Sara Qudah, from the Committee to Protect Journalists, appeared on PBS to discuss the killing of journalist Ali Hassan Shaib by the IDF. Qudah claimed Israel had a practice of targeting journalists, and PBS' Nick Shifrin did nothing to challenge her, despite recent admissions by Palestinian Islamic Jihad that some "journalists" killed in Gaza were actually its operatives.
The BBC displays a troubling pattern of seeking to establish a narrative that supports its long-standing chosen framing of Israel’s responses to attacks by terrorists, while sidelining the issue of the abuse of the journalistic profession by groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah and legitimizing the media arms of terrorist organizations.
Palestinian Islamic Jihad reveals more of their operatives killed during the Israel-Hamas war were labeled "journalists." Volkswagen is in negotiations with Israeli defense firm Rafael to produce Iron Dome components in Germany. Two Israelis go viral for their dark humor, "begging" the Iranian regime not to bomb the Tel Aviv Central Bus Station.
If information backed up by publicly shared Hamas documents is "unsubstantiated," as The Los Angeles Times suggests, what could possibly constitute substantiation regarding "journalists" moonlighting as terrorists?
When writing about the airstrike that killed Hussam Shabat, New York Times reporters initially failed to note that the journalist was also alleged to be a Hamas-trained sniper. (AI-generated image for illustrative purposes.)
The Committee to Protect Journalists falsifies that Israeli journalists murdered by Hamas while sheltering at home or enjoying themselves at a dance party were killed by a "political party" while on "dangerous assignment."
The list of news correspondents who have met a tragic end has been inflated by Hamas and with unwitting accomplices from the West who regurgitated information provided to them without doing appropriate due diligence.
