Rivera’s stance is deeply at odds with the overall tenor of Fox’s coverage of the conflict, especially from its high-profile opinion hosts who are widely seen as keen backers of Israel and supporters of its military strikes.
Rivera was asked by the Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum if he was “sympathetic” to Tlaib’s position. “I am indeed, Martha,” he replied. “People have to recognize what the Gaza Strip is. It’s one of the most menacing places on Earth that I’ve ever reported from.” Hamas wants it this way Rivera, wake the "F" up old man. If the people there got freedom they would not want Hamas in charge, amazing what bullets can do.
He added: “It’s effectively one of the world’s largest prison camps and it is being bombed with bombs supplied by the United States. It’s outrageous that we gave Israel these hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of weapons without insisting on a ceasefire now.”
Rivera told viewers that sales of US arms to Israel “makes us complicit in an ongoing crime against humanity”.
“I want our audience – the fact that the United States of America is providing Israel many of the weapons Israel is using today to kill Palestinian civilians without demanding a ceasefire, Tlaib is right.”
The on-air Fox News confrontations continued with Hannity cutting Rivera off after he said it was “abhorrent” that Palestinian children died in bombings.
The exchanges come as a number of prominent entertainment industry voices in the US have come under intense online and professional pressure to curb public expressions of support for Palestinians.
“It’s free Palestine til Palestine is free!!!,”(learn history you dumb ass) the Palestinian American model Bella Hadid posted on Instagram several days ago, and received 4.5m likes – or about 1/10th of her following.
Some who voiced support, including the reality (watch my sex tape) star Paris Hilton, who wrote, “This is so heartbreaking. This needs to stop. #SavePalestine”, have taken down their posts. Meanwhile others, including the musicians John Legend and Cat Power, have left theirs intact. Who is John & Cat?
The Staff: Listening to this Terrorists loving Rivera makes me sick. Old man, if you want this to stop, talk to Hamas or Iran about the problem. Iran supplies the missiles and Hamas launches. If they wanted peace they could have it but Hamas want ALL JEWS dead. They launch and don't care how many children or women die and yet Israel tries to control where their rocket hit.
