| Fady Hanona |
Former New York Times Gaza stringer, Fady Hanona had contributed to six of the paper’s eight articles on Operation Breaking Dawn, until HonestReporting uncovered his anti-Semitic Facebook posts. On Friday, the former newspaper cut ties with him because it doesn't look good to keep him on board.
Of the eight articles the Times produced during the recent escalation of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, an Iranian-back terror group, six credited Hanona as contributing from Gaza City.
Hanona is a freelancer and had also been hired by The Guardian, VICE News, and the famously anti-Semitic BBC. His reporting clearly indicated his sympathy toward the anti-Zionist, pro-Palestinian terror organizations' ideology of the total destruction of the Jewish State.
During 2014’s Operation Protective Edge against Hamas in Gaza, Hanona went on social media to threaten the murder of Ghassan Alian, an Israeli Druze who commanded the IDF’s Golani Brigade at the time. That doesn't sound like objective journalism but still the Times and other outlets were okay with his reporting.
On August 18, 2014m just days before a ceasefire took effect between Israel and Hamas, this so-called reporter urged the Palestinian “resistance” to reject a truce and continue its missile attacks on Tel Aviv, which had at that point already cost the lives of five civilians.

He went so far as to invoke Adolf Hitler to support his point about the strength of Gazan fighters. “As Hitler said, give me a Palestinian soldier and a German weapon, and I will make Europe crawl on its fingertips,” Hanona’s posted, citing an unconfirmed quote attributed to Hitler, a guy responsible for the Holocaust and the murder of 6,000,000 Jews.
Hanona had shared a now-deleted propaganda video of terrorist groups in Jenin on his Facebook page. He tells his FB followers that Palestinians should return to “the culture of fighting and killing Israelis.”
Hitler really would have been proud of him.
“I don’t accept a Jew, Israeli or Zionist, or anyone else who speaks Hebrew. I’m with killing them wherever they are: children, elderly people, and soldiers,” Hanona asserted, adding: “The Jews are sons of the dogs… I am in favor of killing them and burning them like Hitler did. I will be so happy.”

A spokesperson for the New York Times told media outlet The Algemeiner on Friday that, “The New York Times had worked with this freelance reporter only in recent weeks. We are no longer doing so.” But they are no friend of Israel nor the Jews.
Now all we need is for the BBC, VICE News, and The Guardian to follow The Times' lead. And may get the IDF or Mossad to find this guy and talk to him.
