Gazan journalist Soliman Hijjy – who has worked for the New York Times – has tweeted the following without the faintest sense of self-awareness:
Looking at Hijjy, I’d say Gaza’s “famine” is real hard to describe.
In case someone wants to claim it is an old photo of Hijjy and he now looks emaciated from the “famine”, here he is in May:
And note that he does claim to be personally affected by the “famine”:
We are no longer able to move and travel due to the interruption of fuel and transportation, and we are already exhausted due to the lack of food and water.
—
Unfortunately, every new day of work is more difficult than the previous one due to the lack of transportation and also because of our inability to obtain the food that strengthens us and water that quenches our thirst.
But I do feel a bit for Hijjy.
We try to transmit the sound of empty stomachs…
It must be hard transmitting the sound of empty stomachs over his own belching.
Now don’t get me wrong. I believe there are hungry people in Gaza (thanks to Hamas). But I don’t think there is a famine nor do I think Hijjy is one of the starving ones.
Did I mention that besides being a fat-ass, Hijjy is a real piece of work?
Soliman Hijjy was hired by The New York Times even though his hatred of Jews and the Jewish state may well have impaired his ability to carry out assignments — which included selecting “potential interview subjects and witnesses” — without bias.
Case in point: in November 2012, Hijjy praised Adolf Hitler on Facebook. “How great you are, Hitler,” the freelance journalist wrote on the social media site, sharing a meme featuring the Nazi mass murderer. Six years later, on December 26, 2018, he doubled down: in a caption accompanying a picture of himself, Hijjy stated he was “in a state of harmony as Hitler was during the Holocaust.”

In addition to his admiration for Nazism, Soliman Hijjy seems to be a mouthpiece for the US-designated Hamas terror organization that controls the Gaza Strip. On more than one occasion, he has justified war crimes against Israeli civilians by describing indiscriminate rocket attacks as “resistance” (see, for example, here and here), in one instance even referring to the Israeli city of Ashkelon as “occupied al-Majdal.”
So don’t feel too sorry for him over his inability to gorge himself on twinkies.
