The New York Times defended its decision to rehire a pro-Hitler journalist
from Gaza in the wake of Hamas’s savage attack on Israel on October 7 and
Israel’s subsequent declaration of war.
The media outlet let go of freelance videographer Soliman Hijjy last year
after a pro-Israel media watchdog uncovered a series of social-media posts
showing Hijjy touting Adolf Hitler’s antisemitic views. The Times is now
standing by the journalist.
“We reviewed problematic social media posts by Mr. Hijjy when they first
came to light in 2022 and took a variety of actions to ensure he
understood our concerns and could adhere to our standards if he wished to
do freelance work for us in the future,” a New York Times representative
told Fox News after the news broke this week. “Mr. Hijjy followed those
steps and has maintained high journalistic standards. He has delivered
important and impartial work at great personal risk in Gaza during this
conflict.”
Hijjy has contributed to eight articles for the newspaper since October
12, five days after Hamas terrorists led a surprise attack on Israeli
civilians, killing 1,300 and perpetrating rape, torture, and kidnappings.
In August 2022, HonestReporting, a website that monitors the media for
bias against Israel, published a story about pro-Palestinian journalists
who were covering the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from an antisemitic
perspective. At the time, several mainstream outlets cut ties with the
journalists in question, including Hijjy, as a result of the report.
In 2012, Hijjy posted words of praise about the Nazi leader on Facebook
alongside a meme saying, “How great you are, Hitler.”
