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.
Neither Al Jazeera nor the Qatari government have responded to the Sun’s request for comment.
Israel accuses yet another All Jazeera Journalist of being Hamas Operative
What an unfortunate reality. Hamas has no limits.
Of course they fucking do.
They found a literal photo of the guy loading a shell.
In order to know that, we would need to verify the following:
- The photo is real and not a fake or AI generated one.
- The man in the photo is the journalist and not someone else.
- The context of the photo. What is he actually doing? Just because someone is holding what appears to be a munition doesn’t mean they are Hamas. He could be inspecting it as part of his role in being a journalist.
IIDF literally raided Hammas server farm which was in a tunnel directly under Unrwa command center with all the electricity and optical cables coming from Unrwa itself. Thats probably gonna produce terabytes of intelligence for the next few years.
You would need to verify or the IDF and Israeli intelligence would need to verify?
You can look at the photo yourself and see it’s the same guy and what he’s holding. There are like 16 total photos. It’s clearly the same guy. So, we can dispense with your wild conspiracy theories.
Can you think of another reason he’s holding an Iranian made rocket? Can you think of another reason he’s photographed on different days and times with uniformed members of Hamas while holding weapons used by Hamas and wearing fatigues?
If he was on assignment writing about Hamas and posing for photos, where is the story with the photos?
Guy above me is already tagged as zionist in my app, so don’t even bother.
That said, we’re definitely gonna need context because the pics alone don’t look great. Plus since when does Israel accuse someone of being hamas before killing them?
IDF had intelligence information about him before
I take the IDF’s word like I take Russia’s word. So you can see my struggle here.
Because loading shells, operating terror equipment and commanding soldiers how to shoot RPG is part of casual journalism.
Right?
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.

No, they “found” a laptop. If I were guessing, if it exists at all, it was planted by the IDF or Mossad. More likely, the Israeli government are lying through their teeth.

Did I say anything about Jews?
No,not jews.Zionist facists who have a history of lying through their teeth while commiting horrendous atrocities.

Was this written before Israel slaughtered 28000 people.

You’re misunderstanding that completely. It can be a cloak to hide anti-semitism, but it doesn’t mean that necessarily. You can’t just assume everyone who points out the horrors of the Israeli state are doing so because they don’t like Jews, just as you can’t assume everyone who points out the horrors of Nazi Germany are doing so because they don’t like Germans. Critiquing the state has next to nothing to do with the people (generally the rulers of a state are using and abusing the people, not a part of them), and besides Israel doesn’t represent Jews, it represents the people of Israel. There are tons of Jews outside of Israel, such as Bernie Sanders in the US who also critiques Israel, and he also worked there for while too when I he younger.

Hi, I’m also a Jew. And calling me a Zionist is fucking insulting. I am not an Israeli, I have never been to Israel, I do not support Israel. I’m an American Jew born in Indiana. On my mother’s side, we’ve been in America since the 1800s. On my father’s side, we’ve been in Britain since the 1800s. I have more in common with any American or British person than any Israeli.
So I’m not a Zionist. Don’t fucking associate me with that shit and don’t call other people antisemitic for hating Zionism because that’s a bullshit lie and it’s people like you who encourage violence against other Jews by associating us all with Israel’s war when most of us, at least in the U.S., have nothing to do with it.

supposing a modern nation state with a capable intelligence and military apparatus is capable of and motivated to lie isn’t an antisemetic trope.

> claiming a Jew does just because they are a Jew, yes, that is antisemitic.
no one did that.
Removed by mod
>Capability plus motivation does not equal guilt.
of course not, but it is good reason to be suspicious of any claims and demand evidence.

It’s anti-Semitic to claim that criticism of Israel is anti-Semitism you stupid fuck.
Just because you’re one doesn’t mean all are.

