Los Angeles Times reporter Adam Elmahrek, who dismissed reports that Hamas terrorists raped Israeli women during their Oct. 7 attack on the Jewish state, was met with a surprise outside of his office on Wednesday. A billboard truck circled the Times office while displaying a social media post from Elmahrek that said there was "no evidence to support" the "Hamas 'rape' claim," photos obtained by the Washington Free Beacon show. Elmahrek is still employed by the Times and published an article as recently as Dec. 10. He has at least one influential ally at the paper—Nika Soon-Shiong, daughter of billionaire Times owner and executive chairman Patrick Soon-Shiong. Nika in late October denounced Israel as an "apartheid state" and said journalists should be able to call it as much in their reporting.
