@nypost Incredible. NY Post made the *same exact writer* produce both a credulous write-up of CNN’s propaganda and an article exposing it four days later. They even used the same exact thumbnail photo for both stories!

CNN has finally addressed the scandal surrounding Clarissa Ward's staged prison propaganda piece, announcing an investigation centered on its impostor subject

Yet the network continues to protect the correspondent responsible for the entire fraud, insisting on her innocence

[Wyatt Reed @wyattreed13]

CNN’s Clarissa Ward tried to present herself as the liberator of an oppressed Syrian political prisoner.

It now appears she was actually an accomplice in the escape of a widely-hated Assad gov’t intelligence officer imprisoned for corruption.

@nypost You fell hook, line, and sinker for CNN’s hoax prison rescue four days ago and haven’t even retracted the article.

Oopsie. A @nytimes reporter accidentally cc’d an email to @intifada revealing how the newspaper killed an investigation that would have exposed the truth about the violence in Amsterdam: It was Israeli hooligans who started a violent rampage https://t.co/BphrtxbiOx

The man in charge of protecting NYT’s fake-pogrom story “senior Times manager Charlie Stadtlander –a former senior press officer for the US National Security Agency and for the US army.”
There are no conflicts-of-interest. It’s just them against everyone. https://t.co/ihfeh3BB8w

@Discovery_SA hosting a Health Summit with Israeli health care providers while Israel destroys Gaza hospitals is tone deaf and unconscionable. Despite CSO protests Summit will proceed on 19 Nov in Cape Town. @BDSmovement @HealthJusticeIn @Follow_SALC @DIRCO_ZA @dailymaverick

This staggering graph just published by the United Nations shows the ages of people killed by Israel in Gaza.

The base of this "pyramid" of death are babies and toddlers.

This is not a war, it is a massacre of innocents.

[Dan Sheehan @danpjsheehan]

I think about this all the time.

Arab men so doused with suspicion by a constitutionally racist entity that people feel like they can’t mention, let alone condemn, their mass extermination.

Innocent men whose bravery, grief, humanity are ignored and erased.

If this was done because he was Jewish, it would be lead story for Dana Bash & Jake Tapper, and part of CNN series on The Rise of Anti-Semitism in America. Islamophobia? Not so much.

[Sana Saeed @SanaSaeed]

Over 100 BBC staff call out the broadcaster for its pro-Israel bias in coverage of the genocide in Gaza, in a letter sent to BBC director general Tim Davie.

About 250 members of the media industry publicly signed the letter - myself included.

“Oh God, I didn’t recognize her. Oh God, Mom, no, I didn’t recognize you. Oh God, Mom, my beloved. My God, I can’t bear this. My father, my brothers, and now you—by God, I can’t bear it. I swear I can’t bear this. Am I never going to see you again?!”

💔These were the words of Palestine Red Crescent volunteer medic Abdulaziz Al-Bardini as he broke down in tears upon discovering that his mother was among the victims of the attack on Al-Maghazi camp in Deir al-Balah, central #Gaza. While Abdulaziz was focused on stopping the bleeding of a critically injured child inside the ambulance, his colleague was tending to a woman wrapped in a white blanket. When they reached the hospital and transferred her to the intensive care unit, the doctors informed them that she had passed away. Abdulaziz lifted the cover from her face, only to be shocked to find it was his #mother.

⭕️The pain and heartbreak endured by our EMTs and volunteers are beyond words. Despite losing loved ones and family members, they remain steadfast in their commitment to #humanitarian duty.

My fellow Americans,

This is Hadi Jaber. He was a Hezbollah soldier. He was killed last week by Israeli occupiers in south Lebanon.

This heroic man defended our churches against the American backed terrorists in Syria. As you can see in the photo on the right, he is lighting a candle in commemoration of our beloved Virgin Mary, in the Christian town of Maaloula.

Do not believe what your government says, I am a Christian✝️ from the Middle East and Hezbollah’s men died defending our churches. Hezbollah are heroes defending us, the Israelis that your government is backing are the real criminals.

[Nick Hedley @nickhedley]

The African Union should send election observers and peacekeepers to this unstable democracy 😉

“I don’t give a fuck about Gaza, your dad’s a bitch,” screams a Democrat supporter.. to a baby’s face!

This is how deranged the liberals have become in the US.

And these harebrained bigots think they are the “good guys” fighting fascism. Scum.
