CNN features Minnesota family claiming 42 relatives killed in Gaza, admits it can confirm no detail of their story

17

“CNN cannot independently confirm that it was an Israeli strike. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it could not comment without coordinates of the house. The family declined to provide CNN with the coordinates for fear of reprisal.”

There you have it.

Even if this did happen, were any members of the family Hamas jihadis? CNN doesn’t say. Would CNN run a similar wholly unsubstantiated story about an Israeli family losing family members in the Hamas massacres of Oct. 7? Of course not. Given the fact that “Palestinians” in Gaza have recently been caught lying about casualty figures, should CNN really be repeating such figures uncritically? Of course not. Should CNN retract this story and apologize? Of course. Will it? Of course not.

“Palestinian American family mourns 42 relatives killed in a single day in Gaza,” by Isabel Rosales, Dianne Gallagher and Devon M. Sayers, CNN, October 31, 2023:

Thousands of miles away from the brutality of war in Gaza, Tariq Hamouda and his wife Manal are in disbelief over the loss of three generations of their family.

The Palestinian Americans, who live in Maple Grove, Minnesota, say it’s been over a week since they learned 42 relatives were killed in the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, and they’re still unable to fully comprehend the news.

Hamouda says his wife, whose maiden name is Saqallah, lost four brothers, a sister and most of their children when two explosions destroyed the Saqallah family compound on October 19 in the Sheikh Ejleen neighborhood of Gaza City.

Hamouda and the family say it was an Israeli airstrike. Israel has launched numerous airstrikes on Gaza City since October 7, including multiple strikes in the area that day.

CNN cannot independently confirm that it was an Israeli strike. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it could not comment without coordinates of the house. The family declined to provide CNN with the coordinates for fear of reprisal.

A video shot by a neighbor and provided to CNN shows what is left of the family compound; charred ruins and rubble, of what relatives say used to be three buildings, now surrounded by virtually untouched homes in the residential area….

They breed like cockroaches and overwhelm the host. This is their primary method of conquest.

They migrate claiming persecution, as Mo did. They flee their own civilization and blame the hosts that are stupid enough to open their arms to them. They also lie like Mo.

The ruling class that invited this enemy is just as deadly.Even the churches import their own assassins and shame the victims for opposing their own execution.

All it took to change us from free people to slaves in a slaughterhouse was money and time and evil intent.

They should have their citizenship revoked if they are citizens, and deported back to the Gaza,where they can join their relatives.

Those Palis should complain to Hamas that they shouldn’t start wars with Israel. I wonder who these Palis would blame if they tried to pet the Bison in Yellowstone?

CNN said it could not report the Hunter Biden laptop because it could not confirm the story. But they reported anything anti trump from a confidential source (aka they make it up) .

What if it was in reverse. Would the Palestinians give a crap if 42 Jews were killed? Have you heard from one Palestinian that condemns Hamas?

Where is the PROOF for this PROPAGANDIST ARTICLE?? OH THAT’S RIGHT. PROPAGANDISTS need no proof! For the real lives lost, I pray God gives His PEACE. For the HAAmas WANTON KILLERS, God will accept or reject according to His WILL.
