A New York Times reporter who came under fire last year for a praising Adolf Hitler in multiple resurfaced Facebook posts was rehired by the Gray Lady to cover the Israel-Palestine war. 4 Palestinian filmmaker Soliman Hijjy is freelancing for the New York Times again — recent bylines at the news giant revealed — one year after the journalist came under fire for eulogizing Hitler. Once Israel denied any involvement, the Times swapped it out with one that said: “Hundreds Dead in Blast at Gaza Hospital, Palestinians Say.”“Mr. Soliman Hijjy praises Hitler, and the NYT rehired him,” Erdan tweeted Friday. New York TimesSalem went on to blame an article by HonestReporting, which pointed to his pro-Palestine Facebook posts, as reason for his firing.
