Links - 24th December 2025 (2 - Hamas Attack Oct 2023)

Meme - Nazi Hunters: "Gaza has the highest number of Terrorists per Journalist-capita in the world. "Mohamed Washah. *Press jacket* *Various photos of Mohamed Washah with RPGs and other weapons*""

Hen Mazzig on X - "BREAKING: A new study shows that 60% of journalists killed during the Gaza war were Hamas men or affiliated with other terror groups. The Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center analyzed 266 Palestinians reported as journalists or media workers who died in the fighting and found that at least 157 had ties to terrorist organizations. There is no free press in Gaza. Journalists either serve Hamas, or die for refusing."
Gaza seems to have the largest concentration of journalists in the world

Jay Engelmayer on X - "When Terrorists Wear Press Vests: The Dangerous Farce of “Journalists” in Gaza...
Anyone with a GoPro, a Telegram channel, or a blue vest with the word PRESS slapped across the chest now claims the mantle of “journalist.” And astonishingly, international watchdogs, Western newsrooms, and global press associations swallow the claim without question. The result? Hamas operatives and Islamic Jihad propagandists are canonized as martyrs of free speech, while Israel is demonized as the executioner of journalism. It is a grotesque inversion of reality... Take the most recent incident. Israel admitted that in striking Hamas assets at Al-Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, four “journalists” were killed. Western media ran with the predictable headline: “Israel kills journalists.” But peel back the propaganda and the story looks very different. The IDF was targeting a high-end surveillance camera, mounted on the hospital roof and operated by Hamas militants, used to track Israeli forces. At least two of the so-called “journalists,” Mohammad Salama of Al Jazeera and Mu’ad Abu Taha of Falasteen al-Hayum, were not innocent bystanders. They were participants in the October 7th massacre, captured on film invading Israel and glorifying the atrocities... Let’s examine some of the “fallen journalists” Gaza’s defenders are lionizing:
Ismail Baddah & Suleiman Hajjaj – Reporters for Islamic Jihad-affiliated Palestine TV. Hajjaj was also a known operative in the terror group’s ranks. That’s not journalism; that’s double-dipping in propaganda and blood.
Ayat Khadoura – Self-described “freelance journalist,” in reality a social media agitator. She admitted openly that her work was activism for Palestine. Her “last messages” videos, produced repeatedly before IDF strikes, were not courageous reporting but staged agitprop.
Mohammed Salama (Al Jazeera) – Filmed himself invading Israel on October 7, while moonlighting as a Hamas cameraman. He even directed staged “horror scenes” to be fed directly to Western outlets hungry for Gaza content.
Mariam Abu Daqa – Praised by AP and Rolling Stone, she openly taught journalism under Hamas’s Information Ministry, whose job is not reporting but indoctrination. Her “students” learned not the ethics of truth but the mechanics of manipulation.
Muath Abu Taha (NBC) – Publicly called Hamas terrorist Ahmad Jarrar a “hero” and October 7th “the greatest day of our generation.” No attempt at neutrality; just celebratory terrorism parading as news.
Hassan Aslih – A photographer beloved by AP and CNN. In reality, a man with direct ties to Yahya Sinwar, Hamas’s terror chief. He was inside Israel on October 7 documenting atrocities. Only after exposure by HonestReporting did CNN and AP cut ties. Why were they paying him in the first place?
Anas al-Sharif – Registered as a Hamas commander in internal documents. Yet somehow, Western media continues to portray him as a “journalist killed by Israeli strikes.”
The list goes on. Hamas snipers, Islamic Jihad propagandists, and registered Hamas soldiers are being remembered in solemn obituaries as if they were Bob Woodward and Edward R. Murrow. The real scandal is not only that Gaza’s so-called journalists are embedded terrorists, it’s that Western outlets rely on them. Reuters, AP, and AFP outsource coverage to whoever is holding a camera on the ground. They rarely vet. They rarely question. The result? Hamas’s propaganda pipeline flows directly into CNN’s broadcasts and The New York Times’ front pages, wrapped in the veneer of professional journalism. This is not accidental. It is a systemic rot. The desperate chase for speed and “authentic” footage has replaced due diligence. The hunger for emotional imagery has overridden the pursuit of truth. Hamas knows this. They exploit it. And Western newsrooms oblige.
Organizations like the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) and the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) claim to defend press freedom. Yet in Gaza, they have turned themselves into useful idiots. Their blanket labeling means that by CPJ & IFJ standards, a Hamas fighter live-streaming his Kalashnikov rampage qualifies as a journalist. This is not defending the press, it is desecrating it. Every time a Hamas propagandist dies in an IDF strike, CPJ, IFJ and their Western allies cry “war on journalism.” Hamas scores a propaganda victory. Israel is branded the villain. And the global public is deceived into believing truth is under siege, when in fact, it’s Hamas using lies as weaponry."

