New York Times Patiently Awaiting Zoom Call From Hamas To See What They Should Print Today; Bumper stickers?

  Babylon Bee

NEW YORK, NY — The staff of the New York Times spent the morning patiently waiting by the computer, waiting for the call from Hamas to see what the terrorists would like to have printed on the front page today.

" 'No fingers on the keyboard until Hamas calls!" declared Chief Editor Joe Khan. "We don't post a single word unless we've sourced it directly from the terrorists on the ground - understood?"

 "At long last, the Zoom app began ringing with a phone call from a Hamas spokesman. "Hello! Allahu Ackbar! Okay, what message do you guys want out there?" asked reporter Gene Okerlund. "Yes, yes, I know you want it to say ‘Death to Israel,' but is there anything more specific you want? Any horrific atrocities you guys perpetrated by accident but want to pin on the Jews? Great! Oh yeah, we can inflate those death tolls. We'll have the whole Middle East rioting in no time!"

"Sources with the newspaper confirmed this has been a longstanding arrangement between the publication and horribly evil terrorist organizations. "We have the highest standards of integrity here at the New York Times," said Mr. Khan. "If you're a terrorist, you can rest assured that we will print exactly what you tell us, word for word. No matter how absurd the lie is, no matter if the lie could literally lead to wider war and death - you can count on us to print what you say."

"At publishing time, The New York Times editorial staff was preparing to go with a new front-page story titled "Israel Uses Giant Zionist Space Laser To Kill Eleventy-Billion Palestinian Orphans And Puppies."

Liberals Replace Star Of David On 'Coexist' Sticker With Hamas Paraglider | Babylon Bee

. . ."According to makers of the sticker, the paraglider symbol of murderous Hamas terrorists encapsulates the freedom and tolerance that all true liberals yearn for. "This change helps convey how serious we are about peaceful coexistence," said sticker designer Deandra Martinez. "We are so committed to peaceful coexistence we will commit mass murder of a particular ethnic group if necessary. We're just one genocide away from utopia, folks."

"As of printing time, Rep. Rashida Tlaib had been seen covering flyers showing the faces of hostages with the new 'COEXIST' stickers."

Is there no guilt over disgusting pro-Palestinians?

 Melanie Phillips:  Hamas, he said, "are not militants. They are not freedom fighters. They are terrorists. There are not two sides to these events. There is no question of balance. I stand with Israel."

The protest comes one day after media outlets in the U.S. and worldwide falsely reported that Israeli forces bombed a Palestinian hospital in Gaza, resulting in over 500 deaths. Conclusive evidence now points to a misfired rocket near the hospital in Gaza as the culprit.

'Dozens of protests erupted outside of western embassies around the world Tuesday night in the wake of the tragedy.' . . .

Bodies lie in ravaged Israeli kibbutz (yahoo.com)  . . ."Four days on from the onslaught, the sights and sounds of a live battle still present.

"And the stench of bodies heavy in the air.

"Major General Itai Veruv describes what they found once they had control.

" '’You see the babies, the mother, the fathers, in their bedrooms, in their protection roofs and how the terrorist kills them, it's not a war, it's not a battle field. It's a massacre, it's a terror activity. So you can look on yourself, it is something that I never saw in my life.’’

"Bodies of villagers and gunmen lie scattered throughout the neighborhood, with houses and vehicles destroyed.

"Troops were going house to house to retrieve civilian bodies in body bags.

"Unable to do so before as they were still fighting gunmen and working through booby-traps.

"Soldier Ayer Avriel told Reuters the average age of the community was 18 to 25.

 "‘’This neighborhood was brutally attacked and (people) slaughtered. RPG (rocket-propelled grenade) were shot. They burned everything and made sure that no one got out of here alive, and you can see the brutality. See for yourself."

"The signs of the rampage were also evident inside other kibbutz’s, like Be’rei." . . .

‘The dumbest show in America’: The demise of The View - YouTube  "The View was once an iconic daytime television show celebrated for its diverse range of entertaining hosts who discussed the issues of the day in a lively way.

"But, like many other brands in the mainstream media, The View has become a victim of left-wing ideology, filling their shows with aggressive agenda pushing, bizarre claims and excessive virtue signaling. This editorial pivot has made the show and its hosts the target of ridicule by the conservative media and the American people and has Sky News All Stars Rita Panahi, James Morrow and Megyn Kelly asking, is this the end of The View?"

