By "C. Amanpour", I'm guessing they're talking about the "C. Amanpour" that Andrea Peyser referred to as the "CNN War Slut"...?

"Peyser nicknamed Christiane Amanpour the “CNN war slut,” prompting a complaint from Amanpour and a rare apology from Rupert Murdoch himself. Peyser was hardly cowed. Less than a year later, she was calling Amanpour a “Palestinian propagandist.”"

Geez Louise people...look at what Joe Scarborough is slinging around.

Here's my most recent Joe Scarborough favorite. One side is "treated" as honest journalism...the other as propaganda. I'll leave it to you to guess which is considered "honest" and goes unpunished.

"Scarborough: January 6 = Kristallnacht, Female Fox Hosts Played With 'Eva Braun' Barbies""

Speaking of Kristallnacht...our side has one foot in the cattle cars.

“War slut”...will use it.

Israel, Hamas and the Rules of War
Nov. 17, 2023.

To the Editor:

Re “What I Believe as a Historian of Genocide,” by Omer Bartov (Opinion guest essay, nytimes.com, Nov. 10):

Mr. Bartov, a Holocaust scholar, warns that Israel is very likely committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza that can devolve into genocide. To show “genocidal intent,” he cites furious Israeli statements made immediately after Oct. 7.

But these do not reflect actual Israeli policies toward civilians. Israel’s targets are military: Hamas’s soldiers, tunnels, headquarters and weapons stocks. By placing military targets in and under civilian structures, it is Hamas that violates laws of war.

The 1948 U.N. Genocide Convention mentions demonstrable intent to destroy a national, racial or religious group. Mr. Bartov is mute about Israel’s hundreds of phone calls to Gazans warning them to leave buildings in which Hamas fighters were located. Israel has urged civilians to evacuate to the south to escape battle. A government intent on genocide would do the opposite.

A cease-fire now would leave Hamas’s leadership and its massive tunnel structures intact. Hamas would declare victory and prepare for the next round of killing. Mr. Bartov’s article and the demonstrations around the world accusing Israel of genocide would, intentionally or not, have the effect of consigning Israel to live next to a terrorist state committed to its destruction. No state in the world would accept such a situation.
