The New York Times published an op-ed by Dr. Hussam Abu Safyia last year about how awful things were in Gaza from his vantage point at the Kamal Adwan medical center in Gaza. Clearly they thought he was a reliable witness, as most media treats Gaza doctors.
But if you read what some of them say in Arabic, one wonders about their truthfulness.
Dr. Safiyia, who now says he is the Director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, is quoted in Palestine Today as accusing Israel of engaging in "germ warfare" in Gaza.
Director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, Dr. Hussam Abu Safyia pointed out that medical teams detected diseases that were foreign to the sector and were unable to diagnose them due to the lack of medical equipment.He also stressed that they are facing germ warfare, calling for activating the vaccination system in the Gaza Strip.
Yeah, sure. Israeli scientists are devising germs that do not perish when they are dropped in bombs. Or maybe IDF soldiers are spending time dropping germ-infested objects around Gaza.
This is just another blood libel. But good luck waiting for the New York Times to admit that the person they platformed is an antisemitic conspiracy theorist.
