The New York Times is still reporting that 1,300 Palestinians died during the three week conflict between Hamas and Israel that ended a few days ago.

But Italy’s leading newspaper, Corriere della Sera, after a thorough investigation in Gaza, reports that the Gaza death toll was 500 to 600, most of whom were gunmen and terrorists. Other media, including the Times, seem to be relying on thoroughly impartial anti-Israel (and in some cases anti-Semitic) UN sources.

Has the mainstream media been taken in again by Palestinian propagandists as they were in Jenin in 2002?

Meanwhile, Hamas is now reportedly using UNRWA school buildings and hospitals in Gaza as torture centers, but Western media and NGOs are suddenly silent.
