Posted by Hussam Abu Safyia • Published multiple NYT op-eds accusing Israel of “genocide” • Presented by the Times as a “pediatrician” and hospital director • Photographed in Hamas military uniform at a Hamas elite event • Palestinian media refers to him by military rank: colonel
Evidence shows Abu Safyia attended a 2016 Hamas gathering alongside senior Hamas commanders at Kamal Adwan Hospital, which the IDF says was used by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad operatives.
Key omission: Neither Abu Safyia nor The New York Times disclosed his Hamas affiliation, despite it being public knowledge in Gaza. NGO Monitor: “Those who platformed him must do serious soul-searching after promoting the propaganda of a literal Hamas terrorist.”
This is how narrative warfare works: Militants → rebranded as “doctors” Propaganda → laundered through elite Western media Context → deliberately stripped Source: New York Post | NGO Monitor | IDF Stay connected, follow
