VIDEO: Ben Shapiro Slams ‘Egregious’ CNN Comments Claiming Dee Family Members Were Killed in ‘Shootout’

By 05/11/2023 7:48 PMNo CommentsBy YidInfo Staff

On Thursday, traditional Jewish podcast presenter Ben Shapiro attacked CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, who incorrectly stated that three members of the Dee family (HY” D) were killed in a “shootout.”

Islamic terrorists shot and killed Lucy Dee and her children Maia and Rina while traveling in their car on Pesach.

In reaction, Shapiro tweeted the video and wrote: “Amanpour has always been an anti-Israel propagandist. This is only the most extreme example.”

Shapiro wasn’t the only one who took issue with the remarks; the website “Honest Reporting” also tweeted: “According to @CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, three members of the Dee family “were killed in a shootout.”

“In a firefight, both sides engage in armed combat. Palestinian terrorists opened fire on a mother and her two daughters at close range. @amanpour, you owe an apology to a troubled family.

In his opening remarks during an interview with Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh on April 10, Amanpour said the following:

A young Palestinian child, age 15, was killed by Israeli security forces after being shot by them.

Additionally, we have the mother of two Israeli-British sisters. The mother passed away due to her injuries after being slain in a shootout.

Even though the episode aired a month ago, the tape appeared to be widely circulated on social media for the first time on Thursday of this week.

There hasn’t been any word of a CNN or Amanpour apologies or retractions in the weeks since the clip aired.
