Thread. 1/ More questions for @nytimes @herbertnyt @evanhill
Hill amassed a massive team for his hit job on #Israel. What did the NYT spend?
$2 million for the intensive month-long operation?
No one could get into #Gaza. How'd you pull that off? Who interviewed, film, research?

2/ More Qs for @nytimes @herbertnyt @evanhill

At end of his list of staff, Hill thanks UNRWA & a Palestinian human rights group.
Were they his foot soldiers on the ground (ON, not UNDER to investigate #Hamas tunnels.)
Another essential group was necessary, but not credited.

3/ More Qs for @nytimes @herbertnyt

The Times case rests on bomb fragments showing size & US origins.
Who collected & presented the "evidence?"

THE GAZA POLICE, an integral part of #Hamas' forces. Some cops are officers in Qassam Brigade (& wrapped in Hamas flags at funerals).

4/ Gaza "police officers" in Hamas shrouds in in 2014 war.

5/ More Qs for NYT.
In 2018 NYT did a similar hit job to prove IDF sniper murdered a 20 y.o medic on the Gaza border. Massive forensic team & budget. Hidden conclusion: not intentional, a ricochet.
@halbfinger wrote it.
Producer @malachybrowne involved in both NYT hit jobs.
