A renowned CNN Correspondent Sara Sidner, has issued an apology following a controversial statement she made during a live broadcast stating that the Israeli Prime Minister's office had confirmed that the Hamas had beheaded babies in Israel.

In her apology, Sidner acknowledged the need for caution and precision when reporting such sensitive and disturbing information. She admitted that her previous statement, suggesting that the Israeli Prime Minister's office must have proof if they were confirming these acts of the Hamas beheading babies, was not an appropriate choice of words.

“Yesterday the Israeli Prime Minister's office said that it had confirmed Hamas beheaded babies & children while we were live on the air. The Israeli government now says today it CANNOT confirm babies were beheaded, “ she tweeted adding that “I needed to be more careful with my words and I am sorry. The words I used were the PM's office must have proof if they are confirming this. Then President Biden confirmed seeing it. And then backed tracked," she said.

Many leading social media activists have called for her resignation over the misinformation and have demanded accurate reporting over the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine.

The problem with Britain and America is that most of the Jews of Europe, almost all of them poor and working class , had fled to Britain and America in the 19th and the 20th centuries until the start of World War Two. But their children and grand children , unable to fully assimilate into British or American society , have focused on either business or education and have become very influential in Britain and America. So many American Politicians and Journalists are Jews and similar situation in Britain. The present American Secretary of State’s grand parents are poor Jews who fled to America from Europe. So, how can we expect him to be not be biased against the Palestinians in dealing with this present crisis. Jews in America will not allow whoever be the American President to force Israel not to commit atrocities against the poor Palestinians.

I would urge my countrymen, to listen to the speech of Colombian Gustavo Francisco Petro at UN session. He shows the racism and hypocracy of the western world on human rights.
