NEW YORK -- CNN has removed correspondent Diana Magnay from covering the Israeli-Palestinian conflict after she tweeted that Israelis who were cheering the bombing of Gaza, and who had allegedly threatened her, were “scum.”

“After being threatened and harassed before and during a liveshot, Diana reacted angrily on Twitter,” a CNN spokeswoman said in a statement to The Huffington Post.

“She deeply regrets the language used, which was aimed directly at those who had been targeting our crew," the spokeswoman continued. "She certainly meant no offense to anyone beyond that group, and she and CNN apologize for any offense that may have been taken.”

The spokeswoman said Magnay has been assigned to Moscow.

Magnay appeared on CNN Thursday from a hill overlooking the Israel-Gaza border. While she reported, Israelis could be heard near her cheering as missiles were fired at Gaza.

After the liveshot, Magnay tweeted: “Israelis on hill above Sderot cheer as bombs land on #gaza; threaten to ‘destroy our car if I say a word wrong’. Scum.” The tweet was quickly removed, but not before it had been retweeted more than 200 times.

The removal of Magnay comes a day after NBC News pulled Ayman Mohyeldinfrom Gaza.

NBC's decision to remove the widely praised Mohyeldin, and unwillingness to explain why, has been met with anger and frustration from journalists inside and outside the network.

A source with knowledge of the decision told The Huffington Post that NBC executives cited security concerns. But at the same time Moyheldin was pulled, NBC assigned chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel to Gaza.

One of Mohyeldin's tweets and Facebook posts were recently deleted, a move that has fueled speculation that his social media use could have been the cause for his removal. But the source said the reason given internally by network executives was security.

can someone explain to me like I'm 5 why this is the case?

can someone explain to me like I'm 5 why this is the case?

Various reasons:

1) Some Christians, including a few politicians, believe that Jews have to be present and in control of that land so Jesus can return, kill them all and send them to hell.

2) White European Jews are overly represented in key components of America society given their total population (~3-5 million out of 307 million): business leaders, media, entertainment, banking, economics, government, judicial branch, wealthy. Not all of them are Zionists, but a good majority support their own (as most groups do). A lot of it has to do with discriminatory hiring or promotion based on essentially favoritism. A lot of it has to do with historical access to money (Christians and Muslims were forbidden to engage in interest loaning of that kind for quite some time). A minority think that these White European Jews are genetically superior in some way. Whatever the case may be, there is no doubt that white european jews make a good chunk of the ruling class in America. All oligarchies serve to appease the ruling class by definition.

3) AIPAC is a huge lobbying firm with a lot of power. They can make or break politicians. They provide free vacations to Israel for congressmen.

4) Censorship in the media, blackmailing, and threatening of career suicide.

5) Some people see Israel as the front-line to the War on Terror

6) Some people see Israel as the only true ally in the region. The sole democracy that happens to provide massive amounts of intelligence to the US.

7) There is a small number of Jewish politicians who pretty much govern as representatives of Israel. For example, in New York State, a politician essentially proposed a bill to gut the 1st amendment because he didn't like the student body of an educational institution protesting Israeli government policy.


It's important to note that not all Jews fit into this. There are black Jews, Sephardic Jews and non-Zionist Jews who don't benefit at all. Anti-Zionist Jews are often blackballed or marginalized all the same, regardless if they are of white European ancestry. Even in Israel there is a minority of Israelis publicly protesting their government and their invasion of Gaza, and they are receiving major backlash and non-coverage.

America should loves the taste of Israel's cum.

Some of you nikkas go too far with your hyperbole. The Saudis, the Israelis, the Duvaliers, the Pinochets etc all exist/existed to serve the Holy American Empire, don't get it twisted. This is just a weapon sales program. 500 milly, just another day at the White House
