Commentator from The Hill fired for abusive treatment of sister of Hamas hostage
Brianha Joy Gray, a political commentator at The Hill, was fired for offensive treatment of the sister of hostage of Hamas in Gaza:
Political commentator Briahna Joy Gray was fired from The Hill, where she co-hosted the morning news talk show “Rising”, days after rolling her eyes at the sister of a hostage being held by Hamas in Gaza.Some more background for the kidnapped woman is here:
Gray came under fire after video of her treatment of Yarden Gonen, the sister of Romi Gonen who was kidnapped by Hamas on October 7, during an interview on Tuesday.
When Yarden told Gray that she hopes she believes female victims who say they were raped by Hamas terrorists on October 7, Gray rolled her eyes and abruptly ended the interview.
Gray announced on her social media account that she had been dismissed from The Hill, sharing a copy of the dismissal letter she received while claiming the decision was politically motivated.
“It finally happened. The Hill has fired me. There should be no doubt that ‘Rising’ has a clear pattern of suppressing speech -- particularly when it's critical of the state of Israel,” she wrote.
An outlet spokesperson confirmed to The New York Post on Thursday that Gray was no longer employed at The Hill.
Gray had previously been criticized for comments about the war in Gaza, including ones made at a panel last weekend that Hamas was not seeking to kill all of the Jews in Israel.
“When Hamas is talking about eliminating Israel, it’s not about killing all the Jews, it’s about.. eliminating the idea of a Jewish state” and establishing a state like “what we have here in the United States,” she claimed.
Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) expressed outrage at Gray’s comments, writing on social media, “Briahna Joy Gray claims that Hamas has no interest in killing all the Jews in Israel. It only wishes to establish a state ‘like what we have here in the United States.’”
“To Gray, October 7th was not a massacre of Jews. It was simply an attempt at democracy-building by Hamas,” he added.
The 23-year-old Romi, a choreographer who Yarden described as someone who loves to paint and work with autistic children, was among those kidnapped from the Nova music festival on October 7. After hiding for hours, Romi was ambushed by terrorists, resulting in her being shot and taken.Gray has only so much abominable statements to her record, it's horrifying. She's received condemnation, even from Torres, as was noted before:
“Mommy, I’m afraid. I don’t know what to do. I don’t know where to go,” were the last words she spoke to her mother on the phone amidst the chaos.
Gonen, who is a nurse, described how terrorists, some as young as 18 years old, had dragged her sister by the hair, debated whether to kill her, and pistol whipped her head until she blacked out while kidnapping her to Gaza.
While Gonen insisted that the “entire free world is at risk” because of Hamas, Gray persistently attempted to put the blame for the hostages’ fate on Israel and not Hamas.
In response, many expressed outrage on social media over Gray’s callousness.Naturally, it's chilling when you have women desensitized to violence, which is easily even more disturbing than when men are. Gray has no business working in journalism, and is an embarrassment. She'd do well to just leave the public sphere and not work in the profession anymore.
“The family member of an Israeli hostage pleads with Briahna Joy Gray to believe Jewish women who have been abducted, tortured, and raped by Hamas. Instead of projecting empathy, as a normal person would, Gray rolls her eyes, her mouth dripping with contempt,” wrote Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY).
“Gray has a hatred for the Jewish State so visceral and fanatical that it renders her cruelly indifferent to the value of Jewish life,” he added.
“This woman, Briahna, is so filled with antisemitic contempt it’s almost unbelievable. I’ve never seen an interviewer display such a disgusting unprofessional and disrespectful attitude towards their own guest,” wrote journalist Emily Schrader.
“Is it really that hard to stand against sexual assault — as a woman no less?!” she added. “I think we should send Briahna to Gaza.”
