According to The Washington Post,\u2062 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cFor weeks,\u200c hundreds of locally\u200d based journalists in the Gaza Strip have provided the \u2062world with intimate views of the devastation on \u2062Palestinian lives and homes \u2013 while trying to find\u200b ways to\u200b survive themselves and keep their families safe.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes, we are told, journalists \u200cin Gaza are under assault.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But there is \u2062another story here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another, far more nefarious story.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That story goes like this: journalists in the Gaza\u200c Strip are typically propagandists for Hamas. That is how they got in.\u2062 That is why they have\u200d been allowed to operate. Hamas deliberately places these pseudo-journalists in areas designed\u200c to shield Hamas military resources.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That story happens to be true.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/episode\/ep-1847-fight-night-3-the-battle-for-second-place-member-exclusive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Honest Reporting, a 501(c)3 website dedicated to \u2063uncovering prejudice in \u200cjournalism, ran a shocking story. They reported\u2063 that during the October 7 massacre of 1,400 Israelis and kidnapping of another\u200d 240, Gaza-based photojournalists working for the Associated Press and Reuters \u2014 so-called stringers for\u2062 the major wire services \u2014 were present. \u2062That presence could only have \u2064occurred\u200c with prior coordination with \u2063Hamas. As Honest Reporting says, \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Four names appear on AP\u2019s photo credits from\u2063 the \u2064Israel-Gaza border area on October 7: Hassan Eslaiah, Yousef Masoud, Ali Mahmud, and Hatem Ali.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here is\u200b a picture of \u2064Hassan Eslaiah being kissed by Yahya Sinwar, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/another-eyewitness-account-from-the-stop-the-steal-event-at-the-us-capitol-including-a-memorial-to-ashli-babbit-pictures-video\/\" title=\"Another Eyewitness Account from the Stop the Steal Event at the US Capitol \u2014 Including a Memorial to Ashli Babbit (Pictures, Video)\">military leader<\/a> of Hamas and mastermind behind the October 7 Hamas massacre of Israelis.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">More: Here is Hassan Eslaiah, an \u200c <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AP?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@AP<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CNN?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@CNN<\/a> contributor,\u2063 taking a selfie \u200cwhile being kissed \u2064by Yahya Sinwar, \u200bthe head of Hamas in Gaza \u200dand\u200b architect of the 10\/7\u200c slaughter. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/V1J5cfUpCS\">https:\/\/t.co\/V1J5cfUpCS<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/SrFQ4cUdzw\">pic.twitter.com\/SrFQ4cUdzw<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Noah Pollak (@NoahPollak)\u200c <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NoahPollak\/status\/1722365617146335592?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 8, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Footage shows\u200b Eslaiah standing in front of\u200c a burning \u2062tank\u2064 during October 7, wearing no press vest or marking\u200b of any sort.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The other three pseudo-journalists were there, too, prepared to take pictures\u2063 of Hamas\u2019 atrocities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And \u200bthen \u200dthe wire services paid them \u2064for it and \u200bgave them photo credits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This, unfortunately, is nothing new.\u200d The journalists \u2064stationed in\u200d Gaza either work directly for Hamas or under the\u200c thumb of Hamas. All the\u200c way back in 2014, the Times\u2062 of Israel\u2063 reported \u200dthat\u2062 journalists\u2063 had been questioned and\u2063 threatened by Hamas; photographers who took pictures Hamas didn\u2019t\u200d like had their cameras\u2062 confiscated.\u200d The Washington Post reported at\u200d the time \u2063that al-Shifa Hospital had \u201cbecome a de facto headquarters for Hamas leaders, who can be seen in the hallways and\u2064 offices.\u201d The Middle East correspondent \u2063for\u200c The \u200dWall Street Journal wrote on Twitter that Hamas \u2063used al-Shifa \u201cas a safe place to see media,\u201d but then inexplicably removed the \u2062post. One French reporter printed a story about being threatened by Hamas \u2013 and then\u2064 had\u200b the outlet remove the story for\u200c his own safety.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, when you\u2064 see \u201cjournalism\u201d from Gaza, just \u2064understand \u2014 there are no \u200dfree journalists in Gaza. Either \u200cjournalists\u2062 are living under Hamas\u2019 thumb, or they work \u200ddirectly with Hamas. As one\u200d Spanish reporter said, \u201cWe saw the Hamas men\u201d hiding behind civilians, \u201cbut had we dared\u2064 point the cameras at them, they\u200d would have\u200b opened fire at us and killed us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, here\u2019s the big\u2064 question: Would journalistic \u200coutlets like the AP and Reuters use stringers associated with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/can-biden-help-unite-america\/\" title=\"Can Biden Help Unite America?\">white supremacist groups<\/a> \u200bin order to take pictures \u2063at Charlottesville? Or are they only \u2062willing \u200cto use stringers\u2064 who associate openly with terrorists and voice\u200c their support for Hitler, so long as\u2064 they\u2019re Islamic radicals? What moral responsibility do the AP and Reuters and their like bear for \u2063printing the propaganda \u200cof \u2062Hamas \u2063and \u200dits minions?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">An awful \u2064lot of responsibility, of course.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And, as\u2062 usual, that\u200b reality is obscured via projection. We\u2019re now supposed to believe that Gaza is rife with \u200cexcellent journalists \u200dbeing targeted\u2064 not by Hamas, but\u2063 by \u200bIsrael.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Projection is \u2063the name of the \u2064game in this \u200cconflict.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It always is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s why\u2064 we see idiots or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/why-the-press-hires-journalists-who-work-directly-with-hamas\/\" title=\"Why The Press Hires Journalists Who Work Directly With Hamas\">moral perverts playing silly semantic games<\/a> obviously\u2062 meant to tar Israel\u200d with the crimes of its enemies.

