.@evanhill, @herbertnyt @PatrickKingsley your hatchet job on #Israel gets worse w every layer of research.
Thread 1/
NYT minimized #IDF intel on the tunnels, showing only 10 secs of a skinny non-threatening #Hamas tunnel.
What you DIDN'T show would have killed your narrative.
On June 5, 2021 - BEFORE @evanhill tweeted his search for tech bomb expert to help him on NYT project - Iran's Mehr & Qatar's Al Jazeera broadcast a vid of #Hamas' tunnels w Command, Control, Plan & Operation chambers!
Can't deny a legit target.

3/ NYT apparently had NO U.S. staff in #Gaza & relied on Gaza photographers & "fixers" who are owned or threatened by #Hamas.
Of course they took no pics/videos of Wahda St tunnel.
BUT, Al Jazeera had no problem, as these screenshots show - large chambers, stockpiles of weapons.
4/ Was this THE Wahda St command post? There's no way of knowing or when the vid was made.
But such tunnels and chambers were located all over -- and UNDER -- #Gaza.
@nytimes had no interest in showing this threat to Israelis, but most of all, to Gazans just meters above.
5/ With no NYT team in Gaza, who did interviews, legwork, photos, aerial videos, get permits from police (Hamas)?
@evanhill, producer & narrator who probably wasn't in Gaza since his Al Jaz & HRW days, gave credits.
Here's one: Mustafa Thraya, Pal Min of Endowments & Rel Affairs
6/ Who filmed & produced the @nytimes hatchet piece w everyone stuck in NY?
Here's a clue. Soliman Hijjy appears on this credit slide THREE times as a producer, cinematographer & aerial cinematog. Here's Hijjy, @Evanhill's main man in #Gaza.
