Photographers working for AP, CNN, NY Times, and Reuters were embedded with Hamas on October 7and accompanied the terrorist group into Israel. They knew the attack was coming, and participated in it according to an exclusive report at Honest Reporting.
We need war tribunals to prosecute these war criminal news orgs.
The names of the photographers, which appear on other sources, have been removed from some of the photos on AP’s database. Perhaps someone at the agency realized it posed serious questions regarding their journalistic ethics.

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.
I guess I wasn’t the only one wondering why the @AP had photographers embedded with the terrorists on 10/7? https://t.co/0yxTlYLTeh pic.twitter.com/gygpyHpznw

Photographers Without Borders: AP & Reuters Pictures of Hamas Atrocities Raise Ethical Questions

By: Honest Reporting Staff, November 8, 2023:
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.
AP: Photojournalists or Infiltrators?
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.
HonestReporting has obtained screenshots of Eslaiah’s now-removed tweets on X in which he documented himself standing in front of the Israeli tank. He did not wear a press vest or a helmet, and the Arabic caption of his tweet read: “Live from inside the Gaza Strip settlements.”
Masoud, who also works for The New York Times, was there as well — just in time to set foot in Israeli territory and take more tank pictures.
Ali Mahmud and Hatem Ali were positioned to get pictures of the horrific abductions of Israelis into Gaza.
Mahmud captured the pickup truck carrying the body of German-Israeli Shani Louk and Ali got several shots of abductees being kidnapped into the Strip.

Try changing your browser. The Epic browser gives you a choice of 8 encrypted proxies you can use from location all over the world, although you have to pay for searches if you use their own search engine. Or you could try Opera. I believe that has it’s own VPN.

Mossad is reading this report. I would not want to be one of those four “reporters” or his family. It is absolutely vital that these scumbags be assassinated. The free world then must then pursue the so-called news agencies that employed them. They must be dismantled- totally destroyed and all their assets seized and given to Israel. The senior management must be tried for war crimes and hanged, preferably publicly

Spot on! For far too long many alleged journalists have been leftist implants and these need to be punished for what terrorism activities they were involved in. I’d like to see what was done to innocent Israelis done to them and their bosses who know what they were up to as well as their pali pals.

Ann Barnhardt describes this as the MSM Green Flagging the Hamas attack. What else describes the behavior of these embedded “journalists” in participating in the slaughter without warning anyone? And why were all of Israel’s defenses ineffective?
It looks like Byte Me, Lindsey Graham, and John McCain’s ghost will get their WW3. Even if they have to kill everyone else first.

Do a search (I used DuckDuckGo for my search) on the name Ann Barnhardt and it should be the first result that you want.

These “journalists” are co-collabrators in war crimes. Their participation makes them legitimate targets for the IDF. By providing aid to these subhuman terrorists, they deserve whatever punishment they are subjected to.

These news groups need to be tried as war criminals. They are accomplices to Nazi types who kill in a more orgiastic fashion than the Nazis did.
Will they use gas chambers against us Jews? They are more akin to roving einsatzgruppen staffed with the Balts and the Ukrainians who were more ,,,:personal: with their slaughter of Jews. Something akin to Treblinka;s Ivan the Terrible — except there are much more of them.
And if someone does not take the necessary actions, they will do this again and again.

These are not journalists. These are participants. This was not a war, it was a terrorist attack directly on civilians. This is not freedom of the press. It’s documentarians of atrocities. They should be viewed as terrorist combatants.

This would be tantamount to any of the legacy media (New York Times, et al.), in World War II, sending reporters to effectively collaborate with the Nazis in Germany, or the kamikaze fighters in Japan. These so-called “reporters” would have no doubt made Leni Riefenstahl, Lord Haw Haw and Mata Hari proud.

“60 Minutes’ ” Mike Wallace once said in a discussion about reporters at war that aired on PBS, when the question came up on whether any of them, if embedded with rebels who sought to ambush American soldiers, would warn the soldiers of such a planned ambush, that he would not say a word and simply report on any ambush, claiming he was a “journalist first.” (Yeah, right – but he certainly qualified as an American last.) Even another pro-“Palestinian” snake, Peter Jennings, said he’d have warned our troops about planned ambushes, as an “American first” (though he was born in Canada) – every journalist on the panel, that is, except Wallace. More than one person, in print and online, wrote about how they lost any and all respect for Wallace after that.
I can imagine Wallace, were he still among us and an active “reporter,” being one of those Hamas collaborationists among the so-called “fourth estate” that has all but become a fifth column. THAT is what you pointed out reminds me of.

The newspapers should have vetted their stringers.
Going back to the George Floyd incident. A highly trained Islamic photographer just happened to be there to take the photos falsely showing Floyd be kneeled on. The 911 operator that day was a Moslem as well as the storekeeper who triggered the incident. The treachery and deceit of the moslem cannot be fathomed by the Westerner.
