CNN Under Pressure To Fire Despicable Christiane Amanpour After She Claimed Jewish Hostages Were ‘Treated Better’ Than Gazans
CNN’s veteran anchor Christiane Amanpour landed in hot water after claiming that freed Israeli hostages were “treated better” than Gazans. The shocking comment, made live on air, drew immediate backlash from viewers and pro-Israel groups.
It was not a good day for Amanpour, a British-Iranian "journalist" whose name has become synonymous with Israel- and America-bashing.
Amanpour was one of the sour-faced media figures who, while talking about the hostages being released, seemed to fret about Hamas supposedly losing their "leverage" in the deal. What was inarguably worse, however, was her claim that the hostages were "probably being treated better than the average Gazan, because they are the pawns and the chips that Hamas had."

Violent clashes have erupted between Hamas and rival groups in several areas across Gaza, including an incident that culminated in an apparent public execution, as worries grow about the security situation following Israel’s withdrawal from parts of the territory.
Reports of violence have been shared widely on social media channels, with one particularly gruesome video that was shared by Hamas-affiliated channels showing a group of masked fighters, some of whom are wearing green Hamas headbands, killing eight blindfolded people in a square in Gaza City while large crowds are watching, a possible sign of the brutality Hamas is using to reassert itself as the security force.
CNN has verified the location where the video was filmed, the al Sabra neighborhood in western Gaza City.
The detainees — all of whom appear to be adult men — are seen being dragged into the square, hands tied behind their backs. Some have been partially stripped and are barefooted.
Some of the fighters are seen forcefully hitting some of the prisoners as they are lined up to be executed. The fighters cheer after shooting the detainees.
Palestinian Resistance Factions, a lose alliance of Hamas and Hamas-allied groups including Palestinian Islamic Jihad, commended what it called a “security campaign being carried out by the Ministry of Interior and National Security in Gaza to enforce the law and pursue those who violate it, including collaborators, mercenaries, thieves, bandits, and those cooperating with the Zionist enemy throughout the Gaza Strip.”
@JSul3 he’s protecting his country from attacks and threats as would any great leader. I would expect Trump to defend America from any invasion of America with force greater than the one that attacked us
