On Sunday, The New York Occasions ran an op-ed by Yahya R. Sarraj, Hamas’ handpicked Gaza Metropolis mayor. The choice to offer a worldwide platform prompted outrage for amplifying “Jew hate.”
The op-ed — titled “I Am Gaza City’s Mayor. Our Lives and Culture Are in Rubble” — condemns Israel for “caus[ing] the deaths of more than 20,000 people” and for destroying or damaging “about half the buildings” within the Gaza Strip.

Sarraj refers back to the “Israeli invasion” of Gaza as a response to the “deadly attack by Hamas” but fails to acknowledge the depths of depravity by Hamas in opposition to harmless civilians.
Sarraj can spare a second of condolence for animals within the Gaza Zoo which have been killed or starved, however he ignores Hamas’ use of sexual assault and sexual crimes in opposition to ladies as a instrument of warfare.
He cannot be bothered to deal with what Hamas did to innocent babies.
The Occasions was taken to job on social media for offering Sarraj a platform.
Keep in mind when the @nytimes journalists misplaced their minds and a chief editor needed to resign as a result of they ran an op-ed by a sitting US Senator?
Nicely now the New York Occasions is working opinion items written by Hamas.
Are their journalists outraged?

Sure, Gaza Metropolis’s Mayor is a Hamas member.
And sure, this was clear to the New York Occasions earlier than publication. pic.twitter.com/SSBCommDaf
