On September
8, The Nation announced the hiring of Mohammed El-Kurd as its
first-ever “Palestine Correspondent.” El-Kurd, a student at the City University
of New York’s Brooklyn College, said he would be writing about
“Palestinian resistance without burrowing in the sand,” using language that is
“loyal to the Palestinian street.”
El-Kurd will
publish his first essay about the Arab-Israeli conflict in the coming days,
introducing the magazine’s million followers to his radical viewpoints, as
HonestReporting detailed in July.
Indeed, for
those who have followed the writer since he gained notoriety by protesting
against Jews seeking to reclaim ownership of properties in the eastern part of
Jerusalem that were confiscated from them between 1948 and 1967 when Jordan
occupied the holy city, El-Kurd’s skewed interpretation of “journalism” is
crystal clear.
In fact,
El-Kurd’s Twitter feed demonstrated what The
Nation’s latest addition defines as “Palestinian resistance;” that is, the
murder of Jewish Israelis. Just two days before his hiring was announced, he
rejoiced as six Palestinian terrorists broke out of Israel’s maximum-security Gilboa Prison.
“I am going
to bed with a smile on my face and dreaming of the day all prisons are
abolished,” El-Kurd tweeted, calling the incident “excellent.” Nevertheless, El-Kurd called the recapture of four of the
terrorists a “heartbreaking development.”
Moreover, The
Nation’s new correspondent regularly downplays war crimes by Hamas, another
US-designated terrorist organization.
El-Kurd has incited violence and glorified
terrorism, recently stating that he mourns “all of our
[Palestinian] martyrs.” He previously lauded Popular Front for the
Liberation of Palestine member and two-time airplane hijacker Leila
Khaled.
El Kurd’s
support for Palestinian terrorists dovetails with his long history of
shockingly antisemitic remarks. For instance, El-Kurd in May called the Israel Defense Forces
“sadistic & bloodthirsty,” a slanderous charge reminiscent of medieval
blood libels. Similarly, he shared an Instagram post that
promoted claims that the Jewish state deliberately kills Palestinians to
harvest their organs.
He has
furthermore said that Israel “kills,” “blows up,” “burns” and “tortures”
Palestinian children in order to “instill terror” in them (see here, here, here and here). The so-called correspondent has gone so
far as to describe Israel as a “child killing entity” — an overt example of
Jew-hatred according to the widely adopted IHRA definition.
In an equally repulsive Twitter post, El-Kurd
claimed — without proof — that “Holocaust survivors” threw Molotov cocktails at
his home. He also accused a Hong Kong-based Jewish author of
“ethnically cleansing” and “Kristallnachting” Palestinians, the latter being a
reference to the Nazi-initiated pogrom in Germany in 1938
that various historians mark as the beginning of the genocide of some six
million Jews.
While
El-Kurd’s claim to fame is that he “reports” on events in Jerusalem, he
all-too-often simply disseminates lies. On May 10, for example, El-Kurd posted a video to Twitter that he claimed
proved Israelis were “readying themselves” to “invade” the Al-Aqsa Mosque. In
reality, the clip showed Jews praying at the Western Wall.
El-Kurd
conjured up a bogus story about a
stabbing attack by Israeli “settlers.”
One needn’t
be a journalist to reach the conclusion that El-Kurd’s history of spreading
fake news, antisemitism and inciting violence should disqualify him from
informing The Nation’s readership on the Arab-Israeli conflict.
That said,
The Nation is known for its anti-Israel bias. In the last few months alone, it
charged Israel with “colonialism,” “official racism” and “mass expulsions.”
Moreover, the magazine has repeatedly peddled false accusations that Israel
practices “apartheid”, and gave a platform to the mother of a confirmed Palestinian terrorist to
suggest her son was innocent.
With the
hiring of El-Kurd, though, The Nation has plunged to new depths in its ongoing
campaign to tarnish the Jewish state.