Kayleigh McEnany: Omar and Tlaib won't condemn this

The Hamas, Arab, and BBC Big Lie About Israel and the Bombed Gaza Hospital -

  The American Spectator | USA News and Politics    "A guy stops his friend and relates excitedly: “Did you hear about Harvey? His wife just drove his brand-new Tesla into a swamp!”

"The friend responds: “First, it wasn’t Harvey. It was Frank. Second, it wasn’t his wife. It was his mother-in-law. Third, it wasn’t brand new; it was second-hand. Fourth, it wasn’t a Tesla. It was a Prius. Fifth, it wasn’t into a swamp. It was over a cliff. And sixth, it never happened.”

"That is what Israel has had to deal with for 75 years: Arab Big Lies gobbled up and regurgitated all-too-willingly by a left-wing anti-Israel mass media that has no soul and lies without hesitation if it sells newspapers, gets online clicks, likes, and followers. The bigger the lie, the more the clicks and followers. People attribute the Big Lie concept to the German Nazis of Hitler, especially his chief liar, Joseph Goebbels. But the Western lying media gobbles more than Goebbels. They are despicable falsifiers whose fake news incites violence and promotes catastrophe. Remember Trump colluding with Putin?

"In the Middle Eastern context, the terrorist Arabs lie, and BBC and CNN and all of them jump in to repeat the lies. Perhaps the most infamous of all was when the New York Times blared an Associated Press photo, caption, and story about an Israeli soldier beating the living daylights out of some poor innocent Arab kid, whom the photo showed was all bloodied up. The New York Times story said it was another example of how the Israelis send their soldiers onto the Temple Mount and desecrate holy Islamic soil and beat up on Arabs who are there only to pray sweetly.

"Some sharp-eyed Zionists (i.e., people who believe that Jews have a right to live in Israel just as Black Lives Matter has a right to live in Chicago and Ben & Jerry’s has a right to live on ancestral Native American lands in Vermont) noticed an oddity. If the guy with the Hebrew uniform, menacingly waving his billy club at the bleeding teen, was an Israeli soldier gone wild on the Temple Mount, how was it that the photo showed a gas station in the background? Gas stations on the Temple Mount? Really?

"So it turned out that — surprise! — the New York Times was lying. It wasn’t the Temple Mount but a Jerusalem street in an Arab neighborhood. The guy with the nightstick was not an army soldier but a civilian police officer. The kid bleeding was not an Arab beaten by the Israeli brandishing the club but Tuvia Grossman, a Jewish kid from America who had just been assaulted and battered badly by a gang of murderous Arabs. And the cop was waving his club at the Arab attackers to get them away from the Jewish kid before they killed him." . . .

But why this hatred for the Jewish people? Answer: Satan hates what God loves

 Why I Stand by the Nation of Israel and the Jewish People (harvest.org)  . . ."Now we have Hamas committing murders and unthinkable atrocities toward Jewish women, children, and even babies in Israel. It is pure evil. But God always intervenes—He raised up Moses to deliver the Jews from Pharaoh and Egypt. He raised up Queen Esther to use her influence to save her fellow Jews from the plot to destroy them.


"After the Holocaust, God raised up the Jews themselves to return to their homeland and become a nation again on May 14, 1948.

"But why this hatred for the Jewish people?
Answer: Satan hates what God loves. God loves and chose the Jews as His very own people.
Why? God Himself gives the answer: “The Lord did not set his heart on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other nations, for you were the smallest of all nations! Rather, it was simply that the Lord loves you, and he was keeping the oath he had sworn to your ancestors. That is why the Lord rescued you with such a strong hand from your slavery and from the oppressive hand of Pharaoh, king of Egypt” (Deuteronomy 7:7–8 NLT). 

"Antisemitism is from the pit of Hell. I am not Jewish, but as a Gentile and believer in Jesus Christ, I have been “grafted in” to the promises given to the Jewish people by the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." . . .

From Rodgers and Hammerstein's "South Pacific" "You've Got To Be Carefully Taught" - SOUTH PACIFIC (1958)

Officials Say Hate Crimes Against Jews Are Growing In The Aftermath Of Gaza Violence : NPR    "In Skokie, Ill., it was a shattered window at a synagogue. In Bal Harbour, Fla., it was four men yelling, "Die Jew," at a man in a skullcap, then threatening to rape his wife and daughter. And in Midtown Manhattan, it was a group of people attacking a Jewish man in the middle of the street in broad daylight." . . . 

