With an assist from the indispensable people at the pro-Israel media watchdog group CAMERA, our friends at National Review exposed CBS News’s longtime Gaza producer Marwan Al Ghoul on Tuesday as having what they described in their headline as a “as history of antisemitic, anti-Israel commentary” and even wondered if Jewish people are actually human. Despite this and Facebook posts dating back over a decade, Al Ghoul has remained employed and provided daily footage of what he (and Hamas) want the world to see. To be clear, wondering if Jews are actually human beings and cheering on Allah to wipe out the United States and Israel? Totally acceptable to CBS News. But grilling Ta-Nehisi Coates with questions on topic such as Israel’s right to exist, like CBS Mornings co-host Tony Dokoupil did? Unacceptable! Enterprise and media reporter Ryan Mills noted that, while Dokoupil was dragged through the mud and subjected to a Struggle Session, Al Ghoul’s views haven’t received attention despite having “displayed a clear anti-Israel bias and...alleged that Israel is engaged in a genocide” and using his son as a cameraman with views of his own. Mills explained that “National Review has reviewed the Al Ghoul Facebook posts CAMERA flagged, which pre-date the October 7 attack, as well as other seemingly one-sided posts he has made over the last year” as well as ones from his sown. Unsurprisingly, CBS News has avoided Mills and refused to comment. Mills said a review found Al Ghoul has repeatedly “accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, a false but common belief among Palestinians” and, on the one year anniversary of Hamas’s attacks, Al Ghoul had lamented “the Genocide War.” On July 23, Al Ghoul boasted on Facebook of “an American doctor...narrat[ing] his horrific observations of the Israeli army’s crimes against children”. Mills added that, in a January 12 post, Al Ghoul “thanked South Africa, which was making the case at the United Nations that Israel was committing genocide.” A few weeks earlier on December 22, 2023, Al Ghoul lashed out at Israel’s “revenge on Gaza” and accused Jews of having a “bloodshed instinct” and desire to “carry out assassinations” When it came to a harrow Israel Defense Forces (IDF) raid that rescued four hostages, Al Ghoul’s concern was for the casualties in Gaza as a result. Mills noted he also hasn’t expressed particular anger at the actions of Hamas that triggered the war. In fact, he shared that Al Ghoul asked Allah for “patience and victory” for his people during the attacks.  Most disturbingly, he wondered in 2022 if Jews are humans and said in 2018 that Israel was America’s “off-spring and industry”, so he hoped Allah would destroy both (click “expand”): While Al Ghoul has been a regular critic of Israel and its army over the last year, he does not appear to have expressed any criticism of Hamas or the October 7 terror attack. Rather than condemn the attack, Al Ghoul took to Facebook on October 7, writing in Arabic that Palestinians were at a crossroads. He asked Allah to provide patience and victory. Al Ghoul’s criticism of Israel predates the current war in Gaza. In a December 2018 post flagged by CAMERA, Al Ghoul wrote that the United States is the world’s greatest empire, alleged that Israel could not exist without the U.S., and predicted that both would disappear or were about to go down, according to translations. In addition to criticizing Israel, Al Ghoul has also questioned the humanity of Jews themselves. In a long Facebook post in May 2022, he wrote about a young girl he met at Al-Shifa Hospital who had been injured in an Israeli attack. The girl asked him why she’d been burned and if Jews were human, too, he wrote. Al Ghoul wrote that the girl’s question summarized his 34-year career. “Are Jews really human like us??????” he wrote. He also “liked” several comments on the post, including one that called Jews “Zionist, Nazi killers,” and another that said Jews were “not human at all” but are instead “monsters in human form,” according to a translation. CAMERA also highlighted a Facebook post Al Ghoul made on October 7, 2018, the day that a Palestinian terrorist shot and killed two young parents with a submachine gun at a West Bank industrial park. Al Ghoul wrote in Arabic that the West Bank was embracing Gaza, adding “hands down” or “blessed are the hands,” a common expression of approval. An analyst for CAMERA told National Review the post was clear praise for the West Bank attack. “You cannot interpret it otherwise,” the analyst said. Mills also didn’t have any luck retrieving comment from Al Ghoul’s son, other than his declaration that he was in Turkey. Regardless, Mills found even more disturbing contents from the son, Fares Marwan Alghoul, including the celebration of “Palestinian terrorists and terror attacks against civilians” (click “expand”): Al Ghoul’s son, Fares Marwan Alghoul, who identifies himself on Instagram as a CBS News cameraman, appears to have even more explicitly praised Palestinian terrorists and terror attacks against civilians over the years. On November 15, 2012, a day that Palestinian militants fired hundreds of rockets into Israel, targeting Tel Aviv and killing three people in an apartment building in southern Israel, Alghoul praised the attack as God’s promise fulfilled. Eight days later, he appears to have praised a terrorist bus bombing. More recently, Alghoul appears to have celebrated a 2022 terror attack during which a Palestinian gunman killed five people. Alghoul wrote on Facebook that it was a day for a feast, adding a victory emoji. Rewinding to the beginning, Mills started with one of the tribute pieces done to Al Ghoul on October 8’s CBS Evening News to mark one year since the war began, which started with Hamas’s horrifying terror attacks on innocent Israelis. Al Ghoul said he was “very angry” about what’s happened to Gaza and Gazans only “want to be free.” Gee, free, how? Free of Jews? Here was the one CBS Mornings aired: This was the 'CBS Mornings' first-person report from CBS News's Gaza producer, Marwan al-Ghoul, on October 8, 2024.

