Oddly enough, the Foreign Press Association protested, and the rule was scrapped. Most “journalists,” however, would have obeyed with alacrity.
“Hamas issues, rescinds sweeping regulations on journalists in Gaza,” JNS, August 10, 2022 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
(August 10, 2022 / JNS) Hamas issued and then withdrew sweeping restrictions on foreign journalists working in the Gaza Strip in the aftermath of this week’s conflict between Israel and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, according to the Associated Press.
The restrictions included a ban on coverage about PIJ rockets falling short in Gaza and causing injuries and deaths, as well as a general rule requiring that Jerusalem be blamed for the latest escalation, according to the report.
The Foreign Press Association, which represents international media in Israel, announced that the regulations were scrapped following discussions with the terrorist group….
Sponsors would have also been required to inform Hamas of “any suspicious behavior or illogical questions” by foreign journalists, and to submit a full report of what journalists did in Gaza, in addition to links to all published works….
In one instance, a PIJ rocket misfired and caused an explosion in a residential area of Jabalya that killed numerous people, including four children. While Palestinian media initially reported that the deaths were caused by an Israeli airstrike, the IDF refuted the claim by releasing footage of the incident.
Meanwhile, during a live broadcast on Aug. 7, Lebanon’s Mayadeen TV caught a PIJ rocket malfunctioning and coming down in a Gaza neighborhood. A few moments later, a voice is heard instructing the cameraman, who followed the missile’s course, to “please, turn the camera away, turn the camera upwards.”…

this is very much like what journalists have said about the taliban in afghanistan regarding what they are doing there, demanding that the news reporters lie or be ejected/expelled from the country…but the taliban have not rescinded the rule.
mozlums everywhere are against the Truth. They are taught to lie, and they lie about everything, and then insist that others lie also in order for the Truth to remain hidden. they cannot afford to let the world know just how evil islam is and how much is done to further the evil demands. Threats are a large part of the demands made to conceal the Truth, the goals, the ways and means to reach the goals.

Hamas orders foreign journalists to lie about ‘Palestinian’ rockets falling short and killing ‘Palestinians’

Good to hear that the Foreign Press Association actually protested this–and so sad that we should have to be surprised by this.

I would expect zero integrity or honesty from the vicious, low life scum from Hamas. I’d expect to hear the truth from them to the same extent that I’d expect to ever get the truth from the scum who run China or the scum from Putin’s Russia. I never believe any of the bullshit from any of these vicious creatures. The concept of telling the truth doesn’t exist for them. All that matters to them is what would help their evil cause at any particular moment.

Quiet please. This is actually something I agree with. People, that isn’t one of our own missiles you see coming down on you. Meanwhile, Sargent Schultz knows nothing and Colonel Hogan was unavailable for comment.

The old expression….The truth hurts…. has never been relevant than it is today.

Hamas had to order them? I thought that most ‘journalists’ would have voluntarily covered up their role w/o question
