Report: Photographers From AP, CNN, NYT, Reuters Were With Hamas on Oct. 7

“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?”

Honest Reporting claims that Gaza-based photographers with major MSM outlets were with Hamas on October 7th.

Valid questions:

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.

Hassan Eslaiah appeared in an AP photo that showed Hamas invading Kibbutz Kfar Azza.

Ali Mahmud got a picture of a truck with the body of German-Israeli Shani Louk.

Hatem Ali took a picture of a bunch of Hamas terrorists kidnapping an Israeli civilian. In another picture, Ali showed Hamas with an Israeli civilian covered in a white sheet on a golf cart.

Their names no longer appear on the photos in the AP database.

Reuters photographer took a picture of Hamas terrorists carrying and “brutalizing the body of an Israeli soldier who was dragged out of the tank.”

They blurred out the body of the soldier.

If they were there, had advanced knowledge, they should be subject to the treatment as Hamas.

    Indeed they should.

    scooterjay in reply to JohnSmith100. | November 8, 2023 at 3:53 pm

    Give them the Mussolini reception.

    ConradCA in reply to JohnSmith100. | November 8, 2023 at 7:39 pm

    It doesn’t matter if they knew ahead of time. What’s important is that they participated in the slaughter of innocents by creating propaganda from it. They should be charged with crimes and the news organizations they worked for should at least be civically liable for this crime.

      ConradCA in reply to ConradCA. | November 9, 2023 at 3:53 am

      Hamas wanted to reap the maximum propaganda benefit from butchering Jews so they had representatives of these “news” organizations record the slaughter. Those who recorded this evil were an integral part of it and are just as guilty as those who committed the atrocities.

        ConradCA in reply to ConradCA. | November 9, 2023 at 3:55 am

        Israel and the USA should try the terrorists, those who recorded the atrocities and the news organizations they worked with terrorism.

    The one reporter I saw with the hand grenade clearly IS Hamas.

    Anyone who believes that the worldwide “media” and journalism in general does not engage in left wing propaganda is a moron.

    Perhaps we should treat “media” and journaliars the same as we treat the 2nd Amendment. They should all be required to take proper training on the Constitution, and pass tests. Then they need to have a “carry permit.”

    If they lie or engage in obfuscation, then their license will be revoked.

    If they are a danger to society, whereby they are aware of an impending attack from one nation to another, but fail to report it, then they should be complicit and under red flag laws, be forbidden to ever carry a pen or typewriter again.

    Of course, keeping in mind that their tools of the trade should be limited to those available in 1776.

All the “news” services employ Hamas agents as “stringers”, and have for decades.

Would be a crying shame if these ‘reporters’ got their heads blown off in the process of getting their ‘coverage.’

Of course they were. The enticement of a small nibble off the pallets of cash made sure they were in place to record not the Hamas attack but to Pallywood the response.
Reprobates had advanced knowledge. We are past 2A and need to defer to E=MC²

Blaise MacLean | November 8, 2023 at 3:54 pm

A number of questions arise:
1. Will this be the subject of investigation?
2. If it’s true, what sophistry will be employed by the MSM to defend this in general and, specifically not warning the prospective victims?
3. What about BBC? We’re their “journalists’ a part of this?
4. Does this add another reason for the call for a ceasefire…get cover for reporters? Also, does the UN want a ceasefire to prevent the IDF from discovering Hamas facilities in the UN schools?

Ok, so this is a big problem for the media.

If they had people embedded with Hamas and KNEW that Hamas was going in to Israel to kill Jews then they are no longer media but combatants.

Also, they should be forced to hand over all footage they took on the 7th of October and the. That footage should be used to identify every single person involved with murdering and raping men, women and children…and then the media organisations need to be dealt to severely.

    JohnSmith100 in reply to mailman. | November 8, 2023 at 6:38 pm

    Could media be charged as accessories to genocide? That would really be interesting.

    healthguyfsu in reply to mailman. | November 9, 2023 at 9:10 am

    You say should be forced to hand over all footage as if they aren’t capable of just hiding or destroying anything they don’t want to turn over.

    These are not government employees and some aren’t even US citizens. They won’t give a crap about law.

They should all be targeted and assassinated … slowly.

