NBC News has once again proven that journalistic integrity takes a back seat when it comes to Israel.
In its latest disgraceful lie, the headline referred to the Palestinian terrorists released by Israel as “hostages.”
Really?
Let’s be clear: The ONLY hostages are the innocent Israelis kidnapped by Hamas.
The socalled “Palestinian prisoners” were TERRORISTS, convicted for slaughtering Israelis in cold blood!
“Palestinian hostages.”
Seriously, @NBCNews?!
They were imprisoned by Israel for terrorism. The only hostages are the Israelis and others kidnapped and held captive in Gaza by Palestinian terrorist orgs. pic.twitter.com/561mfmOIxs

Think about how insane this is—NBC is portraying murderers as if they were innocent victims! Let’s review exactly who these “Palestinian hostages” really are:
– Zakaria Zubeidi – A leader of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, responsible for multiple deadly suicide bombings that butchered Israeli civilians.
– Mohammed Abu Warda – A Hamas terrorist who orchestrated bombings that blew up families and murdered innocent people.
– Mohammed Odeh, 52, and Wael Qassim, 54 – both convicted of carrying out brutal attacks on Israeli citizens.
– Wissam Abbasi, 48 – A terrorist deeply involved in plotting attacks designed to massacre Israelis.
These monsters are NOT hostages—they are murderers and terrorists!
NBC’s headline is not just misleading; it’s an insult to every victim of Palestinian terrorism.
By using such deceptive language, NBC is actively engaging in propaganda, equating innocent hostages with convicted killers.
Eventually NBC made a correction, but how could this happen in the first place?
The damage was done.
