1991, which resulted in the relatively low death toll of about 50,000, claimed more than double the number of lives as the current war in Gaza.
According to the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry, about 20,000 people have been killed in Gaza since the October 7 massacre. According to Israeli officials, nearly half of this number have been Hamas terrorists or members of other terrorist organizations, meaning that a little more than one civilian has been killed for every combatant killed….

Well as Hamas and the other organisations have been firing rockets into civilian targets in Israel for many years and in the 7/10 invasion killed everybody they came across, not to mention all the attacks and suicide bombings carried out before the so called siege was set up, it seems that the ‘palestinians’ consider all Israelis legitimate tragets no matter waht their age or sex. So as far as I am concerned the same rule should apply to the ongoing actions of the IDF in Gaza. Though of course the IDF take all the precautions they are able to
