Exposing the Lie about Palestinian Journalists


(David Collier) David Collier - Hamas, NGOs, and key media figures have been spreading an antisemitic conspiracy about Israel killing journalists in Gaza to silence them. I went looking for the social media accounts of the journalists named by the American NGO "Committee for Protecting Journalists" (CPJ). Half of the people that the CPJ lists as journalists work for Hamas or Islamic Jihad channels. This is in direct breach of the CPJ's own guidelines, which say working for terrorist groups should discount them. For example, Hassuna Salim has his own Telegram Channel. On the morning of Oct. 7 he made 100s of celebratory posts. He also posted a call from Islamic Jihad for everyone to rise up, grab their weapon and fight. It is an offensive lie to refer to this person as a journalist. The bottom line is: Israel is not targeting journalists. This is just another antisemitic lie going mainstream.
