Israel conducted multiple airstrikes in the Gaza Strip to stop Hamas terrorists from firing missiles at the Jewish state. Iran-backed terror groups, including Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, fired thousands of rockets at Israel this week. Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel\u2019s defensive actions will continue until the terror groups are eradicated.<\/p>\n<p>The ongoing violence has incensed anti-Semites and anti-Israel activists online, including the country\u2019s detractors in Congress, like Reps. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.). They have accused Israel of terrorism but have not condemned Hamas for its actions.<\/p>\n<p>The news network&#8217;s decision to cut ties with the Nazi admirer was not covered by CNN reporters Brian Stelter and Oliver Darcy in their Monday newsletter on the media.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Media Adeel Raja contributed to CNN for seven years after tweeting &#8216;Hail Hitler&#8217;  AP  Adam Kredo \u2022 May 17, 2021 11:06 am CNN &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2278299,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Hitler-540x348-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"CNN Cuts Ties With Writer Who Praised Hitler for Years","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-517571","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Hitler-540x348-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"CNN Cuts Ties With Writer Who Praised Hitler for Years","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/517571","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=517571"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/517571\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2278299"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=517571"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=517571"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=517571"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