Who Is a ‘Journalist’ in Gaza? - WSJ - "“No conflict in modern history has seen a higher number of journalists killed,” Amnesty International tweeted. Reporters Without Borders (known by the French acronym RSF) claims that “Palestine has become the most dangerous state in the world for media professionals.” The Committee to Protect Journalists puts the count of “journalists and media workers killed in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory” plus Lebanon at 192 since Oct. 7, 2023. These assertions rely on an expansive definition of the word “journalist.” In 2023 RSF ranked the Palestinian territories 156th out of 180 countries in its annual World Press Freedom Index. By amalgamating the West Bank with Gaza, RSF’s ranking understates the degree of repression in the latter. That repression is the responsibility of Hamas, a totalitarian death cult that eliminates any opposition. There is no independent media to speak of in Gaza, and journalists operate at either the direct command or the mercy of Hamas and other terrorist groups. Of the 192 putative journalists on the CPJ list, 26 were employed by or freelanced for Al-Aqsa TV, which the committee generously describes as “Hamas-affiliated.” Nineteen were employed by Al-Quds Al-Youm, which the State Department says is “run by Islamic Jihad,” and seven worked for Palestine Today, which the CPJ itself calls “pro-Islamic Jihad.” Six worked for Al Mayadeen or Al-Manar, the former affiliated with and the latter owned by Hezbollah, and another 23 worked for outlets connected to terrorist groups ranging from Hamas and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine to the Houthis. Not counting those the IDF has accused of being terrorists themselves—including Sharif—nearly half the people on the committee’s list worked for media owned by or affiliated with terrorist organizations... Most of the journalists who have died in Gaza were on what the CPJ calls “dangerous assignment”—death was a risk they took while working in a war zone. But the committee alleges that 24 of the 192 listed journalists were actually “murdered” by Israel. Most of the allegedly murdered journalists, however, worked for terrorist-aligned media outlets or were, according to Israel, terrorists themselves. The committee called “murdered” Ahmed Mansour, for instance, whom it described “an editor for the pro-Palestinian Islamic Jihad news agency Palestine Today.” Similarly, Ayman al-Gedi was “a camera operator for Al-Quds Al-Youm TV, a channel affiliated with the Islamic Jihad militant group,” CPJ acknowledges. Israel has accused Ismail al-Ghoul, a correspondent for Al Jazeera, of participating in the Oct. 7 attack and killed him in a targeted air strike in July 2024. Al Jazeera has denied that al-Ghoul was a Hamas member. What these men did wasn’t journalism, and claiming otherwise dishonors the real journalists who risk and sometimes lose their lives endeavoring to bring us the truth. To put people who celebrated or participated in the Oct. 7 attacks in the same category as journalists Daniel Pearl, Marie Colvin and James Foley is a disgrace. What’s being hyped as an unprecedented attack on journalists is actually a cynical salvo in an information war. By claiming that Israeli brutality is responsible for the deaths of a “record” number of “journalists” in Gaza, international press-freedom groups have committed a category error. The figure is high because the world has never seen a conflict in which so many people working on behalf of terrorist organizations have been disingenuously characterized as journalists by once-respected watchdog groups. The cause of international press freedom is undermined when its leading institutions launder jihadist martyrdom into journalistic sacrifice. Consider Ian Williams, president of the Foreign Press Association, who recently told CNN, “Frankly I don’t care whether Al-Sharif was in Hamas or not. We don’t kill journalists for being Republicans or Democrats. . . . Hamas is a political organization, as well as a terrorist organization, perhaps.” That last word—“perhaps”—explains everything. To Mr. Williams and others of his ilk, a totalitarian Islamist movement that murders its opponents has the same democratic legitimacy as an American political party. As long its members put on a flak jacket with the word PRESS written on it, they qualify as intrepid war correspondents protected by international law. Organizations like RSF and the CPJ rightly complain when governments falsely accuse reporters of being terrorists so they can surveil, prosecute, imprison and kill them. But by championing propagandists for jihad as members of the Fourth Estate, press freedom advocates are guilty of the same transgression: conflating terrorism and journalism."

