US pundit Briahna Joy Gray fired after interview with sister of Israeli captive

A talk show host in the United States has been fired after a backlash over her interview with the sister of an Israeli captive.

Briahna Joy Gray said on Thursday that The Hill had terminated her employment as a co-host of the online talk show, Rising. Gray said in a post on that X that her firing reflected a “clear pattern of suppressing speech – particularly when it’s critical of the state of Israel”.

During an interview with Yarden Gonen, the sister of Hamas captive Romi Gonen, on Tuesday, Gray sighed and rolled her eyes after Gonen said the host should believe women who say they were victimised by Hamas.

“I really hope that you, specifically, will believe women when they say that they got hurt,” Gonen said.

Gray has previously questioned claims that Hamas carried out rapes during the group’s October 7 attacks on Israel.

Gray, who served as the press secretary for Bernie Sanders during his 2020 presidential campaign, last month attracted criticism when she said during a panel discussion that Hamas’s calls for the elimination of Israel did not mean it was calling for the killing of all Jews in the country.

Oh well, that's it for The Hill: Rising then. She was indeed the critical one on the channel.

Briahna getting fired is such a shame really, she gets fired for an eye-roll after the guest has tried repeatedly to push disproven lies and IDF narratives throughout the interview. Meanwhile, BS pro-Israel narrative and falsified stories go unchecked. 

USA is AIPAC's bitch. 

An inappropriate facial expression by a pro-Palestine voice = fired. Constant lies by Pro-Israelis voices = cool.

The theory on You Tube is that she was fired for this interview. The eye roll was just an excuse more easily sold to the pro-Israel crowd while not drawing attention to the video below. Much easier to be outraged over an eye roll than actually listening to what she said.
