MSNBC chose a hell of a guy to platform as a paragon of virtue and journalistic integrity.

Spoiler alert: He hates Jews, hangs out with Hamas officials, and glorifies Palestinian "resistance" ๐Ÿงต Image
Meet Mohammed Rafik Mhawish, a journalist from Gaza who contributes to several progressive outlets like The Nation and MSNBC, as well as Islamist and terror-supporting outlets like Al Jazeera, which he wrote for between October 2023 and May 2024 Image
Here he is with Hamas official Basem Naim Image
And here he is glorifying now-dead Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh Image
Mohammed also supports Palestinian "resistance," a thinly veiled euphemism for terrorism Image
In this very MSBNC piece, he admits to being buddy buddy with Ismail al-Ghoul, a Hamas Nukhba terrorist who took part in the October 7th massacre. Image
Unsurprisingly, given his love of terrorists, Mohammed also equates Zionismโ€”the belief in the Jewish right to self-determination in their ancestral homelandโ€”as Nazism.

But don't worry, he's "just anti-Zionist." Image

The great @KassyAkiva digs into some of the terror tied, antisemitic speakers at @GUQatar's conference this weekend.

Let's break them down ๐Ÿงต Image
You already know Wadah Khanfar, the former Al Jazeera Director General and apparent Hamas bigwig. But in case you need a refresher โฌ‡๏ธ

Another guest is Shawan Jabarin, a former senior member of the PFLP who was convicted of recruiting and training members for the group in 1985. Jabarin also leads Al Haq, a Palestinian NGO that Israel designated as a terrorist organization for its ties to the PFLP

This past week, hedge fund manager Joseph Edelman resigned from Brown Universityโ€™s board of trustees over the institution's handling of antisemitism.

So with Brown's antisemitism once again in the headlines, I thought Iโ€™d take the opportunity to introduce you to its new director of the Center for Middle East Studies, Elias Muhanna.

During the height of the Israel-Hamas War in 2014โ€”instigated after Hamas terrorists kidnapped three Israeli teenage hitchhikersโ€”wrote what can only be described as a masterclass in Hamas apologia

This is Elias

Elias has no problem with students trespassing as long as it's for anti-Israel purposes, seems to think that Israel has turned Gaza into an "assassination factory," and likes to tout his BDS bona fides

๐Ÿงต Anyone who doesn't believe that Gazan "journalist" Amr Abu Ridah is a PFLP operative โ€” despite his own admission โ€” is welcome to look at his Telegram channel, which is literally filled to the brim with PFLP propaganda and murderous incitement
Image
The Telegram channel contains nearly 28k photos and 16k videos, so I can't comb through all of it.

But I imagine there's a photo or two of him engaging in terror activities or in PFLP uniform.

I won't show you most of his gleeful posts on October 7th, but here's just a taste Image
The entire channel โ€” really the entire channel โ€” is incitement to terror, mostly from the PFLP (at least pre-October 7th)

๐ŸšจHUGE๐Ÿšจ: Georgetown Qatar to Host Hamas Member

In two weeks, @GUQatar โ€“ a branch of Americaโ€™s top school for diplomacy โ€“ is hosting a conference titled "Reimagining Palestine."

Among the antisemitic and terror-supporting speakers is one name I hadn't seen before: Wadah KhanfarImage
This is Wadah Khanfar, photographed in Gaza circa 2013.

But who is he exactly? Well, "officially," he was a board member and Director General of Al Jazeera, the Qatari government-controlled media empire, between 2006-2011. Image
However, according to numerous Arabic-language news outlets, Khanfar is not just a renowned figure in the Arabic media landscape, but a senior member of the Hamas terrorist organization and part of the Muslim Brotherhood.

For example, the Palestinian Raya Media Network writes that Khanfar:

๐Ÿ”ธโ€œWas active in the Hamas movement and was one of its most prominent leaders in the movement's office in Sudanโ€

๐Ÿ”ธโ€œIs considered one of the senior political leaders of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas). He held the position of Head of Hamas' Political Office for (South and North Africa) in the South African city of Johannesburg, where he operated under the name 'The African Middle East Center for Studies and Research.'"

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 โ€” like this one๐Ÿงต Image
Translation of the above โฌ†๏ธ

"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.

Although Emmy-nominated Bisan Owdaโ€™s PFLP ties donโ€™t concern pro-Palestinian supporters, many were upset at her for promoting conspiracy theories against the polio vaccine.

Gazan influencer Nour Alsaqa shared a particularly spicy video condemning Bisan
Here's Nour's sister, whom she references, commenting on Bisan's initial anti-polio vaccine video

As well as a follow-up video in which Nour calls Bisan out for exploiting the suffering of Gazans for personal gain

Here's Bisan's response to the Gazan surgeon: Image
