“Historian” Zachary Foster’s Latest Epic Fail

Remember Israel-hating “historian” Zachary Foster, aka the Pelé of kicking own goals?

It’s been a while since I posted about him, but trust me, this one was worth breaking the drought for.

Foster recently embarrassed himself with this tweet response to someone who made the factual claim that Hamas tried to behead Thai workers on October 7 – a response immediately community noted:

But it gets worse for Zach (as it usually does).

You see, here he is applying the same vigorous demands for proof when it came to the recent Dog-gate:

It took me literally 5 seconds to find proof that this Fady Baker is lying.

Type “Fady Baker” in Google and the first result is a B’Tselem testimony of his time in Israeli custody. Guess what’s missing from his account.

That’s right. He makes absolutely no mention of the elephant, ehh, dog in the room (which puts his account of testicle clamps also into question).

And that, in a nutshell (pun intended), is the Zachary Foster problem.

When a claim reflects badly on Hamas, he suddenly transforms into Sherlock Holmes, demanding forensic evidence, multiple corroborating witnesses, and perhaps a notarized affidavit signed in triplicate.

But when a claim reflects badly on Israel? The skepticism vanishes. The standards disappear. The historian forgets to do the most basic thing historians are supposed to do: check the source.