The organizers of a Christmas parade in Tennessee angered many on the left after they included a statement of faith in their parade application. For decades, folks young and old have gathered for the annual Christmas parade in Cookeville, Tennessee, a city of 35,000 residents about an hour and a half east of Nashville. In recent years, the Cookeville-Putnam County Chamber of Commerce, a nonprofit, hosted the event. However, in 2024, a private group mainly comprising members of local churches took over the event. In keeping with the season honoring the birth of Jesus Christ and this year's theme of "Celebrating the Light of CHRISTmas," organizers included in the parade application a statement of faith that recounts basic tenets of Christianity. The statement of faith affirms belief in Jesus as the second person of the Trinity, the circumstances surrounding His birth, and the primacy of the Bible. The statement also reiterates Christian teaching on social matters, including gender, marriage, and the dignity of the human person: "Marriage is exclusively the union of one genetic male and one genetic female." "God’s plan for human sexuality is to be expressed only within the context of marriage." "God instituted monogamous marriage between male and female as the foundation of the family and the basic structure of human society." "Human life is sacred from conception to its natural end." 'Maybe the church groups involved just didn’t want to catch gay cooties.' Contrary to reports, those submitting an application to participate in the parade need not personally believe everything listed in the statement of faith. Instead, the application asks only that they initial below the statement to acknowledge that they have read and understood it. The application further requires all participants in the parade to "act in alignment" with the statement of faith to keep the event family-friendly. Thus far, Cookeville officials have seemingly washed their hands of the parade and the organizers' statement of faith. "The City had nothing to do with the handoff to this group and still has nothing to do with the production or operation of the Christmas parade. The private group simply applied for a temporary street closure for a parade, as any other private group is permitted to do and as any kind of parade-type event requires," city officials said in a statement posted to Facebook. "It is extremely unfortunate that something like a Christmas parade has become such a controversial event in this day and time, but the City of Cookeville government is not involved with this event at all. Any requirements by this private group concerning participation in the parade are not enforced by, are not approved by, and should not be attributed to the City of Cookeville." A Substack called the Friendly Atheist went farther, describing the statement of faith as a form of "bigotry" and insisting that the parade is "no longer a celebration of the holidays" because of it. "The event has become even more explicitly Christian," the atheist writer railed. "Jews are not welcome. Atheists and Muslims and LGBTQ people are not wanted." The word holiday, of course, derives from the concept of a "holy day" on the Christian calendar. Cookeville resident Antonio Pedro is likewise appalled by Christians adopting a Christian statement of faith for a Christian event. He and others, including the owner of a "little witchy shop" in Cookeville, have attempted to organize a more "inclusive" counter-event "to get the Christmas parade to what it once was to where the community comes together as a community and not just a religion." One reason they and other leftists are so incensed that Christians control this year's Christmas parade is that Upper Cumberland Pride — a local group of sexual deviants, according to biblical standards — was denied the privilege of participating in it last year. "It was stated when asked why that they saw it as 'a kid/family event' [and] that we might not be kid/family-friendly,'" UCP told WKRN. UCP characterized the denial as a capricious act of exclusion, but in fact, even a secular group like the chamber of commerce was right to be wary of UCP's participation in a Christmas parade meant for children and families. "Our theme was 'Don we now our gay apparel.' We were planning to come out in contour [sic] fashion and voguing," said Upper Cumberland Pride president Jessica Patterson, according to the Friendly Atheist. "Oh no! Voguing! It’s the leading cause of death for children if you ignore guns and pools and peanuts!" the Friendly Atheist sneered. "Did they think the voguing would injure someone? ... Maybe the church groups involved just didn’t want to catch gay cooties." Blaze News reached out to the current parade organizers but did not receive a response. Like Blaze News?
