The New York Times, in its reprehensible campaign to vilify Israel and whitewash Hamas, has resorted to lying about terrorists Israel has killed by pretending the targets were journalists.
The author, one David Carr, reported in a piece titled Using War as Cover to Target Journalists that two senior Hamas terrorists Israel killed last week were journalists.
Carr claims that the two terrorists, Mahmoud al-Kumi and Hussam Salama, were cameramen for Al-Aqsa TV, which is run by Hamas. They were supposedly covering the Gaza conflict when a missile struck their car.
What Carr didnt report was that the two men had spray-painted TV on their car to masquerade as journalists and mask their terrorist identities. Muhammed Shamalah, (also referred to as Slama) was the commander of Hamas forces in the southern Strip and head of the Hamas militant training programs. The precision air strike by Israel was a hit on a terrorist leader.
But the Times wasnt done; they claimed that the two men, as cameramen for Al-Aqsa TV, a Hamas propaganda outfit, should have had journalistic immunity from attack. Even if the two men were journalists, which they were not, the U.S. State Department classifies Al-Aqsa TV as a terrorist organization.

Terrorists can be journalists as well as Majors in the US Army. Just workplace violence.
Wouldn’t bother me if they were.
The author, one David Carr... claims that the two terrorists, Mahmoud al-Kumi and Hussam Salama, were cameramen for Al-Aqsa TV... the two men had spray-painted TV on their car to masquerade as journalists... Muhammed Shamalah, (also referred to as Slama) was the commander of Hamas forces in the southern Strip and head of the Hamas militant training programs. The precision air strike by Israel was a hit on a terrorist leader... Even if the two men were journalists, which they were not, the U.S. State Department classifies Al-Aqsa TV as a terrorist organization.The fact that the New York Slimes continues to employ pro-jihadists jackoffs like that one shows that the Slimes itself is pro-jihadist, whatever it may pretend to be.
Despicable. I’m waiting for 1 (one) elected official to castigate the Times for their utter lack of ethics.
