Open Sources Demolish the Legacy Media

 Clarice Feldman- American Thinker   "Islamist butchers, and their media and academic buddies, failed in their latest rerun of the war against Israel. In the days before online media, particularly Elon Musk’s X, the storyline was a familiar one. Israel would be attacked and the mainstream media would be flooded with accounts from local reporters and photographers and embedded compromised national reporters of civilian injuries and deaths during any response. The emotional response would follow: a call would come for Israel to pull back before taking effective charge of the enemy, and the United States would force its hand.

"Not this time. This time, we could see accounts from both sides, from the pictures and bios of the murdered, injured, and kidnapped civilians, who hailed from countries around the world. This time we could see the videos of the Israeli response. This time we could see the pictures of the bloodshed and hear the accounts of among others, the forensic scientists who examined the butchered bodies of the victims.

"This time we could hear the voices of, not only Jews, but Bedouins, Moslems, and Druze in Israel and Moslems in neighboring countries as anti-Hamas as you can find anywhere. This time we could see who was supporting this butchery in the West. This time, those who spread the blood libel are fully exposed.

"On X Steven Sinofsky explains the revolution in reporting." . . .

The Blood Libel that Israel had deliberately targeted a hospital in Gaza, resulting in 500 civilian deaths, was published by, to my knowledge, every major domestic press and television channel. Its source was AP, whose sole source was apparently Hamas. Huge anti-Israel and anti-Jewish demonstrations followed all around the globe. An ancient synagogue was demolished in Tunisa, another was attacked in Spanish Melilla, and Jews and their schools and houses of worship were under threat almost everywhere. . . .

Meanwhile here in America with Democrats:

. . ."I think a person who celebrates Hamas and worked for the PLO has no business being on the government payroll vetting Palestinian asylum applications. I think medical personnel praising the murders of Israeli civilians and wishing death on Jews should not be treating hospital patients; I think a professor who calls the barbaric slaughter of Israelis "exhilarating" does not belong on the school's roster, a school which I'm sure just days ago was enforcing rules that speech which offends anyone must be punished to maintain the institution as a safe space. I think the Squad, which encouraged and probably aided a riot in the Capitol, should be stripped from their party's caucus and all committee slots."