Meme - "Ms Rachel is a Hamas supporting sell out who is platforms Palestinians that advocate the kidnapping of Israeli children. She is now collaborating with Motaz, a Gazan who praises Hamas and who openly encouraged rape, murder, and kidnapping - including of children"
motaz_azaiza: "Whoever did not respond to Sinwar's call to go out and engage the enemy everywhere has no right to mourn him and boast about the manner of his death. If your love and loyalty were true, you would have followed the same path he followed, without any hypocrisy or comfortable lamentation to cover up your failure. Al-Sinwar did not want you to write a beautiful obituary or mention his exploits in written poems. He wanted you in the field: Were you in the field?"
One cope is that she's not responsible for what her collaborators say. Good luck if you apply that logic to people the left disapprove of

Meme *Ms Rachel with Motaz*
MoTaz: "May God curse the Jews themselves"
Everyone knows he really meant "Zionists"

Meme - The Persian Jewess: "Meet Soliman Hijiy - morbidly obese Gazan "journalist" who claims "the famine in Gaza "cannot be described" in his recent article for The Wire. Poor man, he's clearly starving."
'Gaza's Famine Can't Be Described': Palestinian Journalist Soliman Hijiy"

Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib on X - "During the worst of the days of the hunger crisis in Gaza in the past six months, Hamas deliberately hid literal tons of infant formula and nutritional shakes for children by storing them in clandestine warehouses belonging to the Gaza Ministry of Health. The goal, as I said then, was to worsen the hunger crisis and initiate a disaster as part of the terror group’s famine narrative in a desperate effort to stop Israel’s onslaught against Gaza and force the return of the UN’s aid distribution mechanism, and away from the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). Now, activists in the Strip are documenting the waste and deliberate disposal of tons of infant formula, nutritional children’s shake, and children’s powdered milk, which Hamas had hoarded away, given the saturation of the coastal enclave with humanitarian aid after the ceasefire two months ago. When countless other Palestinian activists and I from Gaza said this back in July, August, and September, we were villainized, attacked, threatened, and made into pariahs by the “pro-Palestine” industrial complex and activist mafias, even though for Gazans, the evidence was so clearly apparent before our eyes. What those in the West continue to fail to understand is that there is no being pro-Palestine without also having a serious vigilance against Hamas’s continued manipulation of international public opinion to hide behind the Strip's civilian population's suffering, something that the terrorist organization’s own actions have led to and created. Never allow yourself to be a useful idiot in Hamas’s propaganda. You can have compassion for the real suffering of the Palestinian civilians of Gaza, and demand Israeli action to facilitate aid entry into the coastal enclave, while still holding Hamas accountable for its part in causing a hunger and starvation crisis in the first place."

Aizenberg on X: "Inventing Genocide in Gaza: The UN's Fertility Clinic Blood Libel" / X - "The United Nations Human Rights Council’s recent report accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza focuses on one especially sensational allegation: that in December 2023, the IDF intentionally shelled Gaza’s largest fertility clinic, the Al-Basma IVF center, to destroy thousands of embryos, “intended to destroy the future of Palestinians, the growth of the group and their very existence.” The Commission devotes seven paragraphs to this supposed attack, one of its lynchpin pieces of evidence for proving genocide. The report also erases Hamas from its narrative, recasts October 7 as an Israeli assault, and portrays the ordinary conduct of war as genocide, among many falsehoods and omissions detailed by UN Watch . But this allegation is different, presented as uniquely depraved—an intentional strike designed to extinguish the future of the Palestinian people by preventing births. The genocide allegation was immediately echoed in American politics. The day after the report’s release, Senator Bernie Sanders published an op-ed declaring flatly, “It is genocide.” Representative Becca Balint, the first Jewish member of Congress to make the charge, likewise wrote that she believes Israel is committing genocide... The UN report rests entirely on an April 2024 ABC News article , published more than four months after the alleged December 2023 strike. It quotes the clinic’s director—who was not present, could not identify the date, and merely asserted without evidence that an IDF shell was responsible. The article never asks how a clinic director could independently determine the ordnance used. Israel stated it was unaware of any strike at the site. No forensic analysis was undertaken, no fragments recovered or examined, no trajectory studies performed, no experts dispatched, and no effort made to reconstruct the events of that day. Even the UN report concedes it is not actually certain how the clinic was damaged, stating it was “most probably” an Israeli shell. Photographs also contradict the UN’s case. ABC News images show the clinic still standing (see Figure 1), with limited interior damage, while a Reuters photo (see Figure 2) omitted from the UN report depicts an adjacent multi-story tower with a gaping hole at its center, far more consistent with being the real target of IDF fire. The claim that the clinic suffered the most damage is plainly false. The photos reveal active combat in the area and evidence of a possible threat from the adjacent building. There is no proof the clinic was struck by Israeli fire; it could just as easily have been hit by a Hamas RPG or misfired rocket. Even if it was an IDF shell, nothing shows the clinic was the target. Furthermore, the idea of a “precision strike” on nitrogen tanks inside a largely intact structure is implausible... If the UN can manufacture a genocide charge out of limited damage at a clinic based on an unverified media report four months after the fact, admit that they were not certain whether it was an Israeli shell, and suppress evidence of greater destruction in the adjacent building that was more likely the target, the entire exercise becomes propaganda rather than fact-finding."
Andrew Fox on X - "Also: consider this scenario militarily. You want to destroy some embryos as part of a genocide where you fail to kill more than 60k out of 2 million in two years. So you send in a tank to fire a precise round into a room of a building where you’d have had to spend significant amounts of intelligence horsepower to identify which room in the building the embryos are in. You’re trying to wipe out a race of people but you expend time and effort in precise intelligence and send your own armoured troops into harm’s way when you could just level the building from the air (as they have done with many buildings, tbf) or gone out and killed more Gazans with that one tank round than the number of embryos you destroyed. Utterly risible."