So why are Jews hated so much? (mid-day.com)   

Do this simple thought experiment. Five hungry people who have not eaten for a month are at your door, begging for food. They are a Jew, an Indian Muslim, a Rohingya, a Chinese (Buddhist), a black African Christian and a white-skinned Harvard-educated atheist.  You have a simple vegetarian meal, but barely enough for one person. Which one would you feed?

Jews and Blacks: Their Landlord AND Their Friend

  Ann Coulter

The Anti-Defamation League (business model: defame white Christians) and the Southern Poverty Law Center (business model: defame white Christians) have long defended the systematic murder of white farmers in South Africa, claiming that anyone who mentions it is promoting a “racist conspiracy theory.”

    " I’m hoping liberals’ instinct for taking the side of barbarism against civilization has taken a hit after seeing so many stories of the BLM movement bellowing their love for Palestinian terrorists paragliding into Israel to butcher, rape and kidnap thousands of Israeli civilians, including infants and elderly dementia patients. It’s hard not to notice that the most unrestrained celebrations of the Hamas killers are coming from BLM members, the “colonized,” diversity beneficiaries, the “Indigenous,” non-Western immigrants and other affirmative action cases.

"You unleashed ’em, liberals!

"After George Floyd died and was deified on May 25, 2020, the left’s coddling of black people (and the black-adjacent) went into overdrive. For three years, this Brahmin caste has been able to get away with anything.

"They’ve gleefully dynamited historic statues, destroyed industries with their racist “equity, not equality” demands, bullied their way onto corporate boards and into every TV commercial, and openly discriminated against white men to elevate the incompetent.

"They’ve shamelessly grafted multiple millions of dollars from post-Floyd “causes” like Black Lives Matter and Ibram X. Kendi’s Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University.

"They’ve succeeded in getting the media and universities to ban words like “picnic,” “chief,” “American,” “master bedroom” and “English department.” Seriously.

"And that’s to say nothing of their penalty-free shoplifting, carjacking, maiming and murdering.

"But say one little thing wrong about Israel, and everybody gets upset!" . . .

Mark Levin Slams ‘Hamas Wing’ of the Democrats: ‘Anti-Semites’ & ‘America Haters’ Are ‘All Around Us’ –

 Mark Levin Slams ‘Hamas Wing’ of the Democrats: ‘Anti-Semites’ & ‘America Haters’ Are ‘All Around Us’ – enVolve (en-volve.com)

   "Conservative commentator and author Mark Levin has slammed the “Hamas wing of the Democrat Party” in a fiery statement.

"The “Life, Liberty & Levin” host joined “America’s Newsroom” on Wednesday to react to some Democrats’ response to terrorist attacks against Israel.

"Levin blasted the radical members of Congress who refuse to condemn the horrific attacks from Hamas in Israel.

"Levin reacted to radical “Squad’ Democrat Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN) responding to an explosion at a Gaza hospital on Tuesday.

"As Slay News reported, the congresswomen immediately blamed Israel for the incident that reportedly killed hundreds, without evidence

"However, evidence suggests that the hospital was hit by a missile fired by Hamas terrorists from Gaza.

"Rep. Tlaib’s latest claim about Israel was contradicted by the country’s military spokesperson Tuesday.

"Tlaib accused Israel of bombing the Christian hospital in the Gaza Strip and “killing 500 Palestinians,” including doctors, patients, and children.

“ 'Israel just bombed the Baptist Hospital killing 500 Palestinians (doctors, children, patients) just like that,” Tlaib said Tuesday on Twitter/X.

“ '[President Biden] this is what happens when you refuse to facilitate a ceasefire [and] help de-escalate,” wrote Tlaib, a vocal critic of Israel.

“ 'Your war and destruction only approach has opened my eyes and many Palestinian Americans and Muslims Americans like me.” . . .

Houston Hotel Cancels U.S. Campaign for Palestine Rights Conference

 

Houston Hotel Cancels U.S. Campaign for Palestine Rights Conference – HotAir

"The Hilton Houston Post Oak was scheduled to host the Seize the Moment US Campaign for Palestinian Rights National Conference later this month. That event has now been cancelled.

