They might let you in the club, if you bootlick hard enough. In the age of information, ignorance is a choice. 2,215 Palestine in Gazans killed in last 175 hours
[TIMELINE OF MOMENTS]
Friday 2.22PM DC / 12.22PM Colorado: MSNBC x/twitter account posted ‘70 killed after Israeli strikes hit three convoys of evacuees trying to leave northern Gaza.’ and get gigantic retweet / X-ed.
3.44PM DC / 1.44PM Colorado: [last time before bombastic news by SEMAFOR] last tweet by Mehdi R. Hasan [not reposted], tweets more than 100 characters, with his tweet ‘“Trapped in Gaza, Palestinian Americans Say They Feel Abandoned” - important and excellent reporting from @nytimes’
4.02PM DC / 2.02PM Colorado: Bombshell news by SEMAFOR, tweeted that MSNBC has quietly taken three of its Muslim broadcasters out of the anchor’s chair since Hamas’s attack. In SEMAFOR account twitter/X. This investigation written by Maxwell Tani
4.11PM DC / 2.11PM Colorado: same tweet by Maxwell Tani [in his personal twitter / X account] about SEMAFOR report about the fate ‘trio muslim’ in MSNBC
Minutes from I am writing it, or Satir day 4.22AM DC / 2.22AM Colorado: 1st ever Mehdi’s tweet [more than 100 characters] after scandal, ‘silent treatment’ by MSNBC.
PS: actually, MEHDI still reposts anything about Palestine after bombshell by SEMAFOR [about chaos in internal MSNBC]. And even, he tweeted-requoted ‘dont look away’ about some news by Chief Middle East Bureau of The Economist Gregg Carlstrom, 3 hours ago.
But for literally, under his full-consciousness, his statement about Palestine, longer than 100 character, first ever tweet after scandal in MSNBC, is [on timelapse] 4.22AM DC
He tweeted [finally]:
Guide timeline
‘’Separate to the injustice & illegality of it, there is a fundamental racism to suggesting Gazans just up & move to Egypt & other Arab countries. Folks, Arabs aren’t all the same. No one asked Northern Irish Catholics to just relocate to France because they’re all white Europeans.’’

Jerusalem - Gaza Strip - Tel Aviv 2.38pm [176 hours of war, still continue] BREAKING NEWS live update trilingual [hebrew - arabic - english] click here
King [gigantic I think] of Clout for Palestine issues, Mohammed El-Kurd [he’s activist in West Bank Palestine, firstly getting viral about Sheikh Jarrah] was angry at Mehdi R. Hasan after Mehdi tweeted ‘my video on twitter about Palestine get 2 million views’, 4 days ago. Alongside [account name] Saeed DiCaprio [he’s Palestine], Mohammed El Kurd to be the highest ever clout about Palestine issues, per tweet regularly reaches 200k engagement in X - formerly Twitter. Specific for DiCaprio, in last 7 days, his tweet, per one tweet, sometimes get 4 million engagements very easy.
Mohammed El-Kurd debunked lie about NBC and ‘staged’ document by IDF, because ‘Saturday attack’ Oct 7t is Israel holiday - Sukkot Day. No one children go to school.
Storytelling, error [fake news about babies beheaded although, yes already several Israeli murdered in Kibbutz Kfar Ara], a moral compass for every journo
El Kurd thinks Mehdi is egoistic, just cares about his engagement-clout [million] at the same time Palestinian got slaughtered. Palestinian journalist says ice cream trucks are used as storage for corpses due to lack of space at Gaza hospital morgues.

Mehdi very proud ‘WIN EVERY ARGUMENT’, his book, but he already facing serious threat for his career = MSNBC BOARD EDITORIAL. He may ‘lose’ on argument, was nearly 12 hours ‘not tweeting directly, just reposted’ after bombshell by SEMAFOR.
As of 2pm local time now [time lapse 175 of war], death toll in Gaza alone already 2,215. At least 724 CHILDREN and 458 WOMEN, for women including 90-years old grandmother who insist stay at home although get evacuate by Palestinian SAR in Wednesday, 48 hours before Israel announcement for entire Gaza in north to move to south or even Sinai --- and thanks to babies beheaded fake news, so killing Palestinian justified. 2,473 Palestinian killed since New Year Eve 2023.

