The New York Times is defending an opinion essay published last week that claims to show evidence of Palestinian children having been shot in the head by Israel’s Defense Forces after experts cast doubt on the credibility of the analysis.
“Times Opinion rigorously edited this guest essay before publication, verifying the accounts and imagery through supporting photographic and video evidence and file metadata,” the editor of Times Opinion, Kathleen Kingsbury, stated on Tuesday. “We also vetted the doctors and nurses’ credentials, including that they had traveled to and worked in Gaza as claimed.”