Mark Kelly, A Vulnerable Democrat In The 2022 Battle Over The Senate\">make vague statements<\/a> about opposing genocide \u2064\u201cfrom all sides.\u201d Which is a bit like saying, after watching O.J. Simpson butcher his ex-wife and then watching the police arrest him, that \u200cyou are against violence on \u2062all sides. Only\u2062 one side in this conflict is attempting \u200bgenocide, and\u2063 it isn\u2019t Israel, and any implication to the contrary is either idiocy or malevolence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s why we see idiots or moral \u2064perverts attempting \u200cto deflect from\u200c Hamas\u2019\u2063 crimes with talks about Israel\u2019s treatment of Arabs \u2014 despite the\u2062 fact that 20% of Israel\u2019s\u2064 population is Arab,\u200b and that\u2063 any Jew who \u200bwanders into Gaza or Jenin will be summarily murdered.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s why \u200bwe see idiots \u2064or moral perverts pointing to civilian casualties in\u200c Gaza \u2062and murdered\u200d civilians in Israeli villages \u2062and\u2064 pretending that their causes of death are somehow\u2064 equivalent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For Israel\u2019s enemies \u2014\u200b and for Hamas\u2019 most ardent advocates \u2014 everything is\u200d projection.\u200c And the press are certainly \u2064Israel\u2019s enemies. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Which is why they\u2019ll hire supposed journalists \u2063who \u2063work\u200c directly with Hamas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CLICK \u200cHERE\u200d TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> \u2062 How can journalistic outlets like the Associated Press and Reuters ensure that their reporters are not affiliated with or sympathetic to \u200cterrorist \u200corganizations like Hamas<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Ility, I\u200d would argue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The role of journalists is to \u200cseek and report the truth, to provide unbiased and accurate\u200d information to the public. However, in \u2064the case of Gaza, many journalists have become complicit in spreading \u2064Hamas\u2019 propaganda.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hamas, recognized as a terrorist organization by many countries, including the United \u2064States and the European Union, has a long history \u200dof using\u200b media manipulation as a tool to further its agenda. By \u2064placing their operatives within the \u200dranks of journalists, Hamas ensures that their version of events is presented to the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The presence of Hamas sympathizers and operatives within the media in \u200bGaza was exposed during the October 7 massacre, where journalists working for reputable wire services were found to have\u2063 coordinated with Hamas. This\u200c raises serious questions about the objectivity and integrity of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/douglas-mackinnon-has-the-u-s-u-k-e-u-and-nato-objective-in-ukraine-evolved\/\" title=\"Douglas MacKinnon: Has the U.S., U.K., E.U., AND NATO Objective in Ukraine Evolved?\">reporting coming<\/a> out \u2062of Gaza.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It \u2064is not uncommon for\u2064 journalists in Gaza to face intimidation and threats\u200b from Hamas if they attempt to report anything that goes against the narrative that \u2062Hamas wants to promote. Journalists have had their equipment confiscated, and some have been physically attacked for trying to capture \u200cthe \u200ctruth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the face of such dire circumstances, it is understandable that journalists may feel\u2062 compelled to go along\u2064 with Hamas\u2019 propaganda \u2062machine in order to protect themselves and their families. However, this compromise comes at\u200b the cost of journalistic integrity and the truth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Journalistic outlets such as the Associated Press and Reuters must take responsibility for the oversight and\u2064 vetting of \u200dtheir stringers and local reporters. They must ensure that those \u2062they employ are not affiliated with or sympathetic to terrorist organizations like Hamas. \u2062By failing to do so, they risk tarnishing their own reputation and becoming conduits\u2064 for Hamas\u2019 deceitful narrative<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hamas\u2019 friends in the press have hit upon a new strategy: they are now claiming that Israel is targeting journalists.