I try assuming Elin is Palestinian - American or half caucasian, not 100 percent Arabic / Palestinian. Indeed, to God Allah SWT we belong and to Allah SWT we shall return
There have been many different expressions of solidarity this week across the world over the horrors in Israel-Palestine. The one of greatest material consequence, by a massive margin, is the Biden administration's encouragement of Israel to commit war crimes.
Irony about this award, Palestinian fleeing from Northern Gaza to Southern [in extreme, goes to Sinai, go to Egypt], killed by Israel bombardment
Convoys of “what appear to be” evacuees Israel *instructed* people to flee through a “safe corridor” then *bombed* them as they fled. In broad daylight. & they can do that because they know US anchors will always question Palestinians’ innocence. Read again. Israel told Palestinians to flee their homes to another part of the Gaza Strip (they can’t leave Gaza because Israel has closed all its borders). Israel told Palestinians which roads were safe. Then Israel bombed those roads while civilians were fleeing. After yesterday [70 Palestinian killed in process fleeing to the South], 1pm today, another brutality bombardment by Israel to Gazan people fleeing. An act of genocide. Blood on her hands =
bio twitter/x CNN anchor, Sara Sidner, 7th CNN journo, who lied about beheaded babies, ‘HUMAN BEING.’ Fake Babies Beheaded justified brutality to Palestine.
With ‘banned’ for Mehdi, also Ayman, and Ali Velshi to ‘regular schedule’, I try to define why Mehdi exhibits [requoted by EL KURD], show his number, maybe indirectly try to dunk his fellow, board editorial MSNBC, who tried to keep him silent [based on investigation from SEMAFOR]. Other ‘BC’, in case is BBC, BBC journalists covering the attack on Israel were assaulted and held at gunpoint by Israeli police. A BBC spokesperson said journalists "must be able to report on the conflict in Israel-Gaza freely".
Most Palestinians don’t want to flee because they don’t want a repeat of the 1948 Nakba, they would rather die in their homes. Now already SATURDAY 9am in Gaza - Tel Aviv, all displaced people have nowhere to go but into the streets, waiting to be killed.
Human Rights Watch already condemned of Israel brutality using white phosphorus weapon.
Mehdi’s tweet, especially if Trump issues, regularly racked 100k engagement/tweet. Thanks for popularity of ‘trio muslim’ Ayman Mohyeldin, Ali Velshi, and Mehdi R Hasan with a gigantic audience for this trio, MSNBC in the last 2 years repeatedly [although not permanently in consecutive months] surpassed FOX and CNN to be the most viewed in the world for TV channel.
War of consciousness is vulgarly happening. In the spirit of fairness, I have noticed 3 Western leaders - just 3 - who had enough backbone to express concern about Israel's actions. They are Norwegian foreign minister Anniken Scharning Huitfeldt [NORWAY has NRC, a humanitarian organization to helping poor, very active in Gaza too], who said the blockade on Gaza was "unacceptable", and Ireland's PM Leo Eric Varadkar who said that what is happening in Gaza "amounts to collective punishment", and Scotland Leader / First Minister Humza Haroon Yousaf. Varadkar added: "Cutting off power, cutting off fuel supplies and water supplies, that's not the way a respectable democratic state should conduct itself."
If Israel side using fake babies beheaded [now 7 CNN journo, admit he / she lies, or ‘whoopsie wrong tweet, sorry’, not only Biden] to influencing the global audience about hamas and dehumanize every issues about Gaza, on Palestine side with tireless combat every disinformation. Scotland Leader, and first ever muslim leads western nation, Humza Haroon Yousaf, smartly using his white mother-in-law [Elizabeth Nakleh, mother of Nadia Nakleh] to get empathy from his fellow UK politicians and other white Caucasian across the world. Londoner [London people] join Berliner [Berlin] to show support for Palestinian, gigantic, massive rallies amid discrimination by local police. No, massive support for Palestine not only from Harvard. Meanwhile zionist college groups like hillel generate 45 million dollars a year and have clear ties with the zionist state. 38 million alone last year from a foundation called Marcus Foundation.
