is basically the same things like the public face of a nonprofit organization based in Washington state called the People Media Project.

And so the freed Israeli hostages sue them.

Um, and their defense was, well, he's not really a correspondent.

He's a contributor because they changed his title after this happened on their website.

And they said, even though he was writing for us actually two to three times a day after October 7th, uh, it was on a voluntary basis.

So we, you can't prove that we actually gave him money.

And so I, and, uh, in working with your team,

went through the website, and what we found was really interesting.

They boast about an event that they held in Gaza, ostensibly just to give free haircuts for Palestinian children.

And this is an article written by that man, who is an official writer, and he talks about his wife, the woman who was killed in the raid.

doing this event for the Palestine Chronicle.

And they refer to her essentially as a staff member.

They say this is our initiative coordinator for the event.

Our staff put on this event.

And they slip up enough that they actually say funds for this initiative was raised from personal donations by Palestine Chronicle editors.

Now, what does that mean?

That means money passed.

from that Washington state-based organization, the Palestine Chronicle editors, to the wife of this main hostage holder, who she was also involved in there.

So their defense of, well, our writer, yes, was holding Israelis hostage and writing for us while holding them hostage, but he can't prove that he gave them money.

What we found in their own words, they gave money to his wife.
