Journalists at CNN have slammed Israel in social media posts, with one calling out the "Zionist entity" online, according to a report from a media watchdog. "Your precious 'Israel' ... was injecting women of Ethiopian origin with the long-acting contraceptive (sterilizing them)," CNN producer Mohammed Abdelbary said in 2021 in a now-deleted X post. Abdelbary has made anti-Israel posts on social media as far back as 2014, when he said "fuck Israel" and that he hopes the country gets "crushed by the Palestinians." Another journalist named by HonestReporting is British cameraman Richard Harlow, who has claimed on social media that Israel is committing war crimes, including harvesting the organs of dead Palestinians. Harlow said on social media recently that he has been tasked with editing footage from a local Gazan correspondent for CNN, the watchdog said.
