A new report about the images that came out of the Oct. 7 terror attack by Hamas on innocent Israeli civilians is raising questions about the actions of photographers apparently employed by AP, CNN, Reuters and the New York Times.
The charge is that the photographers were “EMBEDDED” with the Hamas terrorists.
They “accompanied the terrorist group into Israel. They knew the attack was coming and participated in it.”
It is at Honest Reporting the details are spelled out.
“Hamas terrorists were not the only ones who documented the war crimes they had committed during their deadly rampage across southern Israel. Some of their atrocities were captured by Gaza-based photojournalists working for the Associated Press and Reuters news agencies whose early morning presence at the breached border area raises serious ethical questions,” it explained.
“What were they doing there so early on what would ordinarily have been a quiet Saturday morning? Was it coordinated with Hamas? Did the respectable wire services, which published their photos, approve of their presence inside enemy territory, together with the terrorist infiltrators? Did the photojournalists who freelance for other media, like CNN and The New York Times, notify these outlets? Judging from the pictures of lynching, kidnapping and storming of an Israeli kibbutz, it seems like the border has been breached not only physically, but also journalistically.”
The reporting reveals that four names appeared on AP’s photo credits at the time, including Hassan Eslaiah, Yousef Masoud, Ali Mahmud, and Hatem Ali.
The report said Eslaiah posted social media statements, later removed, showing himself standing at an Israeli tank, not wearing a press vest or helmet.
A report from Pam Geller, commentator and activist, said, “We need war tribunals to prosecute these war criminal news orgs. The names of the photographers, which appear on other sources, have been removed from some of the photos on AP’s database. Perhaps someone at the agency realized it posed serious questions regarding their journalistic ethics.”
One social media commenter said, of the positioning of the photographers alongside Hamas, “Yes, this is real.”
