New York Times report under fire for questioning whether Israelis were true victims of Oct 7 terror attack

A New York Times article by reporter Isabel Kershner has faced intense backlash for its framing of the October 7 terror attack. The report sparked controversy by suggesting that Israelis still largely view themselves as the victims of the Hamas attack. This reporting occurred within a piece discussing the documentary film NAZA, which recently won the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival for depicting the alleged killing of Palestinian civilians by Israeli forces in Gaza.