Elizabeth, also Humza’s brother-in-law, also Ghassan Abu Sitta [Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon] and maybe around 40 UK - Palestinian citizens trapped in Gaza. American - Palestinian in Gaza around 500 - 600. At least 2 German - Palestinian, parents of NASA Astronaut Loay Elbasyouni. Around 15 French - Palestinian in Gaza too. Not counting ‘gross assume’ foreign hostage under HAMAS in Gaza, single or dual citizenship [not only Israeli].
750 missing and this number ‘not dead/casualties’, not counting foreign.
MSNBC has quietly taken three of its Muslim broadcasters out of the anchor’s chair since Hamas’s attack on Israel last Saturday amid America’s wave of sympathy for Israeli terror victims. Although currently also wave of sympathy for Palestinian, not only in Harvard but across US cities and global cities.
The network did not air a scheduled Thursday night episode of The Mehdi Hasan Show on the streaming platform Peacock. MSNBC also reversed a plan for Ayman Mohyeldin to fill in this week on the network for host Joy Reid’s 7 p.m. show on Thursday and Friday. Mohyeldin, an Egyptian-American journalist and veteran NBC News correspondent covered the conflict from Gaza for two years. In 2021, he aggressively questioned Israeli leaders on strikes on the territory. Two network sources with knowledge of the plans told Semafor that the network also plans to have Alicia Menendez fill in this upcoming weekend for Ali Velshi, a third Muslim-American host who on Sunday interviewed a spokesman for the Palestinian Authority.
Some staff at MSNBC have been concerned by the moves, feeling all three hosts have some of the deepest knowledge of the conflict. NBC says the shifts are coincidental, and the three continue to appear on air to report and provide analysis.
Russian ambassador to the UN has decried what he said was western double standards [about Ukraine and now about Israel - Palestine], after Moscow drafted a Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire between Israel and armed Palestinian groups in Gaza. “The head of the European Commission openly declares that the EU stands with Israel while turning a blind eye to the Israeli air force attacks on civilian infrastructure in the Gaza Strip,” Vasily Nebenzya said.
A company official vehemently pushed back against any notion that either Hasan or Mohyeldin were being sidelined in any way. Over the past several days, Mohyeldin has appeared on several programs on MSNBC as a guest including shows hosted by Reid and Chris Hayes. While he did not host Reid’s show, a network official said that the cable channel opted to stick with its more recognizable weekday hosts rather than hand over the reins to weekend anchors. Hasan’s Peacock show is taped, and the network official said his show was shelved in favor of keeping coverage on the NBC streaming service more up-to-date.
“We have and will continue to cover the barbaric terrorist attacks on defenseless civilians in Israel last weekend and the tragic war it has provoked thoroughly and in all their dimensions,” NBCUniversal Executive Vice President of Communications Stephen Labaton said in a statement.
The moves come as MSNBC — like the Democratic Party with which it’s often aligned — has swung into intense solidarity with the Jewish state after the murderous Hamas attacks. That shift has come with heated internal and external objections to anything that breaks with that solidarity, and has come with social media criticism of Hasan, Mohyeldin, and Velshi. Hasan has also been vocal on X, formerly known as Twitter, condemning the Hamas attack and calling attention to the plight of civilians in Gaza.
Middle East divisions have also spilled into the company’s internal politics. On Wednesday, an NBCU engineer organized a network-wide support event for staff who felt grief over the conflict. But a Slack channel dedicated to the event devolved into fighting after the engineer rebuked a producer for Velshi’s show who asked why there were no Palestinians speaking at the event.
“I’m creating an event for those interested in hearing updates about the situation in Israel and a place to share family/friend stories from on the ground,” the NBC event organizer said, noting that there would be a rabbi in attendance.
“There’s no Palestinian representation at this?” Velshi’s producer asked.
