What’s wrong with documenting current world events? What were these journalists supposed to do? Throw themselves in front of guns? It would make kill count only higher.
According to HonestReporting, four names appear on AP’s photo credits from the Israel-Gaza border area on October 7: Hassan Eslaiah, Yousef Masoud, Ali Mahmud and **Hatem Ali.**
I know it’s not an English language name, but… Hatem Ali.
I don’t know, there’s enough valid criticism of how the media has been shockingly complicit in whitewashing Hamas…wild conspiracy theories just drown out the truth.
If this is true, it’s one of the most corrupt acts since Watergate
Well, they’re on Mossad’s list now. They better beware of open windows.
TravelingIsrael.com has the best commentary on this conflict… Search YouTube
Media is right up there with the UN as far as having a hand in inciting this violence and attempting to destabilize nations
There was a lot of planning leading up to this. I’m sure that having “reporters” on staff was part of that plan. These guys are just more Hamas members cosplaying media for a nefarious purpose.
I read the Honest Reporting article on this ( the watchdog mentioned in the Ynetnews article.)
It’s important to note that most (although not all) of the people mentioned are freelance journalists, IE, they are self-employed and sell photos/videos to multiple international newsgroups. Buying a photo is not the same as employing them.
They never really went much beyond the border fence and were not present for the initial breach, from what their own reporting shows. Being people who make a living off of the news, isn’t it in their best interest to show up to a site the moment they get wind something is going down?
I’m not going to say something nefarious didnt happen with these people, but I’m not exactly upset that they rushed there to do their job and documented atrocities for the world to see.
The Palestinian Authority does have its own official news outlet so it’s not far fetched to suspect there was some level of coordination between Hamas terrorist and the Wafa News Agency.
So Hamas has embedded camera crews and people wonder why reporters are sometimes targeted. Ya, total mystery to me too.
Dumb article, shitty source. And inconsistent with the fact that these stations have basically been doing Israeli PR since Oct 7th. The only reputable source for the conflict is Al Jazeera which is why the IDF has killed and targeted many of their journalists and families.
AP has some explaining to do.
Collaborators, that’s what they are.
Put them on hamas terrorists list and trial them as terrorists.
Some news agencies will object, but considering this, knowing what is coming and just going there to film the atrocities knowing they could have stopped senseless massacre, they are terrorists.
I’ve always wondered about their presence at the event (and other terrorist events), and figured that since nobody else was questioning it then I must have been missing something obvious. This is just more depressing.
Holy shit this is bad. If this can be verified it will absolutely destroy all trust and credibility from these sources. Even if they had no knowledge this would go down the fact that they wouldn’t get their sources vetted is damning in its own right.
Kinda hard when half the population has multiple passports and has journalist as profession.
I’ve brought this up in the Israel/Gaza debate for years.
The AP in Gaza is closely monitored by Hamas and focuses on the brutality of Israel and brushes off the violence committed by Hamas.
AP story: “IDF guns down children during protest”
Actual story: “17 year olds shooting powerful fireworks and throwing rocks large enough to do significant harm at IDF”
Guns vs fireworks and rocks might seem like a step too far, but they are very easily lethal from what are essentially fully grown male bodies.
Hamas has always known that this is first and foremost a media war.
To be fair, Israel is like 2 hours long, I don’t think it’d be that hard to get to the scene of anything’s that happening
This is just crazy news.
These are the exact same people that report shit like 1000 people killed in Israeli attacks 999 are children.
