Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif has been killed alongside four colleagues in a targeted Israeli attack on a tent housing journalists in Gaza City.
Seven people were killed in the attack on the tent located outside the main gate of Gaza City’s al-Shifa Hospital late on Sunday evening, including Al Jazeera correspondent Mohammed Qreiqeh and camera operators Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal and Moamen Aliwa.
Whoa whoa whoa. Israel targets civilians so often that they are bound to murder entire journalism teams at once.
We can’t assume intent until an investigation is completed by… Oh yeah.
Fucking monsters.
The IDF admitted they killed him intentionally and said he was KHAMAAS
If palestinians had to kill every IDF supporter there wouldn’t be many left standing in Israel.
And it’s obvious but i still want to add it : Hamas was the government, they paid the salary of doctors, civil servants, and a huge part of the population.
And Gaza was one of the poorest population in the world because of the heartless Israel, typically the far-right will complain about the bad (re)actions of people while refusing to see their own responsability in the causes that led them to (re)act(, e.g., they’ll refuse to see that poverty leads to crime, or in this case that refusing a two-states solution leads to terrorism).
And i can’t buy the israeli pretext of refusing a two-states solution in order to ensure their security, what they really want is more lands : even if the palestinians accepted demilitarization and everything Israel could demand, they still wouldn’t obtain the two-states solution they’re entitled to by international decisions.
Their only future will be to come back to launching “terrorist” (~suicide-)bombings from exile, like during the 70s and 80s, and i’m sorry that their suffering has to continue. They couldn’t accept the conditions of living that Israel imposed on them in Gaza and the West Bank anyway, i didn’t realize how harsh it was(, and only heard of the uninterrupted settlement’s expansion that left them no other choice than fighting back).
There’re no foreign journalists allowed in, and almost no local journalists left to cover Gaza city’s razing.
But why?? What is the point to the senselessness of this?
It’s to remove anyone that would testify against the Zionists should the world finally hold them accountable and arrest their leaders.
With no one to report facts, the narrative can be constructed to say anything they want.
It’s crazy that this isn’t immediately self-apparent to people…
Anas Al Sharif was the only journalist left in North Gaza. He reports on the most dangerous scenes without fear for his life. He would have covered the Israeli genocide in Gaza city.
Maybe Israel wants to control the narrative and Gaza’s journalists are getting in the way.
Maybe they want revenge on Palestinians for daring to risist. Same reason they bomb hospitals and kitchens and schools. Same reason the mow down crowds of aid seekers. Same reason they target children for daring to be born. Same reason they torture doctors. They’re trying to break the will of the people and punish them for daring to resist, and make themselves feel powerful and godlike even though they still can’t actually win.
Or maybe the cruelty is the point, they’re so poisoned by their own propaganda that they just delight in genocide for its own sake. Winning isn’t the point anymore and it’s just about inflicting suffering and terror and death.
Are they actively resisting though? I’m pretty sure Israel is just performing ethnic cleansing of the area.
Medical staff continue treating the wounded even though they have basically no supplies left and their jobs have been made nearly impossible, Hamas still continues killing occupation troops, Ansar Allah continues enforcing its Red Sea blockade, there are many forms of resistance still happening even in this late stage of the genocide.
But even the very act of living is resistance in a time of genocide. Even the people who don’t pick up a gauze or a gun are resisting, merely because they haven’t given up the will to live.
