Circling back to the unfolding war in Israel—we learned yesterday that Gaza-based photojournalists working for CNN, the Associated Press, Reuters, and The New York Times were embedded with Hamas during the October 7 slaughter.
You may ask yourself: how did the photojournalists know to meet the attackers early that morning as they accompanied them over the border into Israel? Did they know their assignment was to document a surprise raid on innocent Israelis? Did they let anyone know? If not, why not?
Here’s the scoop from Honest Reporting.
On October 7, Hamas terrorists were not the only ones who documented the war crimes they had committed during their deadly rampage across southern Israel. Some of their atrocities were captured by Gaza-based photojournalists working for the Associated Press and Reuters news agencies whose early morning presence at the breached border area raises serious ethical 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.
Four names appear on AP’s photo credits from the Israel-Gaza border area on October 7: Hassan Eslaiah, Yousef Masoud, Ali Mahmud, and Hatem Ali.
Eslaiah, a freelancer who also works for CNN, crossed into Israel, took photos of a burning Israeli tank, and then captured infiltrators entering Kibbutz Kfar Azza.

Reuters has published pictures from two photojournalists who also happened to be at the border just in time for Hamas’ infiltration: Mohammed Fayq Abu Mostafa and Yasser Qudih.
They both took pictures of a burning Israeli tank on the Israeli side of the border, but Abu Mustafa went further: He took photos of a lynch mob brutalizing the body of an Israeli soldier who was dragged out of the tank.
Reuters was kind enough to add a graphic warning to the photo caption, but it didn’t prevent editors from shamelessly labeling it as one of the “Images of the Day” on their editorial database.
It seems that the photojournalists knew the attack was coming and participated in it—and then the mainstream media bought the photos.
As if to underscore how closely aligned these “photojournalists” are with the enemy, here’s one of them literally embracing Hamas.
You can’t trust the mainstream media. They’re part of the Left and the mouthpiece of the Democrats. They no longer function as a check on government. They function as an extension of government.
What else do you suppose that they photographed?
Hi Dave, everyone in our country has a pretty good idea by now that the CNN’s of the world only report trash, so now the rest of the world gets to see what we’ve had to put up with, whether they want to believe it or not, that’s up to them.. i
