MSM Accused Of Advanced Knowledge Of Terror Attack

The Israeli government has claimed that freelance photographers for major news outlets like The New York Times are “accomplices” to Hamas’s murder and kidnapping of Israeli troops and civilians.

The government has jumped on a study by the media watchdog Honest Reporting that claims The Times and other news outlets are biased against Israel in their reporting on the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. Six photographers located in Gaza documented the October 7 Hamas incursion into Israel for the Associated Press and Reuters, and the monitoring group questioned their motivations.

According to the news account, one of the photographers, identified as Hassan Eslaiah, snapped photos of a burning home in Kibbutz Kfar Azza, the site of the tragic incident. The Times called the accusations that it had been warned about the assaults in advance or that its reporters had accompanied Hamas terrorists “untrue and obscene.”

As reported by the Times on October 7, “he was doing what photojournalists normally do during major news events, chronicling the catastrophe as it unfolded,” according to Masoud’s AP work.
