The Israeli Defense Forces on Sunday accused a prominent journalist– who in recent months has reported regularly for Al Jazeera from Gaza – of moonlighting as a senior Hamas commander.

The Israeli Defense Forces have published photos they say were discovered on a laptop in Gaza that show Al Jazeera journalist Mohamed Washah engaged in Hamas terrorist activities.

Everyone is a Hamas operative. Journalists, babies... hell, I live in Indiana and I'm probably a Hamas operative.
Is this the new Netanyahu tactic? Magically "find" evidence that anything he doesn't like is Hamas? First the IDF apparently have orders to shoot any journalist they see, then hospitals were magically Hamas command centers, followed by schools, the UNWRA, the UN itself, and now specific journalists by name. So killing 30,000 innocent civilians isn't enough for them? Who's next?

I honestly hope he goes after the US and the UK. That would at least give our politicians cover to cut off his arms supply.
Are they accusing a journalist of being in HAMAS before killing them? That's new.
Israel uses the same techniques as Russia. Behind every attack killing loads of civilians was a valuable target. Behind every person critical of them is some super top secret agent.
Same shit, different day in the States:

In November 2023, the Anti-Defamation League classified protest events led by groups including Jewish Voice for Peace and IfNotNow as "anti-Israel", adding the protests to a database documenting rising antisemitism in the US. ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt labelled the organizations "hate groups".

So the Anti-Defamation League defames U.S.-based Jewish peace organizations. Let that sink in for a moment.
The articles produced by the IDF do not withstand scrutiny as they are. That is before they tick the bingo box checklist stock phrases including allegations about Arab forces, jihad, enemy fighters hiding behind civilians, etc.
Killing journalists is only self defense if you've got war crimes to hide, and Israel's main purpose is to obfuscate war crimes.
Israel accuses yet another All Jazeera Journalist of being Hamas Operative
Looks like the Israeli government tries to diversify from calling each and every (valid) critic "antisemite". Now they call people they don't like "Hamas operatives".
Update: Israel just bombed this journalist and his cameraman while they were reporting in Rafah-North

Turns out everyone who isn’t an Israeli citizen is Hamas. Fuck Israel.
If you haven't been accused by Israel of being a Hamas operative, do you even have a life?
Of course they fucking do.
This came out 4 hours ago.
I mean, they released the evidence. It's pretty impossible to deny he's a terrorist unless you're sticking your head in the sand.
They found a literal photo of the guy loading a shell.
