Fox News Predicts Hamas Quotes, Ignores AIPAC Speeches
The Independent reports Fox News' Raymond Arroyo quip that Zohran Mamdani will 'soon start quoting 9/11 ringleader' for comments on Israel. This alarmist rhetoric, echoed by Laura Ingraham, demonizes a politician for criticizing Israeli policy without a shred of evidence. What they don't mention is that Mamdani, who has explicitly condemned Hamas and terrorism multiple times, is also a vocal
critic of unconditional US aid to Israel. Meanwhile, Fox News hosts rarely question the actual quotes and policies of figures like Benjamin Netanyahu, who in 2002 explicitly dismissed previous peace agreements, stating, 'We won't accept any more Oslobian concepts.' Nor do they investigate the political figures who, like Rep. Ritchie Torres, received over $100,000 from AIPAC in 2022, only to
consistently vote for maximalist Israeli military aid requests, often echoing AIPAC's talking points verbatim. One might wonder which quotes are truly shaping U.S. foreign policy.
