"Christiane Amanpour wrote me a brief email apologizing for any misunderstanding that might've been caused by the fact that she called it 'killing by a shootout,'" he added. "Of course, it's not worth the paper it's printed on, because when you make a statement in front of a hundred million people on prime time television and then you apologize in an email to a single person, it has one one-hundred-millionth of the impact." Dee also told i24NEWS about his "interesting" conversation with the head of CNN's Jerusalem bureau, noting that, "It did make me wonder the level of humanity."

Amanpour has always been wrong, especially on the middle east. Cnn-ism and Haaretzism the same difference.

She sure hates Jews and Israelis. Period. And her reporting reflects that.

This is a person who had a painting hanging in her apartment that glorified the 9/11 WTC attacks.

Christine Amanpour is a dead woman walking. She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2020. Only 10% are alive after 7 years.

Update:

"Less than 24 hours after Rabbi Leo Dee announced, at the memorial lecture for.. Yoav Boteach, his plans to sue @CNN for $1.3 billion for defaming and desecrating the memory of his martyred wife and two daughters, CNN, and one of its most distinguished anchors, Christiane Amanpour, was forced to capitulate and retract their nauseating lie about how they were murdered." Stating she will apologize on air.

This illustrates just how these sloppy/malicious ‘journalists’ personally editorialize the news, AS IF no one will notice or that everyone will accept their BS!

It’s been going on a very long time!

Her children are not Jewish unless they are his children by another Jewish woman, or they converted. Only Jewish if your mother is Jewish. I have followed her for many years, and she has always been pro Palestinian and anti Israel. I don’t know if she is anti semitic or not. Many Israeli Jews had Israel as well, but I know many mixed marriages where the Jewish Husband hates the non Jewish wife, and vice versus. She has reported for decades like she hates Jews, so maybe she does.