“This is not about Palestinians and Jews/Israelis,” the organizer said, tagging NBC’s HR director. “This is about terrorists and Jews/Israelis. Anyone entering this group needs to denounce terror and what happened on Saturday. Claims of ‘freedom fighting,’ rationalizations, really, anything not explicitly and unequivocally about being supportive during this difficult time; these do NOT belong here.”
Velshi’s producer said that the employee had sent them a private message including some “incredibly offensive things.”
“You’re on here equating the loss of Palestinian civilian life with terrorism and saying that I have no right to grieve, as you do. You’re putting words in my mouth, demanding that I denounce terror as if I had anything to do with it. Not sure how you have managed to twist all this from a simple question asking, where can I, as someone with friends who are currently trapped in both Gaza and Israel, go to grieve?” the producer responded.
An NBC HR representative then stepped in and pleaded with staff to “maintain decorum,” sharing the company’s employee conduct handbook, and advising them to attend a company diversity, equity, and inclusion meeting.
But the meeting was similarly derailed. After an NBC editorial employee asked about whether the network should discuss the historical context of the conflict, a colleague from the company’s tech team jumped into the comments.
“Context? For burning babies in their beds? This is just about evil acts done by evil people for evil reasons,” the NBCU tech employee said. “Moral clarity.”
Labaton noted that NBCU is not unique in its struggle to cope with the fallout of last Sunday’s attack.
“Many people, not only here, but across the country and the world, have understandably been struggling to comprehend the horrors that occurred last weekend and the ensuing war,” he said in a statement. “We are giving our team members the support and space that they need during this time.”
During many domestic news events, the ideological distance between MSNBC hosts is relatively narrow.
But over the past decade, NBC and MSNBC have struggled to cover the flare ups of violence in the Middle East without internal controversy, which has largely centered around three of the network’s Muslim anchors, who are among the highest profile Muslim voices in American journalism: Mohyeldin, Hasan, and Velshi.
In 2014, Mohyeldin, the network’s most experienced reporter in Gaza, was abruptly pulled from NBC’s coverage of the region and replaced by Richard Engel for several days. CNN reported at the time that NBC executives did not give him a concrete explanation beyond citing vague “security reasons.” Semafor reported that when violence erupted in Gaza in 2021, MSNBC executives had privately expressed discomfort with hosts Hasan and Mohyeldin for their coverage.
Other decisions about coverage of the conflict in recent years have caused division among network employees. One person with knowledge said that NBC News standards asked shows in 2021 to refer to “Israel and the Palestinians” instead of “Israel and Palestine” because the U.S. government does not officially recognize Palestine.
During the flare up in 2021, Mohyeldin and Hasan both covered the conflict with an emphasis on the impact of violence on Palestinian civilians, and with a strong skepticism of the use of Israeli military force. This prompted criticism from some American political pundits. A Washington Examiner editor at the time accused Mohyeldin in a tweet of “denying Israel’s existence” following the anchor’s aggressive questioning of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s spokesman.
Conservative media has put pressure on MSNBC to shift further toward Israel in its coverage. National Review said MSNBC spent the week “justifying Hamas violence as the inevitable result of Israeli aggression,” citing Mohyeldin’s analysis that the attacks were the “very deadly consequences of failed policies” by Netanyahu’s administration. The New York Post writer Jon Levine has repeatedly pointed out that the three hosts spent parts of their careers at Al Jazeera, the Qatari state run television network. NewsNation host Dan Abrams said the three were attempting to “pander to the far left.”
Not only GAZA AND BARCELONA are twin cities, sister city each other. Maria Guardiola, daughter of Pep, a Catalan, one of best coach ever in soccer / football, former FC Barcelona and FC Bayern Munich, now coach for Manchester City, share her anguish about brutality by Israel via her instagram.
“That ridiculous commentary set the tone for much of MSNBC’s coverage throughout the weekend, where many hosts seemed determined to say, ‘Well, what about the Palestinians?’” Abrams said, pointing to Velshi’s comment that American politicians had released “boilerplate” statements in response to the attacks with “no nuance, no recognition of anything that has been going on.”
