Media ignored Hamas' new manifesto glorifying Oct. 7 as a planned âgloriousâ attack, therefore failing to expose its ideology and lies.
And yet, there will still be chuckleheads claiming that the IDF did 10/7 or claiming that Hamas isnât constantly saying that theyâre gonna do it again
Rebutted: UN Inquiry Report Falsely Accuses Israel of "Genocide"
honestreporting: This week, the @unitednations Commission of Inquiry dropped a 72-page report accusing Israel of âgenocideâ in Gaza.
The headlines went viral. The report itself?...Didn't.
Stacked with biased commissioners, cherry-picked quotes, Hamas-supplied data, omissions of tunnels and hostages, and even fabricated stories, itâs a sham dressed up in UN language.
Donât be fooled by the UNâs stamp of approval. It's a war; not a genocide.

New Blow to New York Times Gaza Rape Report: Key Source Gets Caught Quietly Removing Terroristsâ Names from List of Slain âPalestinian Journalistsâ
Nicholas Kristof, the author of the Times piece, leans heavily on statistics and claims by the Committee to Protect Journalists, a left-wing group facing serious challenges to its credibility

The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ)âwhose claims about detained Palestinian journalists being sexually assaulted by Israeli troops were a linchpin of a lurid New York Times reportâhas been caught quietly removing terroristsâ names from its widely cited list of journalists killed in Gaza. This latest blow to the CPJâs credibility further undermines the Times piece, which at its most salacious featured two male "Gaza journalists" who claimed they were rapedâone by a carrot and the other by a dogâwhile in Israeli custody.
HonestReporting, an Israeli media watchdog, reports that in the weeks leading up to the publication of the Times piece on May 11, CPJ surreptitiously removed six names from its running list of "Journalist casualties" in the Gaza War.
The Times piece, by Nicholas Kristof, cites a report by CPJ alleging that "three percent" of 59 Palestinian "journalists" whoâd been detained by Israel since Oct. 7, 2023 "said they had been raped, and 29 percent said they had endured other forms of sexual violence." Itâs not known if CPJ connected Kristof with the two "Palestinian journalists"âone named and one anonymousâwho told the carrot and dog stories.
Kristof calls CPJ "a respected American organization" but does not mention that it has faced persistent accusations of bias for repeatedly including known terrorists on its list of slain journalists. The group previously acknowledged removing at least 10 names of Palestinians in recent months after it became clear those individuals were not actually reporters (and in several cases, were members of or affiliated with various Gaza terror groups).
But the six names, removed from CPJâs list between March 29 and May 7, were quietly deleted without any contemporaneous acknowledgment of error from the organization, which claims to "use the tools of journalism to protect those engaged in acts of journalism." Each of those six names once touted by CPJ as working reporters were actually "terror combatants," according to HonestReportingâs review.

On October 7, 2023, Gazan photojournalist Hassan Eslaiah held a grenade in one hand and a camera in the other, documenting Hamasâ massacre inside Israel. His exposure by HonestReporting, which brought to light a cozy photo of Eslaiah and former Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, led to the end of his employment at CNN and Associated Press.
An HonestReporting investigation reveals that the two media companies are distributing the tainted content in collaboration with state-run Turkish agency Anadolu â an arrangement that seems to enable their profit without liability. Both companies have a global reach, with Reuters as one of the worldâs largest news agencies and U.S.-based Getty Images one of the worldâs largest image licensing companies.
Their databases also present images by Anadolu freelancers Ashraf Amra and Mohammed Fayq Abu Mostafa, who Reuters officially distanced itself from after HonestReportingâs investigative team exposed Amraâs close relations with former Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and his shared call with Abu Mostafa to invade Israel.
One of Abu Mostafaâs images, which is still for sale on the Reuters and Getty platforms, has, according to Anadolu, been used as evidence in the genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice.
HonestReporting has asked Getty Images and Reuters for comment.
Getty Images said they would reach out to Anadolu for more information, adding that âwe require that our content partners and contributors comply with our Editorial Policy.â Interestingly, this policy states that Getty Images can remove content that is in violation of the guidelines.

The latest Israel-Iran escalation did not begin in Tehran or Jerusalem. Months of Hezbollah ceasefire violations, renewed attacks on Israel, and the Islamic Republicâs backing of its proxy group paved the way for the current crisis. This has nothing to do with the defenseâŠ
