There's just one problem with that: it's not true.

Our research team discovered that at least 60% were shot as they attacked civilians or security forces with guns, explosives, Molotov cocktails, knives, rocks, and cars. An additional 29% died during violent riots.
The @nytimes simply omits this fact from its article.

It is also important to note that some two-thirds of all casualties occurred in #Jenin and #Nablus, two militant hotbeds competing for the title of Palestinian "terror capital."
On December 21st, we noted how the 𝘗𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘢𝘯 assault on Israelis is made out to look like an 𝘐𝘴𝘳𝘢𝘦𝘭𝘪 campaign of aggression.
It seems like The New York Times will continue to spread this libel in 2023.
