Diary of disturbing disinformation and harmful delusions
This charge:
“An Al Jazeera journalist, Ahmed Wishah . . . was killed this past Saturday by an Israeli strike.” — Mayor Mamdani, Monday
We say: As half of his case for calling AIPAC, which promotes US-Israeli ties, a “monster,” Hizzoner urged Israel had killed an harmless journalist.
Yet proof reveals Wishah was half of Hamas’ army wing and thus a risk to Israeli troops and civilians; Israel says he helped plan latest sniper assaults and labored along with his brother, a senior Hamas weapons-production operative.
