“New York Times Reporters Act As Hamas Stenographers, Forget to Omit ‘Israeli Occupation Forces,’” by Tamar Sternthal, HonestReporting, December 20, 2023:
The masks slipped for New York Times reporters-cum-Hamas stenographers Raja Abdulrahim and Iyad Ibuheweila this week when they absently neglected to tone down Hamas’ preferred language before passing off the terror organization’s talking points as original reporting.

Israel “invaded” looking for kidnapped women, children and other missing people in 2023 . Hamas has been firing missiles out of the Gaza into Israel for about 18 years before the Oct 7 2023 act of terrorist ..