The criticism of the three MSNBC hosts — three of the most high-profile Muslim on-air personalities on the network— seems vastly disproportionate to anything they’ve said on air. Their comments are far from the seemingly somewhat fringe but highly publicized American pro-Hamas apologia that has been expressed in some corners of social media and on some college campuses, and have more to do with long-running debates between Hasan, in particular, and pro-Israel writers than anything that happened this week.
The concern for Palestinian civilians did not, as NewsNation host Dan Abrams claimed, “set the tone” for the network’s coverage throughout the weekend. (Abrams also mocked MSNBC for referring to Hamas “militants” despite the fact that NewsNation has also used the same label, and MSNBC has called them terrorists). MSNBC has hosted figures across the political spectrum who support robust Israeli military action in Gaza.
Morning Joe contributor Donny Deutsch condemned Hollywood for what he said was its silence on the attack. The network even brought on critics of its weekend coverage. During a Monday panel on Morning Joe, Anti-Defamation League president Jonathan Greenblatt alluded to clips of MSNBC he’d watched over the weekend, saying the network was too sympathetic to Hamas.
“I must say, I love this show, and I love this network, but I’ve got to ask, who’s writing the scripts? Hamas?” he asked.
The reality is that the tone on American cable news over the past several days has been similar across the networks and across the American conversation. Journalists have delivered news about the brutality of the attacks, while dozens of commentators and pundits have condemned Hamas’ violence and expressed varying degrees of support for the ongoing aggressive Israeli military response.
NBC did not release a statement about why it pulled Mohyeldin in 2014. And when I wrote an article about Hasan and Mohyeldin’s coverage of the flare-up in 2021, MSNBC did not make either host available for comment. MSNBC appears to be avoiding any suggestion that it could be aligned with a view that’s more centered on Palestinian civilians, and trying to protect itself and its Muslim stars by putting them in the roles of correspondents and analysts, not at the center of its programming.
The BBC is refusing to describe the Hamas attackers as “terrorists,” a decision which the news organization said was rooted in the belief that it was a loaded label “which people use about an outfit they disapprove of morally.” “It’s simply not the BBC’s job to tell people who to support and who to condemn — who are the good guys and who are the bad guys,” BBC world affairs editor John Simpson wrote. The exterior of the BBC studios in London was sprayed with red paint on Saturday morning in protest against the channel's coverage of the ongoing Israel-Palestine war.
The attack on Israelis last week has the potential to split the WOKE, the progressive left, which in recent years had successfully eroded some of the support for the Israeli government among American liberals. [Double Digit] millions of American voters, mostly WOKE, helping Biden won 2020 election, will never forget that Joe Biden was a joyful accomplice in the Gaza Genocide. Blaming the left for not being able to crack the bipartisan hostility toward Palestine (as if the suffering isn’t sufficient enough) that has been rooted in geopolitical structures for the entirety of Israel’s existence is some scumbag shit, but punching left never fails.
Indeed, to God Allah SWT we belong and to Allah SWT we shall return
American-Israeli content creator Ethan Klein broke down while speaking about Palestinians killed by Israeli air strikes in Gaza as he co-hosted the Leftovers podcast on Thursday. Palestine is winning the media war. Now not only to Ethan Klein. Humza Yousaf, Scot leader, try to undermine a lot of Caucasian about Israel brutality. When Americans and Caucasians who’ve been brainwashed suddenly wake up and humanize Palestinians, this happens. This is why, no matter what corner of the internet we occupy, it’s important to combat disinformation against Palestine.
Israeli sources reporting that US has given Israel and Netanyahu the green light to confront any threat on any front and in any geography.
Plestia Alaqad | بلستيا العقاد is Journo in Gaza. But currently her instagram activity, 30 hours ago. At least until 2 days, she insists to still posting everything horror - massive bombing by Israel in Gaza every hour, push herself to search every chance of electricity and cellular access to spread information inside Gaza. Telco Ministry of Israel cut off internet to Gaza since 00.00 but at least 2 ‘popular Gazans’, literally in inside Gaza, Refaat [tweets 11am local time] and Jason Shawa [tweets 7am local time] to say hi ‘we still alive, but don’t know next day.
