How many others are there?
The media is blasting out its latest mass propaganda story.
American beaten to death by Israeli settlers in the West Bank – NBC News
Palestinian American from Florida killed in the West Bank – Washington Post
Palestinian-American from Tampa beaten to death in West Bank – CBS News
Every portal is pushing this through their feed to ensure millions of people see it. But there’s a missing detail to this story. (Even apart from the media choosing to frame its story based on the accounts of the Muslim men who began throwing rocks at Israelis.)
Can you guess what it is? It’s the same detail left out every time the media reports on “X killed by Israel” where X is an Al Jazeera “journalist,” “aid worker” or 23-year-old “child.”
Saif al-Din Kamel Moslat, the Muslim man in question, who died during clashes with local Jewish residents, has a Hamas poster with his name on it.
The poster describes him as a ‘Mujahid” or “Jihadi.”
The more worrying thing here is that a U.S. citizen appears to have been named a ‘martyr’ by Hamas. How many others are there?

I saw a headline yesterday about “an American beaten to death in the West Bank,” but I didn’t read it.
One cannot trust the media…as Mr. Netanyahu said to Mr. Levin…because they lie.
Florida will not miss the mo ghoul. Perhaps he should have kept out of Israel.

Saw the same thing yesterday, somehistory. Yes, the media reported that an American was killed by “Israeli settlers” in the West Bank (which should properly be called Judea and Samaria and which territory I wish Israel had just formally annexed right after the Six-Day War in 1967, replete with expulsions of many just as the Czechs did in the Sudetenland area right after WWII).
Nothing more. Left at that. How dishonest. But oh so typical and predictable.
If only in the West there was a media which ruthlessly pursued the truth no matter where it would take it. But we don’t have that. No, not even close, whether in America, Canada, Australia, the UK, et al.. Damn.

“Charter Signed By Hundreds Of Muslim Scholars Supports Hamas’ October 7 Attack On Israel: It Was Jihad Against The Infidels; Israel Has No Right To Exist And Agreements With It Lack Religious Validity; Calling On Hamas To Disarm Is Treason Against Allah

Media Claims Israelis Killed ‘US Citizen,’ Fails to Report He Was Hamas
……………………………….
I had some creep on Quora–where I sometimes comment–describe this thug as a “Gazan child”. I thought that he was 20–but it seems that he was even older. The whole story felt wrong to me–now I know why.

Yeah, this deification of American citizens has to end. There are plenty of American citizens (and citizens of all countries) who are absolute thugs & creeps, and are not worth supporting at all. The idea that if somebody killed abroad is an US citizen, his killing is a crime against humanity has to end: the context in which he was killed matters. There is a difference b/w if he was an innocent tourist in a country minding his own business vs if he was a participant in, say, a riot
That’s why years ago, when Obama droned Anwar al-Awlaki, I cheered, and didn’t join the mindless Republican “constitutionalists” who claimed that al-Awlaki deserved “due process”. Traitors are no different from enemy combatants, and there is no reason why they need to be treated w/ kit gloves. Similarly for the deaths of Rachel Corrie and other pro-Hamas thugs: I don’t care which country’s passport they have at the time of their deaths

Here are some inconclusive videos of is purported to be the men attacking the settlers, not the other way around – https://watchpeopledie.tv/h/sandshit/post/349985/palestinian-terrorist-from-the-united-states
Last Friday afternoon, dozens of terrorists and Arab rioters attacked a small group of Jewish shepherds with stones and slingshots near the settlement of Ateret in the Binyamin region. They burned and destroyed equipment and a Tanakh (Bible) and injured two of the shepherds. The Arabs were accompanied by well-known far-left anarchist activists.
The attack was pre-planned by local Arabs. This was even reported by the Arab news agency Wafa, which stated that the rioters’ goal was, in their words, to “storm the area to remove an outpost.” The Jews called for security forces, who arrived immediately and pushed back the rioters, who also attacked the forces in the open terrain along the hillside.
Upon the arrival of the forces, a gas balloon exploded near them, placed by the Arab rioters inside a bonfire they had lit. There were no casualties from the explosion. Simultaneously, in response to the terrorist and rioter attack, Jewish activists were called to the area, leading to friction between them and the rioters, who continued throwing stones.
Hours after the incident ended, the Arabs reported two fatalities, claiming that two Arabs were killed during the events. Hamas issued statements of mourning and incitement, calling the deceased “martyr fighters.” As of the end of Shabbat, the Arabs refuse to hand over the bodies to Israeli authorities for examination, nor have they provided any physical evidence regarding the alleged circumstances of death.
Throughout the day, Arab incitement, led by Hamas and Palestinian Authority organizations, has continued, spreading a blood libel against the settlers as if it was an incident where Jews rioted and killed Arabs, even though it is undisputed that this was a premeditated terrorist attack by local Arabs.
Additionally, Arabs claim that Jews beat the “American” Palestinian terrorist to death although footage shows that at no point in time did the two groups ever come into such close contact with eachother, it appears that the IDF opened fire as the animal was attempting to murder innocent people.
The terrorist, Saif al-Din Kamel Maslat, came to “Palestine” from the United States to participate in these riots and was mourned by Hamas as a “Mujahid.” Palestinians are now whining online that Israel killed a poor American man senselessly for no reason at all.
He was born in Florida, and his American family were those who put out the false claim that he was “beaten to death” while also praising the fact that he was trying to kill Israelis and reached the find out phase: “He was brutally beaten to death while defending his family’s land (people who have nothing to do with Palestine at all lmao) from settlers who were trying to steal it”
The other is Mohammed Rizq Hassan Shalabi from the town of Al-Mazra’a Al-Sharqiya

It appears to be a combination of the media being on the left and wanting to be the first to break a news story, to the point they don’t check out the details. Either one of which is dam unfair to the public.

Thank you for exposing who this “victim” really was. This is not reported by any major ( or minor) news American news source as far as I know. It never ends, the lying, the distortion, the withholding evidence or just the refusal for news services to investigate who is being held as an innocent victim and finding out that he is not as innocent as reported.
