@debrphillips @Jordmcl1 @mishtal @nytimes Your inability to review the facts does not make you right. We don't listen to YOU because you are a a propagandist kkkunt who supports war crimes & genocide.

@Jordmcl1 @mishtal @nytimes Your inability to review the facts does not make you right. We don’t listen to you because you don’t ever do the work. You just like to whine and accuse. Be happy with the people who care amas we don’t.

Dear @nytimes Remember when you put a sick child with Cerebral Palsy on your front page - and falsely claimed he was a healthy child deliberately starved by Israel? I was the one who uncovered the truth. So excuse me if I don't believe a word you write.

@Michaeach3 GENOCIDAL WAR CRIMINALS CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH.

Look at her true face after they fired this extremist. Jordanian-British Actress Nadia Sawalha just proved exactly why ITV dropped her from Loose Women. 🔴 She was caught on video openly mocking Jews. 🔴 She laughed and said: "And if it all goes wrong you can just say everybody's antisemitic." 🔴 Her own TV colleagues are calling her unhinged. The mask is completely off. She thinks Jew-hatred is a joke. RT to expose her and make sure she never returns to television!

@K_AminThaabet Dr. Jamal Salha shared X-rays of children’s skulls showing bullets and shrapnel during operations. But even in the face of such brutal evidence, some still find ways to deny the truth in order to cover up the crimes of the Israeli army

@Fashiontweet @K_AminThaabet That's because you're a genocidal kkkunt who can't handle the truth.

@K_AminThaabet @Gatsby_PQ Two good friends of mine, both actual doctors, ate this up lock stock and barrel. I don’t consider them good friends anymore.

The “r*pe dog story” brought to you by the same outlet that claimed this was a legitimate X ray of a gunshot wound

@K_AminThaabet "We don't use rape dogs that's ridiculous" Brought to you by the same people who did this

@K_AminThaabet That's a real photo. There is seemingly no depth of evil that israel's defenders will not stoop to. volkskrant.nl/kijkverder/v/2…

@K_AminThaabet Typical zioshit bark. The world knows who the shit your kind is.

@K_AminThaabet This has already been discussed. The story was fact checked through numerous sources and was never refuted in any credible way. Israeli soldiers do indeed shoot kids.

