Shah Mahmood Qureshi Spoke About Israel Controlling The Media & CNN Thinks That’s Anti-Semitic, Like Seriously?

Pakistan Federal Minister, Shah Mahmood Qureshi, lambasted Israel for its interventionist policies, illegal occupation, and terrorism in Palestine during an interview with CNN anchor, Bianna Golodryga.

OMG, this is a must-see: Discussing Israel's actions in Gaza, Pakistani FM said Israel has "deep pockets" and "they control media," prompting an impressive pushback from CNN's @biannagolodryga 👇 pic.twitter.com/BuxqtsDpo1

Qureshi went on to say that a ceasefire from Israel is possibility because of the mounting public pressure, and the pressure of public opinion on social media. He commented the truce is inevitable because “Israel is losing out.”

Israel is losing the media war, despite their connections, Qureshi said, condemning Israel for controlling the media in silencing Palestinian voices.

Golodryga, who was interviewing Qureshi about Israel’s massacre in Gaza, asked “What are their connections?”

To this, FM responded, “Deep pockets,” compelling Golodryga to ask, “What does that mean?”

“They’re very influential people,” the Minister replied. “I mean, they control media.”

After this remark, the CNN anchor completely deflected the conversation and blew his comment out of proportion.

Golodryga said, “I mean, I would call that an anti-Semitic remark.”

Bianna totally disregarded the fact that Qureshi had nothing to say about Jews but only of Israel’s illegal occupation and injustices to the people in Gaza.

Twitterati were quick to call her out on her lack of judgment to teach her a thing or two about “anti-Semitic remark.”

So in a nutshell Shah Mahmood Qureshi exposed international media on the biggest international media news channel CNN. Bravest muslim!!!

Now CNN is hideously ignoring his comments and using the word antisemitism for face-saving.

It was as if planned!!!

One user defended Shah Mahmood Qureshi after his CNN interview, saying that in this day and age of social media, you can’t fool people anymore. They’re watching and understanding everything and you can’t feed them lies anymore.

He also prayed for the freedom of Palestine.

This interview is the proof of the connections Mr. Foreign Minister was talking about. But don’t worry, in the age of social media you can’t control the narrative anymore. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. https://t.co/HTraqtZ1nD

People were quick to react in telling CNN that the world is now becoming woke and feeding a certain narrative to them won’t work now.

Its NOT accusation rather a pathetic attempt to cover up. @SMQureshiPTI hit a raw nerve there and @CNN started a failed mantra. If @CNN keep on dancing at #israelrealterrorist tunes then it will be put on leash accordingly. Period. World is awake times are changing.
