Izzat al-Rishq’s remarks came shortly after the Israeli army announced that it had discovered the bodies of six hostages in Gaza, asserting that they had been killed by Hamas.
“The ones who kill our people daily are the Israeli colonizers with American weapons. The hostages found in Gaza were not killed by us but by the relentless Zionist bombardment,” Rishq said in a statement.
He further criticized the U.S., saying, “If President [Joe] Biden truly cares about the lives of Israeli hostages, he should cease his support for this enemy with money and weapons and pressure Israel to end its aggression immediately.”
So you believe PBS isn’t verifying their sources and it just airing Israel’s narrative?
And again, do you seriously believe any sane news outlet is going to out their sources in this context? Why didn’t you answer the first time I asked this? You know what you’re doing-- you’re pulling the Trump tactic of saying "any anonymous source saying something I don’t like is lying"
Edit: Downvotes but no replies, so I’m guessing you rubes genuinely think PBS just aired this story with zero vetting/verification. I’m sure Bibi told them to air and it and said "just trust me bro". I’m all for being critical of Israel, Netanyahu, the IDF but some of you have just gone off the deep end. Downvotes but not a single person willing to answer whether or not they think any sane news outlet would out their sources like this.
Of course lmao. We have seen 10 months of airing whatever lie israel comes up with. Especially if they’re quoting “anonymous sources”.
Mainstream newspapers even help israel in making up propaganda and straight up lie for them. In case you missed it :

Sometimes the IDF information turns out true. Most of the time not. Just await independent results before quoting israel as if they are factual in any way. When Hamas and the IDF provide contradicting information it’s not possible to quote one of them as fact.
