NYT Rehires Hitler-Praising Soliman Hijjy to Cover Israel-Hamas War
New York Post ^ | Oct. 20, 2023 | Shannon Thaler

A New York Times reporter who came under fire last year for a praising Adolf Hitler in multiple resurfaced Facebook posts was rehired by the Gray Lady to cover the Israel-Palestine war.

Palestinian filmmaker Soliman Hijjy hailed the Nazi leader as recently as 2018 in a post on Facebook, when he shared a photo of himself captioned that he was “in a state of harmony as Hitler was during the Holocaust,” per a translation from Arabic by pro-Israel media watchdog site HonestReporting.

That same year, Hijjy was hired by the Times as a freelance journalist and worked on a slew of “visual investigations” published by the organization through 2021, including one on an Israeli airstrike that killed 44 people. Hijjy’s 2018 post — including a 2012 Facebook post where he wrote, “How great you are, Hitler” in Arabic alongside a photoshopped image of Hitler seemingly taking a selfie — were unearthed last year, when pro-Israel outlets called out the Times for hiring antisemitic journalists as freelancers.

Is the NYT an objective newspaper?

No, but a great bird cage liner!

It’s been an antisemitic rag forever — even failed to “cover” 99.99 percent of the holocaust in WW2

I notice that they have gone back somewhat to their previous points of view after a brief period of condemning the massacre.

As I mentioned earlier today, it is not as if the Times hasn't before had an admirer of an infamous and brutal dictator on their staff, with Uncle Walter (who even won a Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of Stalin) as an example.

The New York Slimes bent over backwards to accommodate Hitler. Their Berlin bureau chief even attended his birthday party in 1933. That was the same year Dauchau was opened as a prison camp for political enemies. A NY Slimes reporter toured the camp, and gave it glowing praise, despite 5 men having been shot the week before, in the back of the head at close range for "attempting to escape." They never mentioned that 4 of the 5 were Jews, or that the 5th guy shot was mistaken for a Jew because they had the same name.

No. This is the news most New Yorkers want to hear. And college students, apparently.

The Times is a bad joke. Now they’re hiring genocidal staff. It’s just sickening that anyone trusts this paper.

This is why we need more immigrants, because our labor pool is so small.