Whoosh
You talk like ChatGPT, so I’m calling you a lying bot instead
Hahahaha do you have no self awareness?
Show proof, otherwise false.
Because terrorists take pictures of all their secret activities. Wouldn’t surprise me if the IDF generated them with AI or something.
Terrorist use the media as a military tool, so they the do take pictures of their activities. Not all of them, but they do.
Conservatives will only see articles critical of conservatives as being evidence that the author is their enemy. The author’s laptop would be used in this way.
A conservative is incapable of honesty. Every word uttered by a conservative is either deception or manipulation. Every word. When a conservative accuses a journalist of a crime, they are lying. Every time.
The wording of this seems very mein kampfy.
If the UNRWA story is anything to go by, they don’t even bother with the evidence part.
Fair point.
If you’re not with us … you’re against us
This is how to describe our current period in history
Hard to admit the sad truth.
I don’t agree with this meme.
Are they accusing a journalist of being in HAMAS before killing them? That’s new.
I assume the fact that he was a Hamas militant was a secret intelligent peace of information.
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.
I agree, using journalists as war militants is a war crime that I don’t think have never happen.
they did? so we have full footage of the laptop being found and verifiable chain of custody?
define terrorist
What evidence, a few pictures they claim are from 2022 that might just as well be the Journalist reporting on subjects in Gaza or even be literal deepfakes?
” Then-Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and the Israeli military blamed Abu Akleh’s death on Palestinians, distributing unrelated video of Palestinian gunfire during the invasion as supposed proof. However, multiple independent investigations, including by The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Associated Press, and CNN, as well as by human rights groups like Amnesty International, and the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, all concluded that Abu Akleh was killed by an Israeli soldier. The Israeli military itself later backtracked, stating that Abu Akleh may have been killed by one of its soldiers.
False unless there will be a proof for this case.
If you haven’t been accused by Israel of being a Hamas operative, do you even have a life?
It’s not an accusation, it’s a fact based on concrete evidences.
IDF goal is to take down Hamas, hence kill or capture its militants.
IDF goal is to ensure white supremacy using a faulty religious account of a kingdom that fell over 2500 years ago. Absolutely ludicrous.
Killing journalists is only self defense if you’ve got war crimes to hide, and Israel’s main purpose is to obfuscate war crimes.
Hamas militants disguising themselves as impartial journalists IS a war crime, and put all impartial individuals in danger.
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.
I don’t agree in this case.

I mean I think Israel is a terrorist state, but this is pretty damning. Doesn’t give them the right to take over land that isn’t theirs of course.
Here it comes to the “land” argument again.
That’s the true face of the Palestinians.
The Palestinia Arabs opened an existence war against Israel in it’s independence day, they lost, BIG TIME, then they blame Israel for winning, for 75 years now.
This is why there will never be piece. This is why Israel has no other option than to use force. This is why there are so many casualties. The ridiculous land.
I think you’re a little confused about who violently took land from whom
thank you
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.
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”.
Everyone is a Hamas operative. Journalists, babies… hell, I live in Indiana and I’m probably a Hamas operative.
Hamas war strategy is to disguise themselves as civilians, impartial personnel, doctors, etc. and blend in these civilian areas.
So statistically, yes, you can probably be a Hamas operative. In your case, I hope, is a low chance.
So you’re saying you know someone is Hamas because they don’t seem like Hamas?
This feels like good ol’ fashioned paranoia
Yep. I’m one of those American Jews who secretly works for Hamas. How did you find out?
How sarcastic
Yeah, weird that I would have a sarcastic response to someone who said there’s a chance I’m a member of Hamas. 🙄
Statistically, it’s possible.
Again, statistically.
Statistically it’s possible that you’re a white nationalist.
And if you wouldn’t have a sarcastic response when someone told you that, I’d find you quite suspicious.
I asked Hamas and they confirmed, nobody is a Hamas operative.
Do you think it may possibly be true that some people are Hamas operatives, but not every single person that Israel claims is a Hamas operative is actually a Hamas operative?
For sure, and Israel admits that, too. It’s Hamas that lies about every single attack on its members.
Really? Every single attack? So Israel hasn’t attacked any Hamas fighters? Wow, they really suck at this. No wonder they’ve killed over 10,000 children.
What? You misunderstood. No, Israel has killed thousands of Hamas members. According to Hamas though, the number of its dead soldiers is like three. I think they admitted one early airstrike, I think also on Rafah, killed a commander. So I assume there are probably a couple of others times they’ve admitted to their casualties. Every other time they say it was only civilians, no fighters killed. They are lying, and for that reason I find Israel has more credibility than the terrorists.
According to Hamas though, the number of its dead soldiers is like three.
…
Every other time they say it was only civilians, no fighters killed.
Please show the source of this claim.
So, please prove a negative? No.
You can just read news articles that quote Hamas leaders anytime there is an airstrike and next time you see it maybe you’ll spot it now that you know what to look for.
IDF is a terrorist organization.
Says you? Do any credible multilateral bodies of nations join you in that assessment?
Everyone is a Hamas operative.
We’re also Russian operatives when we criticize the Democrats.
Because everything is about American politics, especially what happens when Israel accuses an Al Jazeera journalist of being a Hamas operative. That’s 100% about America.
Nope.
It’s about Hamas using journalists, an impartial personnel, as war militants.
Now the IDF is going to target Indiana…
Update: Israel just bombed this journalist and his cameraman while they were reporting in Rafah-North
He’s a Hamas militant
You got proof? Or is it just because you want it to be true?
