RUTHFULLY YOURS

ABC News recently hired a new reporter to write about politics, including U.S. policy toward Israel–a Harvard student journalist who has accused Israel of “atrocities” and who has praised the pro-Hamas protesters on his campus.

Tommy Barone, a junior at Harvard, was the lead author this week on a coauthored news feature for ABC News.com about what Kamala Harris’s policy agenda will look like. It included a section on what her policy will be towards Israel and Gaza.

But can Barone claim to be a neutral, objective reporter when writing about Israel?

On May 8, Barone authored a lengthy op-ed in the Harvard Crimson—where he is an “Editorial Chair”—attacking Israel and giving the pro-Hamas protesters helpful advice on how to improve their image.

“A significant proportion of faculty and students—myself included— believe Israel is committing atrocities in Gaza,” Barone wrote. He denounced what he called “the indiscriminate violence Israel is inflicting on the Palestinian people.”

Barone also wrote: “You would be hard-pressed to find an injustice more unambiguous, more immediately persuasive, than the live-time, live-streamed mass death of over 13,000 children [in Gaza].”

After attending the inauguration of Iran’s new president among the festive chants of “Death to America” and “Death to Israel”, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh found death waiting for him. 

“We always shout: ‘Death for the sake of Allah is our loftiest aspiration,’” Haniyeh had claimed. 

The Hamas billionaire who lived in luxury in Qatar hadn’t actually wanted to die, but he should have been careful what he wished for before the missile granted him the death he cheered for. 

After the Hamas atrocities of Oct 7, Haniyeh had declared that we need the “blood of the women, children, and elderly” to awaken the “revolutionary spirit”. But his his dreams of killing all the Jews and seizing Israel ended when he left the protection of U.S. terrorist “allies” like Qatar and Turkey, and visited Iran.   

Haniyeh never left Iran. 

Earlier, Israel had taken out Fuad Shukr, the number two figure in the Hezbollah Islamic terrorist group, still wanted by the United States for his role in the Marine Corps Barracks bombing in Beirut which killed 241 American military personnel. It followed that up by taking out Haniyeh even as he was staying under the terrorist regime’s military protection in the heart of Tehran. 

Allies from Doha, Moscow, Beijing and D.C. to CAIR to BLM to the BBC mourned his death. 

“Never say that those martyred in the cause of Allah are dead—in fact, they are alive!” CAIR San Francisco head Zahra Billoo tweeted. “Tonight, we mourn Ismail himself but know his martyrdom is not in vain.”
