As The BFD reported recently, it was revealed that several photographers for the mainstream media were suspiciously on the spot for Hamas’ October 7 atrocities. In fact, it is alleged that the photographers, on the payroll of major news organisations such as AP and CNN, were embedded with Hamas terrorist cells.
Which is to say, they knew in advance what was going to happen, and not only stood by and watched while Hamas slaughtered and abducted innocents, they did nothing to prevent it. Not even a surreptitious text message to Israeli authorities.
Palestinian journalists just keep on covering themselves in glory.
A Palestinian journalist working for NBC News was reportedly arrested by Israeli authorities Thursday “on suspicion of inciting terrorism and identifying with a terrorist organization.”
The Jerusalem Post reported Saturday that Marwat Al-Azza, a freelance producer living in East Jerusalem, was taken into custody in response to her social media posts about the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas.
“These are very serious offenses during a time of declared war when the respondent lives and makes a living in the same country that is under attack and yet chooses to incite and glorify the horrible acts committed against civilians,” a police spokesperson stated in court, per The Post.
Just another one of those lovely “Palestinian civilians” we’re all supposed to be “standing with”.
The paper reported that Al-Azza was cooperating with authorities during her arrest and she admitted the posts were accurately attributed to her.
Posts that gleefully celebrated Hamas’ atrocities.
According to Haaretz, on Oct. 7 Al-Azza wrote on Facebook about an elderly woman who was kidnapped, “It’s killing me, it’s a black comedy, the old woman looks happy, a bit of action before she dies.”
Yes, because raping Israeli grandmothers is just so hilarious.
She also reportedly posted: “Sirens all the time, the Jews are hiding and the Arabs are out drinking coffee on their balconies,” and “I feel like I’m watching a movie where the director is Palestinian and the protagonists are from Gaza.”
Like so many other Palestinians, Al-Azza celebrates Jewish babies being beheaded, and Jewish women being pack-raped and murdered.
Remind me, again, why we’re supposed to “stand with” them?
Of course, the mainstream media are frantically trying to cover their arses, as yet another of their journalists is exposed as a genocidal anti-Semite.
An NBC News spokesperson told Fox News Digital, “The investigation of Ms. Azza is unrelated to NBC News. It is based on her personal Facebook posts that predate her time with us as a freelancer. We were not aware of those posts before we engaged Ms. Azza four weeks ago. She will not be contributing to our coverage going forward.”
The journalist was hired as a freelance producer by NBC News “around Oct. 21,” according to a person familiar with the situation, adding that her work for NBC News “did not uncover any issues.”
Fox News
Scrolling back two weeks through someone’s Facebook profile is just beyond the capabilities of the serious, investigative journalists at NBC.
I mean, it’s not as if the mainstream media haven’t been busily doxxing anyone they don’t like.
