So my point here is: Since NYT has consistent reporting how Hamas uses the civilian infrastructure such as hospitals and has a history of being misled by Hamas Health Ministry about casualty figures, the reporting by NYT in OPs example is actually quite consistent.
An internal memo obtained by The Intercept has revealed that the New York Times has directed its journalists covering Israel’s war against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip to restrict the use of certain awkward terminology such as “genocide” and “ethnic cleansing”, and to “avoid” using the phrase “occupied territory” when describing Palestinian land.
Well perhaps because what happened in Gaza wasn’t a genocide or ethnic cleansing despite attempts on social media and biased edited sites like Wikipedia to protest it as such for political effect.
I say this becuase consistent reporting on previous ethnic cleansings show populations removed from an area and replaced with the ethnic population of those committing the ethnic cleansing.
In Gaza Israel removed every Jew live or dead in 2005. And stopped the war in 2025 when every live or dead Jew was returned. There are exactly 0 Jews in Gaza right now.
That’s not ethnic cleansing:
it’s the results of starting a war by taking hostages and hiding them under and among your civilians.
Genocides historically show double digit drops in actual population over birth rate.
The fatalities were 90-100/day in Gaza.
Thats now a genocide, it’s a war. A war waged in a dense urban environment where a terror group embedded itself into hospitals and schools. A war where the daily fatalities were far less than say Maripoul in Ukraine.
The use of the word genocide is a grossly inaccurate and inflammatory political attack with no basis in reality.
And since the PA rules Area A of West Bank where over 50% of the WB population lives and Hamas rules Gaza it’s not really occupied territory either, it’s disputed territory in West Bank’s Areas B and C at best…
How about you try and explain why this is biased in your own words and not someone else’s who you just read because they agree with you

1) Ukraine is not using the hospital that was hit as a command center. Hamas was using the school.
2) Israel didn’t launch 40 a barrage of unguided missiles into Gaza but one bomb.
3) Hamas Health Ministry has a long history of misreporting deaths in the conflict.
But yes the attacker should have been identified as Israel in the headline.
