https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/gaza-man-arrested-alleged-involvement-october-7-2023-terrorist-attacks

Quote

According to court documents, Al-Muhtadi is an operative for the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine’s (DFLP) military wing, the National Resistance Brigades (NRB, also known as the Martyr Umar al-Qasim Forces), a Gaza-based paramilitary group that participated in the Hamas-led terrorist attack against Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.

As alleged, on the morning of Oct. 7, 2023, Al-Muhtadi learned about the Hamas invasion, armed himself, gathered others, and crossed into Israel with the intention of assisting in Hamas’s terrorist attack. According to the complaint, Al-Muhtadi’s phone utilized a cell tower located near Kibbutz Kfar Aza in Israel – the location of a horrifying massacre by Hamas and its supporters resulting in the deaths of many civilians, including at least four American citizens.

In addition, Al-Muhtadi allegedly provided false information in his U.S. visa application relating to his involvement with a paramilitary organization, connection to Hamas, participation in a terrorist attack, and military training. Al-Muhtadi swore to the accuracy of numerous materially false statements in his visa application with respect to at least his affiliation with DFLP, the NRB, and Hamas, his training, and his involvement in the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks. According to U.S. Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection records, Al-Muhtadi entered the United States on Sept. 12, 2024.

You done fucked up, A-aron!

Seriously.....walking right into the arms of a nation state that will happily ship his ass to Gitmo was perhaps not the wisest choice.  I do love watching fuckheads get what they deserve.

BBC broadcast a documentary where the narrator was the son of a Hamas Deputy 
Minister and didn’t bother to note that in the broadcast. 
 

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c629j5m2n01o

Quote

The BBC committed a "serious breach" of broadcasting rules by failing to disclose that the narrator of a documentary about Gaza was the son of a Hamas official, UK media regulator Ofcom has ruled.

An Ofcom investigation into Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone has concluded that the programme was "materially misleading".

The BBC's director general has previously apologised, saying there had been "a significant failing in relation to accuracy".

Ofcom has ordered the BBC to broadcast a prime-time statement about its conclusions.

Quote

The documentary centred on a 13-year-old son of Hamas's deputy minister of agriculture.

Hamas is proscribed as a terrorist organisation by the UK, Israel and others.

Ofcom's statement said: "Our investigation found that the programme's failure to disclose that the narrator's father held a position in the Hamas-run administration was materially misleading.

"It meant that the audience did not have critical information which may have been highly relevant to their assessment of the narrator and the information he provided.

"Trust is at the heart of the relationship between a broadcaster and its audience, particularly for a public service broadcaster such as the BBC.

"This failing had the potential to erode the significantly high levels of trust that audiences would have placed in a BBC factual programme about the Israel-Gaza war."

Misleading the audience is "among the most serious" breaches that can be committed by a broadcaster, it said.

The on-air apology ordered by Ofcom is the regulator's first sanction on the BBC since the scandal over Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand's comments to actor Andrew Sachs on Radio 2 in 2009.

Clicked the link to read the rest of the story and found this. So, the BBC fucked up by not doing a background check and apologized. Ofcom's review, however, apparently found no evidence of familial influence.

So, this is the son, a 13-year-old kid, seemingly wandering around the rubble. Based on the info provided above, I was imagining something more nefarious.

I hadn't heard of, nor have I watched, this documentary, so I have no way of judging whether it was overly biased. Fortunately, it looks like it can be viewed on YouTube. It's about an hour long, in English, and this version includes a disclaimer that the kid is the son of a deputy agricultural minister. Thanks for letting me know this documentary exists, as I'll be sure to watch.

I'm not clicking to view that video on a website by a man who threw up a Heil Hitler at a political rally, who has reinstated multiple neo-Nazi accounts on this same website that you support through your views and clicks, who stole and opened up all of our personal data to who-the-fuck knows, who dangerously hacked away at vital government services and eliminated the jobs of thousands of civil servants in the process, and who bankrolled and continues support the the charlaton who’s driving everything good about this country into the ground.

Give me another link, and I'll happily check out whatever mistranslation is purported.

Strange that a terrorist is in America. I wonder how that happened. I wonder how many more are here.

By applying for a visa.

And, you have to believe the government as to these allegations.  Do you?

Have we ever discussed the views of Netanyahu's podcasting adult son, Yair?

