Snip:

Prominent Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif and five others were assassinated in an Israeli airstrike on a media tent at Gaza City’s Al-Shifa Hospital late on 10 August.

Journalists Mohammad al-Khalidi, Mohammad Qureiqaa, Ibrahim Zaher, Moamen Alaywa, and Mohammad Nofal were killed alongside him.

“The number of martyred journalists [since the start of the war] rises to 238 after the announcement of the martyrdom of journalist Mohammad al-Khalidi, joining his five colleagues killed in yesterday’s massacre,” Gaza’s Government Media Office said in a statement on 11 August.

“We hold the Israeli occupation, the US administration, and the countries complicit in the genocide – such as the UK, Germany, and France – fully responsible for committing these heinous, brutal crimes. We call on the international community, international organizations, and all bodies concerned with journalism and media around the world to condemn the occupation’s crimes, work to deter it, prosecute it in international courts for its ongoing crimes, and bring its criminals to justice,” it added.

The bullshit accusation is that Anas Al-Sharif, one of the journalists killed, was a Hamas member, and even a leader of a Hamas cell, which somehow he did as a side hustle during the moments in between constantly recording and reporting on conditions in Gaza.

The documents that (I think) the IDF posted on Twitter to try to substantiate this (which may be forged) indicate that he was part of Hamas's military branch in some capacity up until a few months before Oct 7th, but due to shelling or something like that, he had damaged hearing and vision and was deemed unfit for combat and released from duty.

As Hasan regularly says, if the IDF's own professed standards for valid military targets and practices were universalized, Iran could nuke Tel Aviv and it would be considered a legitimate military action.

They've all formerly been in the IDF! They're all terrorists!

That's giving the Israelis too much credit. They totally just typed in some rando names, screenshotted it, and posted it. Something like this:

JOE BIDEN CODENAME: GENOCIDE JOE

KAMALA HARRIS CODENAME: I'M SPEAKING

DONALD TRUMP CODENAME: TEFLON DON

ELON MUSK CODENAME: V0Y4G3R
