Egyptian woman goes viral for confronting CNN correspondent over biased coverage of Israel-Gaza war

Video clips of a woman confronting a CNN correspondent at the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Palestine’s Gaza, have gone viral on social media.

As reported, it was Egyptian podcaster Rahma Zein who confronted CNN reporter Clarissa Ward at the Rafah crossing.

“We’ve been watching your channels…Where are our voices?” Rahma Zein questioned.

She exclaimed: “We ask you to condemn! Where are your condemnations? Where is your channel (CNN) covering this? Cover this! Say the truth!”

Ward, who was listening from a distance, came closer to the young podcaster to respond, Zein stopped her from speaking and continued saying: “I understand you have your foreign policy. I understand you speak for your government. I understand you represent your government, but with that being said, you’re a country that has claimed ‘free speech.’

“Your customized democracy is actually what led to Hamas and now we are watching an occupation. We are watching the result of your silence, of your misrepresentation of Arabs, of your dehumanization of Arabs. What do you have to say for yourselves?”

“We stand with Palestine. We stand with Arabs,” Zein can be seen saying in the video before calling out the Western media for “controlling the narrative” and pressing that the voices of Arabs, who “suffer for it”, need to be heard as well.

 

 

 

Listening to the young girl anguished by the cruel world she had witnessed around her, Ward requested her for an interview.

Zein questioned, “Will you even air it? Will you edit it?”

However, her interview was aired by BBC Arabic as it already went viral.

 

CNN is facing backlash over the West’s biased media coverage of the Israel-Palestine conflict.

For those unserved, CNN’s Clarissa Ward conducted a live broadcast from a ditch near the border to the Gaza Strip after being forced to take cover amid rocket fire.

Addressing her news anchor, Ward said: ‘Forgive the inelegant position but we have just had a massive barrage of rockets coming in here not too far from us, so we have had to take shelter here by the roadside.’

‘We are just about five minutes away, Gaza is in that direction. We can hear now a lot of jets in the sky we can also hear the iron dome intercepting a number of those rockets as they were whizzing overhead and making an impact.’

Ward reported that the location was ‘ground zero’ for the Hamas militia where terrorist fighters were ‘spraying lead’ from a pickup truck down the street.

However, CNN’s stunt was busted for faking an attack in Israel for The Camera!

On the other hand, CNN slammed the video of correspondent Clarissa Ward terming it ‘fabricated, inaccurate’ showing her taking cover in a ditch on the Israel-Gaza border as rockets fire overhead after it went viral.

And what happened at the Rafah crossing a day earlier, the world saw it online.