His very first guest was the son of Bolsonaro, noted reich-wing Brazilian demagogue who tried to overturn democracy down there, and a member of Steve Bannon's political organization in Europe, The Movement, which in turn has the support of Victor Orban and France's Marine Le Pen?

Let's see what else this guy is all about:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yair_Netanyahu
Views and opinions
According to Haaretz, Netanyahu uses social media "for the benefit of spreading lies, defamation and slander against those who are perceived in his eyes as enemies of the camp headed by his father".[28] He is known for defending his father on social media.[29][13][30] Netanyahu has also published his opinions in Breitbart News, an American far-right[31] news and opinion website.[32] In late 2017, Netanyahu posted a meme on Facebook portraying his father's political opponents as puppets controlled by George Soros; the meme garnered support from US white nationalists, including David Duke, and neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer which described itself as "The World's #1 Yair Netanyahu fansite".[29][33][34] Netanyahu later deleted the post following backlash.[29]

In December 2018, he was suspended from Facebook for 24 hours after posting anti-Muslim content.[35][36][37] One of Netanyahu's comments read: "There will never be peace with those monsters in the form of men that have called themselves 'Palestinians' since 1964".[29]

In March 2019, he was asked to leave his work at the Israel Law Center, an NGO that provides legal services to terror victims, after criticizing President Reuven Rivlin for his efforts on behalf of Arab-Israeli coexistence.[10]

In May 2019, Netanyahu expressed support for right-wing nationalist figures Viktor Orbán, Matteo Salvini, Nigel Farage and Geert Wilders in the 2019 European Parliament election.[38] In the same month, some observers hypothesized that Netanyahu was looking for a job in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,[39] although Netanyahu has denied that he is looking for a political career.[29] In June 2019, Netanyahu met with Katrina Pierson, a senior advisor for Donald Trump's 2020 presidential campaign.[10]

In July 2019, Netanyahu expressed support for British anti-Islam activist Tommy Robinson, during the latter's imprisonment by British authorities.[40]

In September 2019, Netanyahu accused former Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin, who was assassinated in 1995, of having "murdered Holocaust survivors on the Altalena". The comments were disavowed by his father.[41][42][43] He has compared Roni Alsheikh, the Israel Police chief who played a role in the Netanyahu corruption investigations, to the fictional mobster Tony Soprano.[29] While being questioned by police during the investigations, Netanyahu called the police "Stasi" and "Gestapo" and said they were worse than the mafia. He also accused Nir Hafetz and Gideon Saar of various crimes.[44]

In May 2020, the far-right politician and Alternative for Germany (AfD) member Joachim Kuhs used a quote from Netanyahu in his campaign graphics. Following this, Netanyahu urged the AfD to work towards stopping German funding for NGOs operating in Israel.[45]

During the 2021 Israel–Palestine crisis, Netanyahu claimed a 2013 video from Egypt was an example of Pallywood and showed Palestinians faking their casualties.[46]

After the Israeli military police in July 2024 visited Sde Teiman detention camp to detain nine Israeli soldiers suspected of abuse of a Palestinian prisoner, Netanyahu commented that the prosecution of the soldiers was "criminal and anti-Zionist".[47]

Legal issues
In January 2018, a scandal erupted when a recording of Netanyahu's visit to a Tel Aviv strip club in 2015 was leaked. In the recording, Netanyahu discussed strippers and referred to a controversial gas deal recently passed into law.[48][49] Netanyahu apologized for his remarks.[50] He filed a lawsuit for 1 million NIS ($272,000) against his driver, who allegedly recorded the conversation.[51]

On 7 July 2019, he won a libel suit against Israeli Labor Party activist Abie Binyamin for claiming that Netanyahu was hiding millions in offshore accounts.[52]

In November 2019, Netanyahu was sued for slander after sharing a Facebook post claiming that former Walla news site editor Avi Alkalay was a plant for the Wexner Foundation.[53] In February 2020, he was ordered to pay damages and legal costs totalling $81,000.[54][55] Netanyahu appealed the decision, but his appeal was rejected by the Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court in July 2021.[56]

In January 2025, an appeal of a lawsuit previously filed by Yair Netanyahu against former Knesset member Stav Shaffir for publicly calling him "a liar, an evil man, a racist and a sexual-abuser" was rejected by the court, and Netanyahu was forced to compensate Shaffir for her legal fees, in addition to compensation after losing the initial court case.[57]
