The New York Times, ever faithful to its anti-Israel animus, credulously accepts the account of an alleged IDF “massacre” in Gaza put out by Hamas and its supporters. In doing so, it relies on “witnesses” who are anything but credible. “The evidence to the “massacre” that the @NYTimes believes,” Elder of Ziyon, March 1, 2024:
[Husam Abu Safiya] also accused the IDF of unleashing dogs in the hospital to attack doctors and patients, “They unleashed dogs on us to maul us.”
Strange that no one else has reported seeing dogs, that the IDF uses to sniff out explosives and Hamas operatives, roaming wild and attacking doctors and patients in Gazan hospitals, though reporters have been crawling all over those hospitals and not a single case of IDF dogs attacking medical personnel or patients has been reported. Could it be that Dr. Husam Abu Safiya is lying?
And only on Wednesday, he claimed that there was no electricity in the hospital and it was out of service. Yet photo and videos of the hospital treating the injured Thursday showed the lights on and it was obviously open, if chaotic.
The photos and videos that were posted by the hospital staff itself clearly shows that the lights were on on Thursday. Either the electricity miraculously came on a day later — presumably in the midst of all this chaos, electricians were called in and power was restored or, more likely, it was never off to begin with.
This hospital director is employed by and paid by Hamas. He will say what Hamas wants him to say. And the Western media knows this. They choose to report on only the accusations that sound credible, because they want to use him for stories like this one.
Abu Safiya is an employee of Hamas. He will say exactly as commanded by the terror group.. He wants, after all, not only to be paid, but even more, to stay alive. He dare not cross Hamas. And of course, he may also be a true believer, prepared to lie for the sake of the cause, that cause being the destruction of the Jewish state and its replacement by a twenty-third Arab one.
What about the other “journalist” who claims that “all” the casualties he had seen had bullet wounds?
Hussam Shabat is not a journalist. He doesn’t have a media outlet. He only has an Instagram an Facebook page and managed to get a “Press” jacket.
His report from Thursday shows injured or dead people on a donkey cart. No gunshot wounds are visible, and some certainly look like they were trampled.
If he is a journalist with a camera, why not show the evidence?…
Wouldn’t it have made sense for Shabat to back up his claim that every single one of the dead and wounded he says had been “shot“ by providing the ocular proof of photos or videos? But he provides neither, leading one to suspect that there were many whose visible wounds were consistent with being crushed in a stampede. The NYU fails to ask itself why Shabat didn’t provide a photo of those bodies piled high on that donkey cart.
Hussam Shabat, the non-journalist journalist, started a GoFundMe page; he’s already raised $75,000, in the first week, money that he claims will be used to help the poor Gazans. The money goes to him, with no auditing of anything, no other parties apparently involved to distribute the money. How much of that money do you think Hussam Shabat simply pockets for himself? Would you be surprised if it turned out to be all of it? No, I didn’t think you would be.
The New York Times relied on an Al Jazeera video that supposedly showed IDF soldiers spraying gunfire on Gazans. It showed no such thing. The gunfire was clearly aimed way over the heads of those Gazan crowds; they were meant as warning shots. And they worked, for most of the people who had been headed toward the IDF vehicles turned back. A few did not; they were met with live fire when it was clear nothing else would stop them. The IDF estimates that it may have killed fewer than ten people who had menacingly been approaching them. At no point does the New York Times report on the plausibility of Israel’s version of events.
How many errors of judgement will it take for the New York Times to admit it has been unfair to Israel in its coverage of the Jewish state and those who would destroy it, as shown – for a most recent example – by how it has reported on the murderous stampede in northern Gaza, and on so much more?

Lying by Palestinians is as common as people do breathing in and out.
Ray Jarman says
So true Rick and everyone reading this kind of trash from a sub-human moslem should remember that for them, War Is Deceit.

tim gallagher says
Complete degenerates, almost all of whom were thrilled about all those atrocities that the vermin from hamas committed, is what the Palestinians are and I wouldn’t believe anything they said about anything. They are people, like so many Muslims, who have no morality at all, (by any civilised standards) pathological liars every one of them.

Something those who have never read the Bible may not know: The writers, all Jews, all male, wrote about the victories of the Nation of Israel and they also wrote of the losses, the errors, the mistakes, the “sins” of omission and of disobedience.
The writers of the Bible wrote about rapes, murders, lies, deception, theft….committed by their enemies, and by their own people.
But today, only one side in this ongoing warfare for mozlums to take over and ruin mankind in total, is accepted as being true; when that side is, in fact, lying.
Greg says
Lying POS!
James Lincoln says
The fact that the New York Times uses Hamas as a “credible” new source – tells you everything you need to know about the New York Times.
OLD GUY says
Not much honor in the news business. Then again maybe we should investigate how much of our media is owned by foreign investors. Seems like a big mistake to me to allow foreign countries and individuals from countries who hate us and want to destroy us to invest in our Corporations and Higher Education systems or to purchase are land and property.
Who would write laws and policies that would allow the selling of your countries assets? The elites who when America crashes from their doings, will pick up and fly off in their private jets to their summer home in Antartica or Qatar or their Swiss bank. Leaving us poor working people to fight and clean up their mess, (after all we are the maids and gardeners), while they blame us for the problem.
