Part 4/9:
A significant point raised by O'Neal concerns the misinformation surrounding casualties in Gaza. The New York Times previously published an image claiming a boy was starving to death in Gaza, which was later admitted to be inaccurate; the boy had a pre-existing medical condition. Despite the correction, the initial falsehood spread globally, fueling anti-Israel sentiment and reinforcing harmful narratives that Israel intentionally targets children and civilians. O'Neal laments that this misinformation stokes unjustified hatred and delegitimizes Israel’s position.
