He is a Hamas member, and he was not elected to the post, but installed by Hamas as a warlord.

The New York Times refused to disclose this fact to readers.

He also cites claims of casualty counts that come from Hamas "authorities" only, and have not been confirmed by any third party.

A guest op-ed in the New York Times by Gaza City's Hamas-appointed mayor, Yahya R. Sarraj, decrying damage to buildings as Israeli forces have worked to free hostages has drawn equal measures of ridicule and disgust.

The essay was released on Christmas Eve and sought to outline examples of destruction in Gaza after Hamas terrorists killed and kidnapped Israeli, American and other civilians on Oct. 7.

It was entitled: "I Am Gaza City's Mayor. Our Lives and Culture Are in Rubble"

Sarraj wrote of his hurt and pain at the "invasion" causing the destruction of infrastructure in the aftermath of deadly Hamas terrorist attack.

The Israeli invasion has caused the deaths of more than 20,000 people, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, and destroyed or damaged about half the buildings in the territory. The Israelis have also pulverized something else: Gaza City's cultural riches and municipal institutions.

The unrelenting destruction of Gaza -- its iconic symbols, its beautiful seafront, its libraries and archives and whatever economic prosperity it had -- has broken my heart.

He condemned without irony or self awareness the "obliteration of our way of life in Gaza," and said he felt he was living in a nightmare thanks to the "horrific campaign of destruction and death" but did not call for the release of the hostages which would help end the attacks by Israel.

I can't find it now, but Marxist Media is now complaining that Israel is bombing Gaza's "luxury" apartment buildings.

As many pointed out -- Marxist Media has been claiming that Gaza is a, quote, "open-air prison."

Only for a brief moment after Israel bombs some of Hamas' leaders luxury condos does Marxist Media admit this "open air prison" has "luxury apartment buildings."

Meanwhile, a Hamas front group calling itself "Doctors Against Genocide" was planning a protest/takeover of The Holocaust Museum to draw attention to the fact that Hamas terrorists are sad.

As usual: They only care about Muslim deaths when some farcical number of casualties they just made up can be blamed on Jews.

But it will probably happen tomorrow anyway, with "Doctors Against Genocide" claiming they have nothing to do with it because they "called it off."
