As @nytimes continues to come under fire for anti-Palestinian bias, Adam Rasgon is joining their Jerusalem bureau. Only days after Israel killed Al Jazeera’s Wael Al Dahdouh’s wife and children, Rasgon co-wrote a @NewYorker piece smearing Wael’s journalism as “Hamas propaganda.”

That article was one of the lowest points for western journalism since Oct. 7 and that’s saying a lot. While Israel was caught repeatedly lying to the media, Rasgon and his co author chose to smear a Palestinian journalist risking his life daily whose family was brutally killed.

Here’s an important thread by @SanaSaeed about that atrocious article

This seems like a big deal and I ask if it goes against the @nytimes policies. As @zei_squirrel found, one of the authors of the “mass rape” story, Anat Schwartz, apparently liked posts saying Gaza should be turned into a “slaughterhouse.” Anat has reported on Palestinians.

And as @RBrulin points out, the post that the @nytimes Anat Schwartz liked was mentioned in South Africa’s application to the ICJ as an example of intent to commit genocide

@RBrulin @nytimes Anat Schwartz seems to have had little to no journalism experience before reporting for @nytimes. She calls herself a “storyteller.” Very concerning to assign a high stakes investigation to someone with very little journalism experience and apparent disregard for Palestinian life

This is Dr. Khaled Al Serr. He’s a general surgery specialist at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza. After more than 20 days under siege by Israeli forces, there have been reports that soldiers abducted him and 8 other doctors. He hasn’t been heard from for more than 34 hours.

This is the last video that Khaled is believed to have shared from Nasser hospital. He discusses how an ICU patient died after the electricity cut out after the Israeli occupation forces invaded the hospital.

According to @HCWWatch, 10 doctors and nurses released from Israeli detention have testified that they were subjected to torture and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment.

The Israeli military is currently besieging Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis in southern Gaza. Displaced people sheltering in the hospital, doctors, medical staff and journalists are in 'extreme danger.' The U.S. could tell Israel to end its siege on this hospital if it wanted to.

Earlier today, a young man that Israel had kidnapped, Jamal Abu Al-Ola, who was handcuffed, allegedly beaten and dressed in PPE garments was sent to the hospital to relay a warning to everyone to leave. When he left the hospital to return to the military, a solider shot him.

I'm watching an Instagram live with journalist Mohammad Al-Helo. He said the situation is so dangerous that anyone who looks out the window can and will be instantly killed by snipers or quadcopters. He said it will be a "miracle" if he makes it through the night.

Muslim and Arab American community members and leaders I’ve spoken with overwhelmingly have said that they have no illusions about what a second Trump administration would mean for them. But that there’s no way they could give Joe Biden their votes after the mass killing in Gaza.

The Biden campaign is in clear denial about this reality. While they may take these communities for granted, they make up significant numbers in key states in a close election where just a few thousand votes can affect the outcome.

I’ve heard the Biden campaign is counting on 1) people forgetting by November and 2) people voting for Biden in fear of Trump. But the longer this goes on, the less likely it is they’ll forget, 25,000 dead is a horrifyingly large number and genocide is the worst case scenario.

During a genocide mostly killing women and children, Jill wrote 1 piece no one read about Palestinian women and has gone on and on about unsubstantiated mass rape allegations that have been made in the same vein as the debunked beheaded babies claim to justify the mass killing.

Stop shaming people who don’t believe Israel when Israel has been caught lying time and again and has every incentive to lie as it continues to kill Palestinians by the thousands with impunity.

Katha Pollitt writes definitively that Hamas raped women and girls and that “there is eyewitness testimony.” Her evidence? The Physicians for Human Rights Israel report. But in an interview with the New Yorker one of the co authors says “We haven’t interviewed actual witnesses.”
