The New York Times removed a sentence from an article about the anti-Israel documentary Naza after critics said the wording appeared to cast doubt on Israelis\u2019 status as victims of the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, massacre.<\/p>\n

The article originally noted that Israelis remain deeply divided over the political, military and intelligence failures preceding the attack, as well as the conduct of the war. It then stated: \u201cBut the vast majority of Israelis still see themselves as the victims of October 7.\u201d<\/p>\n

Journalists and media watchdog groups criticized the sentence for framing Israeli victimhood as a subjective perception rather than an established fact.<\/p>\n

Journalist Eitan Fischberger compared the wording to saying that Americans \u201cstill see themselves as victims of 9\/11\u201d or the attack on Pearl Harbor.<\/p>\n

After Fox News Digital contacted the newspaper, the Times attributed the wording to an \u201cediting error,\u201d removed the sentence and added an editor\u2019s note to the article.<\/p>\n

The newspaper said the passage had been intended to address how Israelis view their government\u2019s military response to the October 7 attack. Instead, it acknowledged, the wording \u201cinadvertently suggested that their experience as victims of terrorism was a matter of perception.\u201d<\/p>\n
