MUST SEE: @Max Blumenthal & @Aaron Maté just called the Washington Post's Elizabeth Dwoskin live on air, after she emailed The Grayzone saying she wanted to talk to them for an article she's working on about Oct 7.
She said in an email to @Ali Abunimah that her piece is about “efforts to minimize or misdirect information about [the] Hamas attacks on Israel.”
Here's what happened:
Here's the email she sent @Ali Abunimah, and his reply.
She says WaPo describes @Electronic Intifada “as a far left publication” with an “anti-Israel bent.”
Ali: “More accurate labels might be pro-fact, pro-Palestinian rights, pro-international law & anti-genocide.”

Undoubtedly worried by the growing reach of The Electronic @Electronic Intifada's accurate reporting debunking genocidal Israel's fabrications and lies about Oct 7, the @The Washington Post has assigned @Elizabeth Dwoskin to write a hit piece about us. What an honor! Here's her email and my response
The “desert Bedouins” quote that Max & Aaron referenced on their call with Dwoskin:

When @The Washington Post's @Elizabeth Dwoskin was at Columbia, she denied Nakba, claiming there was "no Palestinian nation" and Palestine, with 100s of villages and cities, was home to just a few "desert Bedouins." That's who's assigned to write about @Electronic Intifada columbiaspectator.com/2002/05/03/voi
“Before the British swept in, there was no Palestinian nation. The territory was taken from the ailing Ottoman Empire, and consisted of desert Bedouins without a sense of national identity as we know it today.”

If it weren’t clear enough @Elizabeth Dwoskin was planning an anti-Palestine hit piece from the emails below, check out her timeline. Nonstop pro-Israel propaganda. Screenshot of tweets followed by excerpt from shared articles. More below. @The Washington Post should take her off story.
Watch the full Grayzone livestream here. The segment where @Max Blumenthal & @Aaron Maté call Elizabeth Dwoskin (after discussing the emails that they and @Ali Abunimah received from her) begins around 56:30, but they covered many other topics as well:
