Last, but certainly not least in our series of @NPR journalists covering the Israel-Hamas War, is Abu Bakr Bashir.
His Facebook account shows him to be quite the jokester. But not all of the jokes land — like this one🧵

Translation of the above ⬆️
"He tricked him by saying: I will sell you the car for 100,000, with a down payment of 50,000, and monthly payments of 10,000. The buyer agreed, happy to have made a good deal, and when he was leaving, the seller said: And 500 for D."

Yes, it's his profile.
Bashir also says that Israeli soldiers don't deserve to live:
"15 martyrs and more than 1500 wounded. Among them, not a single Israeli soldier or a son of a Palestinian official! Those who do not deserve to die are dying, so that those who do not deserve to live may live."

Among his past employers is the Qatari state-affiliated Al Arby TV
But here's the craziest part: He is STILL reporting for Al Qahera News, an Egyptian state-affiliated media outlet.
It's crazy that NPR can employ someone who is simultaneously working for the state media of another country.
Is there no rule against that? If not, that's nuts
