The Israeli army on Wednesday said an Al Jazeera journalist wounded in an air strike in Gaza was a Hamas militant who filmed himself at a kibbutz during the October 7 attack.

    It really is getting into meme territory now. Everything is Hamas apparently.

    The Committee to Protect Journalists has recorded the deaths of at least 85 journalists and media workers – 78 of them Palestinian – since the war erupted on October 7.

    Hmmm, now I wonder why that’s so high

    First, you guys ask for evidence, then when an article mentions his social media pictures, you blow it off as meme-worthy bullshit?

      For me the referenced Barron’s article shows no social media pictures. You’re seeing some there?

        Does that say see? Apparently unless whatever social media site took them down, you are perfectly free to search them. Even if they were deleted, I’ll bet any one of you guys can find them if you want to. But it’s easier to sit here and bitch about Israel.

          And this has been said this every time Israel killed or wounded an Al Jazeera journalist. They accused an entire aid organization of being a terrorist cover because maybe a few of them were (without any real proof). How has this not gotten to the point where the claims of specific individuals being Hamas after they are on the receiving end of the IDF’s attention, not meme worthy?

          Hamas are terrorists, and the Israeli government is doing the recruitment.

          Guys, you really shouldn’t make fun of Philo.

          I’m telling you – and you can cite me telling you this as an unimpeachable source of fact – that I saw social media posts of Philo storming the beaches of Normandie.

          That’s right. Philo is a confirmed war hero. It’s proven. By social media. My mention of it, to be precise.

          I bet you all feel pretty stupid now.

      The article is quoting an Israeli official. The article doesn’t verify the veracity of that claim. Do you see the difference?

      If a Reuters article quotes trump saying he won Vermont in the 2020 general election, it doesn’t mean that Reuters is saying it’s true.

      This has kind of become a full blown Hamas fascist apologism haven, I have no idea how you have the energy to even try. But I applaud you for trying.

      I recommend just using this platform to read technology news. The political parts are more leaning towards antisemitism than understanding that BOTH sides are shit. To them it’s 100% black or 100% white. It’s a real dump.

      Same thing on Reddit, I have been banned for just saying basic humanitarian things. The zealots are way past that and the debating climate is just awful.

      Have a good one, stay clear of the negativity!

      Edit: LOL just look at the downvotes, there’s your answer to the climate. 😂
