AAF: Dear American Media, Please Stop Falling for Hamas Propaganda

Throughout Hamas’ war on Israel, the American media has regularly fallen for terrorist propaganda. Much of this could have been avoided had American media waited for the facts before accepting Hamas’ propaganda at face value.

Here are a few examples:

• On October 17, 2023, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist group attempted to launch a

missile at Israel. • The missile misfired and exploded in the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital’s parking lot. • Hamas immediately lied to the world, stating that Israel fired the missile and that 500 people

Unfortunately, the American media and the “Squad” failed to do their research and immediately began parroting Hamas’ talking points that Israel launched a missile at a hospital.

• On February 29, 2023, approximately 100 refugees were killed in a stampede attempting

to receive humanitarian aid.

Again, the American media – including CBS and CNN – regurgitated Hamas’ propaganda that Israeli troops opened fire on the refugees rather than wait for the truth to come out.

• There’s no shortage of evidence that UNRWA was a compromised quasi-Hamas

organization even before the October 7th attack. • However, even after October 7th and the release of ample evidence showing Hamas

terrorists on the UNRWA payroll, the American media continues to support UNRWA. Just this week, CNN ran an article claiming that the links were fabricated.

Bottomline: The American media must follow the facts wherever it may take them. Even if it means fact-checking Hamas.
