Don’t expect the NY Times to report this awful Hamas detail
As the war between Israel and Hamas rages on, Americans continue to be swayed into supporting a terrorist group via leftist media coverage.
Dave Rubin and former Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Ron Dermer see right through the media’s playbook.
“Hamas is doing things that most people in the West cannot believe even occurred, even when they see the video,” Rubin says, adding, “So, you’re fighting a physical war, and then, there’s also the ideological war and the PR war and everything else.”
While there was a widespread, brief moment of sympathy for Israelis in the immediate aftermath of October 7, that quickly changed once the propaganda took over.
“There are so many different forces that will try to present a distorted picture. They’ll forget about what happened on October 7, they’ll forget about the hostages, and we still have 134 that are being held there in Gaza,” Dermer says.
While the media has reported on Hamas using its own people as human shields, there are some horrifying details it has left out.
“I must tell you something I did learn in this war is that Hamas doesn’t build tunnels under schools, they actually build schools over the tunnels. That’s what I’ve seen,” Dermer explains, adding, “this is a strategy for Hamas.”
This strategy is a winning one because the media then blames Israel for the casualties.
“I don’t have any problem with people in the media showing the pictures that are tragic of every single civilian casualty in Gaza, but just lay it at the doorstep of Hamas. They’re the ones who are responsible,” Dermer says.
This misplaced blame has far-reaching consequences.
“By actually blaming Israel for this, what they’re telling every terror organization around the world is you should use human shields because it works,” Dermer says, adding, “so, all of those people around the world are blaming Israel for what is happening in Gaza, they’re not only endangering Israel’s security, they’re endangering the Palestinians.”

BlazeTV host reacts to watching 47-minute video of Oct. 7 Hamas attacks: 'I am changed as a human being'
Dave Rubin is in Israel this week interviewing citizens and learning the truth about what the country is going through — the tragic reality our mainstream media loves to sugarcoat and ignore.
Today, he was shown a 47-minute reel of raw footage of Hamas’ October 7 attacks.
But those 47 minutes were enough to make the entire day “extremely emotional.”
“Beheadings by hand with knives, throwing grenades into bomb shelters with children in them, burning people alive — it’s just beyond imagination,” he says, adding, “I feel changed, actually, as a human being after watching it.”
He then headed north toward the Lebanon-Israel border.
For those who don’t know, “Lebanon, in many ways, is a failed state that's now controlled by Hezbollah, which is really just an arm of Iran,” says Dave, “and they have something like 200,000 rockets facing Israel right now, and they’re shooting rockets in constantly.”
Because of these attacks, “80,000 Israelis have been evacuated from this part of the country” and are now “living more in the middle of the country.”
“Interestingly, as horrific as everything was on October 7 with Hamas, down south, everyone is saying the real war is the ... upcoming war with Hezbollah,” says Dave.
Something else people might not know is that “there's about 2 million Muslims that live in Israel as citizens, and they're helping right now. They are not violently revolting, they don't want to leave.”
“There's just so many misconceptions,” says Dave.
