Iran and its proxies are likely to appreciate a New York Times report on Iran and its proxies, since it embraces the language of the terrorists axis of resistance.
But they are also aimed at history. If factual news reports on the pager and walkie-talkie attacks are the first rough draft of history, then revisionism by less scrupulous journalists are a malicious attempt at a second draft.

In his memoirs, historian Avi Shlaim joins those who blame Zionists for the dissolution of the Iraq's Jewish community — ignoring, obscuring, and outright falsifying facts to promote the untenable thesis.
