Two more Palestinian journalists who've worked with The New York Times in covering the Israel-Gaza conflict were caught with anti-Semitic and anti-Israel social media histories. 

Soliman Hijjy, a freelance filmmaker whose work has been featured by the Times between 2018 and 2021, praised Adolf Hitler in a 2012 Facebook post, writing "How great you are, Hitler" in Arabic, according to Akiva Van Koningsveld, editor of the pro-Israel media watchdog HonestReporting.

In a 2018 post, Hiijy shared a photo of himself with a caption that translated to either "I'm in tune like Hitler during the holocaust" or "in a state of harmony as Hitler was during the Holocaust."

In a separate post, he referred to Hamas rocket fire toward Israel as "the resistance."