"The national conference was to be held from October 27 to October 29. The hotel cites safety concerns for its staff and hotel guests. The conference was meant to “mobilize for liberation”, according to its website. That has a threatening tone to it, given what is going on in Israel right now at the hands of Hamas.

“Hundreds of organizers, activists, students and artists will build across movements in our collective fight for justice. Imagine a liberated future with us, beginning with the demand to end U.S. military funding to Israel once and for all,” the website said.

"There is no room for these Hamas supporters in Texas, he said. “Texas has no room for hate & antisemitism like that supported by Hamas. No location in Texas should host or sponsor USCPR.” They can “Seize the Moment” elsewhere." . . .

Biden Admin Denounces Fellow Democrats Equating Hamas Attack With Israel’s Response - The Political Insider    . . ." President Biden meant it when he said, “This is not about party or politics.”

"On Tuesday, the White House condemned “repugnant” and “disgraceful” comments from members of Congress equating the terrorist attack by Hamas with previous actions taken by Israel. Notably, this rebuttal applies to Democratic Reps. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Cori Bush of Missouri.

"'I’ve seen some of those statements this weekend,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told RealClearPolitics, “and we are going to continue to be very clear: We believe they are wrong.”

“ 'Our condemnation belongs squarely with terrorists who have brutally murdered, raped, and kidnapped hundreds of Israelis. There can be no equivocation about that. There are not two sides here,” Jean-Pierre continued." . . .

 Biden in Israel: Bad Comments, Zoning Out, and Confusing Wars – RedState

. . ."Biden was also having to field questions about the Gaza hospital explosion. As we reported, now in the light of day, there was more evidence showing it wasn't Israel and questions about the number of people claimed killed.  Meanwhile, the media immediately spread a lot of misinformation based on Hamas' claims, without checking on the facts. 

"But when Biden made some perfunctory comments about that, he had issues. He tried to tell a story about something that Secretary of State Antony Blinken had written for him in the past, but he blanked out right in the middle of the sentence and embarrassingly couldn't remember what he was trying to say. He then said that the evidence indicated it was the "other team." As he said that, he was reading from notes, even for such a short comment and he still had problems. 

"You can see the reading of the notes more clearly in this video." 

BIDEN: "I was deeply saddened and outraged by the explosion at the hospital in Gaza yesterday and based on what I've seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team, not you, but there's a lot of people out there not sure, so we gotta overcome a lot of things" pic.twitter.com/rmSgPcCdAd

 Does the World Really Need To See Joe Biden in Israel Today?    "There used to be an old saying and rule in the American body politic, that criticism of the United States President ended at the nation's shores whenever he left the country to go on an overseas trip.

"That policy, of course, pretty much ended during the Reagan Administration (Republican of course), seeing as he pushed for and instituted policies that successfully defeated the Soviet Union (or what he correctly called the "Evil Empire"). Reagan won the Cold War without firing a shot and the policy of criticizing a President died along with the evil empire he helped defeat." . . .

. . ."This was a targeted disinformation campaign that ran its way around the globe, parroted by the largest news outlets, causing violence in multiple countries. That violence is still ongoing, with Western embassies and consulates under attack in Lebanon, Turkey, and Jordan, among others. 

"It was all based on a lie told by a terrorist organization. This wasn't a small fudging of the situation either. Hamas completely made up a story about a hospital being leveled by an IAF bombing. The press reported it uncritically for hours, with some claiming people were being "pulled from the rubble." They then made up a story about 500 people being dead. The press also repeated those numbers with zero verification. 

"Where is the accountability? Who is going to lose their job over this? Will there be apologies issued from these news organizations that claim the utmost credibility? Don't hold your breath, but let this be another lesson that you should never blindly believe the mainstream press, especially when there are tell-tale signs that things aren't adding up."

 

We're right behind you, little ones!

 

Hospital horsehockey - American Thinker

What garbage -- yet these vaunted media outlets buy into this Hamas "narrative" propaganda hook, line and sinker.

Their antennae ought to be up, actually because Israel has warned civilians to get out of the way since they would be advancing on Hamas. People who blow up hospitals or behead babies in cribs don't do those things.

What's more, the  hard evidence presented by the Israelis pretty well makes it clear that it was a scummy terrorist wannabe group called Palestine Islamic Jihad that did it, incompetently hurling a rocket into a hospital area. The Israeli Defense Forces was not firing missiles anywhere in the vicinity when the incident happened, and the weapons were clearly not moving the way Israeli weapons do.