Any journalists who are around hamas are fair game and should be prioritized in targeting. They are the worst sort of scum.

I am shocked, shocked to find.such impropriety in mainstream journalism!

This is not really surprising. It has been pretty closely held info before now if not actually ‘secret’. More of an open secret that most media prefer to ignore. If there’s additional info to more conclusively connect the dots several media entities gonna have some ‘splainin to do. Not just in overseas bureaus either.

    ChrisPeters in reply to CommoChief. | November 8, 2023 at 4:21 pm

    There WAS a time when this really would have been a shocking revelation, but now that I think of it, in this day and age, with the corrupt, Left-leaning media destroying the integrity of the journalistic profession every hour of every day, this news was to be EXPECTED.

    Here’s your winnings, Capt Renault.

Steven Brizel | November 8, 2023 at 4:24 pm

The only so called “news” that one hears from Gaza under Hamas is what Hamas approves-don’t be shocked if these so called journalists were on the Hamas payroll

AP “journalists” who entered Israel on Oct 7th together with the Palestinian terrorists:

Hassan Eslaiah
Yousef Masoud
Ali Mahmud
Hatem Ali

Forward these names to:

Israel’s newly created unit within Massad with a mandate to hunt down Hamas who murdered civilians on Oct 7th

This isn’t really surprising. There’s a reason AP has been labeled “Associated (with terrorists) Press” for at least a dozen years.

Last time we had a big controversy over this, they called them “stringers.” The AP feels its reporters wouldn’t be safe in a war zone (which it was last time this was a really big deal), so they hired locals – who all happen to be Palestinian, of course. And are entirely on the side of the terrorists.

Remember the boy being “shielded” by the Palestinian man behind a barrel or something? And it turns out the claim of what it portrayed was entirely wrong? And the pics of Israel bombing somewhere in Lebanon, where the smoke from the explosions was (obviously) photoshopped in multiple times? And, of course, all the “dead baby” pics using the same corpse (that one never gets old, apparently)? Those are just off the top of my head.

So, of course, these Palestinian terrorist propagandists were with Hamas (and the Palestinian civilians) who committed atrocities on 7 October. It’s the Spanish Inquisition; you should expect it.

What a sick world

Just a variation on the theme of alerting the press before doing pre-dawn no-knock raids and arrests of enemies of the state.

Certainly these photographers (and I have to assume some reporters were in the mix too) knew about the impending attack, and took part in it. However, their photographs hardly show Hamas in a good light. Hamas raiders look like murderers who torture their victims before and after death … and they seem to have a perverted sexual interest in their captives. Is it possible that Arab audiences actually see brave warriors fighting for their people? Maybe. They do interbreed a lot. But my point remains that these photographs do not do Hamas any favors.

Does make one wonder, though, how everyone in Gaza knew something was up, and yet the CIA, with all its satellite surveillance, was caught completely by surprise. Me, I’m not buying that.

    Is it possible that Arab audiences actually see brave warriors fighting for their people?

    Yes, they do. Absolutely. You saw how the civilian population in the strip reacted.

If true, that’s more than a little effed up. I guess there’s no point in having hope that any of these outfits contain or could conduct themselves as if they were decent human beings.

Paul In Sweden | November 9, 2023 at 12:24 am

It is Pallywood and we have seen it time and time again. Foreign MSM may not have known the details but they knew when and where to show up and know to follow stage directions as to where to stand and setup the cameras.
-Mr EntryReqrd

Disgusting scumbags!!!!!! Perhaps, they should be charged as accomplices as they did nothing to stop the kidnappings. Further, it could be argued they made matters worse as the terrorists played matters up for the press.

I would treat them as terrorists and condemn them to death. If they had advance warning of the attack and said nothing then they are terrorists. I would also treat cnn, Reuters, NYT, and anyone else caught up in this horrible act as accessories.

Report: Photographers From AP, CNN, NYT, Reuters Were With Hamas on Oct. 7

This had the hallmarks of disinformation. The source was so-called HonestReporting. They now say they never had any evidence to support the claim, and that they accept that the media companies did not have advance warning of the attacks. They even deny that they are a “news organization.” Apparently, they are of the Tucker Carlson school of reporting, you know, just asking questions.

Meanwhile, the journalists have been subject to death threats, including by Israeli officials.