Were these three images real xray images of injured children taken in Gaza after October 7, 2023? Very likely yes. Do these demonstrate who specifically injured the children? No, and the op-ed author does not claim they do. Warning: graphic images in thread. Although the quoted bet is still pending resolution on the off chance more pertinent info comes out, it's worth outlining where I'm at and why. I want to emphasize that my task is very narrow here: not to adjudicate the tone and scope of the article, certainly not to adjudicate the war in Gaza, only to verify whether the New York Times published fake or substantially misleading images. I will briefly address implications and extrapolations, but my focus is the images. For context, the article claimed this about the images, placing them immediately after the author's story of having regularly treated children with gunshot wounds to the head: These photographs of X-rays were provided by Dr. Mimi Syed, who worked in Khan Younis from Aug. 8 to Sept. 5. She said: “I had multiple pediatric patients, mostly under the age of 12, who were shot in the head or the left side of the chest. Usually, these were single shots. The patients came in either dead or critical, and died shortly after arriving.” When I reached out to the article's author, @FerozeSidhwa, for additional details, he was extremely helpful, providing videos of the full CT scans and photographs of two of the three patients and giving me permission to publish them. Given the nature of the photographs, I will not include them in this top post; those wishing to verify can view them downthread. The middle image is a radiograph; the other two scout images from a CT scan (2D images taken to aid with positioning for the full CT scan). I checked in with an independent radiologist, presenting the images and videos with as little context as possible to understand his reaction to them in isolation. I've attached the relevant conversation. Per him, the photographs, CT scans, and radiographs all match up. Many people reported concerns about the pixellation in the final scout image; he mentions that "quite a bit of artifact" is typical and it is not out of the norm. Bullet appearance tends to be highly variable, and the images are within the standard range of variance. Online commenters also found a number of similar-looking x-rays; I will link them below. This aligns with the response from the New York Times. Many are inclined to distrust the Times, but my conviction is that distrust should be bounded. Framing, tone, and goals can and should be treated with skepticism. Publishing literal fake images, then doubling down on it, would do immense harm to their reputation. I do not believe they did so and I do not think anyone has presented strong evidence that they did so. I cannot personally verify the precise provenance of the images and scans, but any hoax would have to be elaborate at this point. More to the point, it would be odd: Gaza is a war zone. Horrible things happen every day in war; doctors even in regular situations see horrible things constantly. The cleanest explanation is that the images are exactly what the caption purported them to be: pediatric patients in critical condition from her clinic in Khan Younis, tragically shot. When I asked the author, he emphasized that there is no possible way the doctors could know how the children were shot—"killed by Hamas, Israel, Martians, the United States"—no way to know. They're physicians sitting in hospitals. He also noted that patients and family consistently report Israelis shot them—not that they know or that their testimony should be treated as fully reliable, but that that's what they say. Now, a few words on the author: some have noted he is not an impartial observer, pointing to some anti-Israel articles he wrote on the Electronic Intifada some years ago, his appeals to messaging from pro-Hamas organizations like the National Lawyers Guild, his anti-Israel activism in the "Uncommitted" movement and elsewhere, and his belief that what is happening in Gaza is genocide. That he was explicitly an advocate for one side is, I believe, well established in the opinion article, but bears repeating. He was honest and forthright with me and is certainly sincere in his convictions. I believe he should be seen in a light akin to a prosecution attorney, not a judge. His frame is one of explicit anti-Israel advocacy. Take that for what you will, but it does not change the nature of the evidence. It is also worth looking briefly at the specifics of other claims and advocacy in the article. These are not connected to the veracity of the images; they are independent statements at other points in the article. The story from Dr. Khawaja Ikram: “One day, while in the E.R., I saw a 3-year-old and 5-year-old, each with a single bullet hole to their head. When asked what happened, their father and brother said they had been told that Israel was backing out of Khan Younis. So they returned to see if anything was left of their house. There was, they said, a sniper waiting who shot both children.” The Times questions to Israel: "A spokesperson for the I.D.F. responded with a statement that did not directly answer whether or not the military had investigated reports of shootings of preteen children, or if any disciplinary action had been taken against soldiers for firing at children." The article's later advocacy: "American law and policy have long forbidden the transfer of weapons to nations and military units engaged in gross violations of human rights, especially — as a 2023 update to the United States Conventional Arms Transfer Policy makes clear — when those violations are directed at children. It is difficult to conceive of more severe violations of this standard than young children regularly being shot in the head." The conclusion: "The horror must end. The United States must stop arming Israel." "And afterward, we Americans need to take a long, hard look at ourselves." The article never outright states with certainty that Israelis are deliberately shooting children in the head, but it certainly implies it in those instances. The scout images and the author's explicit claims offer only indirect support for this, and again, the article is an advocacy piece in the Opinion section, not an investigative report into the nature of the shootings. The article certainly did not go out of its way to hedge by eg reminding readers that physicians do not know the details of how their patients were injured; it was written with intent to persuade. My judgment on this is that the facts in the article as literally written are supportable, but that the implications drawn from them are used to support as anti-Israel a narrative as can be managed in order to sway public sentiment against Israel in the Gaza war. People can make of all of that what they will. To return to the bet: officially, the bet will resolve on 11/24/2024, unless the parties want to resolve it earlier. There's always a chance more information will come out before then, but as things stand, I believe it is more likely than not that the 3 images in the NYT article are real xray images of injured children taken in Gaza after October 7, 2023. I make no claims and take no position on who shot the children or in what circumstances they were shot. If I were to resolve it today, I would do so in favor of @raspy_aspie.

@K_AminThaabet IT'S ALL TRUE. The genocidal war criminals keep posting the crimes they are committing. The world doesn't believe YOUR propaganda.

@K_AminThaabet It's real, and that's exactly what a bullet looks like on an X-ray. It's funny how the people who tried to sell the world atrocity propaganda to justify genocide and land theft want to deny dozens of firsthand experiences. Truly deranged.

@HrvatskaJordan @JDunlap1974 @NYCMayor Fuck you genocide supporter.

@JDunlap1974 Meanwhile in @NYCMayor New York Jewish people are fighting for their lives against terrorists.

New York City Muslim Mayor Zohran Mamdani today publicly called for America to align with Islam and "Prophet Muhammad" to support mass Muslim immigration, which is truly terrifying. He is also preparing to implement Sharia law in New York City!

@kevinblue345 My favorite part is when white people call out the dumb racists because all of them do not rock with that bs!!! ❤️🥰🙌🏾

What is the purpose? Trying to spread a narrative and go viral pretending to be the victim? I’ve never seen so many male Karens in my life. You’re risking your life for a viral moment. The guy was minding his business. It’s a real obsession at this point. Mentally disturbed individuals

another white racist bothering black people

@JDunlap1974 Ignorant, brainwashed, racist, unpatriotic, bigoted, fake christian, PEDOPHILE worshipping magat kkkult members are terrifying. HE IS NOT IMPLEMENTING "SHARIA LAW". I'm more terrified of TALLIBANGELISTS & Y'ALLQAEDA who worship a false idol & anti-Christ. Deport ALL magats.

@HillelNeuer The Epstein Class operative accusing someone of being a "rape denier" is next level. LOL!
