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.

    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?

        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.

            IDF is a terrorist organization.

                Says pretty much anyone who doesn’t have their head up their ass supporting genocide.

                If you support IDF you are trash.

                And if you are looking for sources, check out Netanyahu on the god damn nightly news.

                The absence of credible multilateral bodies of nations to join them in that assessment is the same as the presence of credible multilateral bodies of nations to join them in that assessment.

                  There aren’t credible multilateral bodies that classify the IDF as a terrorist organization.

                  The absence of such is evidence that they are not, otherwise, some body with authority on the matter would say so.

                    The lack of an authority saying so is the same as an authority saying so.

                    You’ve taught me that the lack of something is the same as the presence of something, remember?

              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.

                What negative? This was your claim:

                According to Hamas though, the number of its dead soldiers is like three.

                Please show the source for this claim.

                “Just read news articles” is not a source.

                    That is a lie. I pasted your claim. I will paste it again:

                    According to Hamas though, the number of its dead soldiers is like three.

                    If you can’t back up this claim, fine. I guess it also a lie.