Flotillas for Gaza: Switzerland sends the invoice to its repatriated nationals : r/TheWorldReports - "They didn’t even have enough aid for 10 people on their boat. Purely a photo opp to add injury to their “Israel is evil” campaign. She should be in Gaza doing rebuild work!"

Exclusive: USAID analysis found no evidence of massive Hamas theft of Gaza aid
Flotillas for Gaza: Switzerland sends the invoice to its repatriated nationals : r/TheWorldReports - "This article is the most mealy mouthed and evasively worded thing I've ever read. It's like lawyer speak. Read between the lines of this article and it's clear Hamas did in fact steal aid.
"no evidence of massive Hamas theft no evidence of systematic theft found “no reports alleging Hamas” benefited
The study noted a limitation: because Palestinians who receive aid cannot be vetted, it was possible that U.S.-funded supplies went to administrative officials of Hamas, the Islamist rulers of Gaza."
This is how a lawyer would write an article when the lawyer knows the aid went to Hamas but their client was making them argue the opposite anyway 😂"

Zarah Sultana ‘will stand outside prison until Palestine Action hunger striker is treated’ - "Zarah Sultana has been filmed among a group of pro-Palestinian protesters chanting about an intifada, hours after the Met Commissioner said such slogans should lead to arrest. The Your Party MP has been taking part in a protest outside HMP Bronzefield in Surrey, where a Palestine Action activist is on hunger strike. Ms Sultana is among a group who have been demanding that 20-year-old Qesser Zuhrah be transferred to hospital. On Wednesday afternoon, the MP was filmed clapping along as a woman with a loudhailer led chants in Arabic of “min ghazat taqarar ’iintifada” which translates as: “From Gaza, the intifada of victory is declared.” Ms Sultana had her back to the camera and was wearing a keffiyeh scarf, so it is unclear whether she was singing along with the chants... She wrote on X that she had contacted David Lammy, the Justice Secretary, and Wes Streeting, the Health Secretary, urging them to take action. Ms Sultana said that “if she dies, it will be on their hands”, adding that there was a risk Ms Zuhrah would die if Mr Lammy did not allow an ambulance on site. Sharing a photograph of herself alongside 12 other activists, several wearing keffiyehs, she said: “We’re not going anywhere until HMP Bronzefield accept an ambulance transfer for Qesser to get the emergency healthcare she urgently needs.” Eight Palestine Action activists have staged a hunger strike in prison, with their lawyers saying last week that five had already been taken to hospital... “We are concerned that, should this situation be allowed to continue without resolution, there is the real and increasingly likely potential that young British citizens will die in prison, having never even been convicted of an offence.” On Tuesday Jeremy Corbyn, the Your Party MP and former Labour leader, demanded in the Commons that the Government meet the families of the hunger strikers."
I thought forced medical treatment violates human rights?
They should just attempt suicide then blame the government for trying to kill them

Palestine Action activist ends hunger strike - "Ms Gardiner-Gibson, who was visited by Jeremy Corbyn, had demanded access to DVDs and Al Jazeera television while incarcerated.  Ms Gardiner-Gibson, 30, who is non-binary and uses the name “Amu Gib”, reportedly could barely walk and was using a wheelchair."

Palestine Action hunger striker complains prison refusing to give her key vitamin - "Dave Rich, head of policy at the Community Security Trust, a charity that monitors anti-Semitism against the UK’s Jewish community, said on X: “Palestine Action’s whole shtick is that they are so moral and just, the normal rules that everyone else lives by shouldn’t apply to them. This hunger strike is just an extension of the same entitlement.  “They are trying to change policies passed by Parliament through emotional blackmail.  “They may disagree with those policies but they do not have the right to subvert the democratic process. And they are being treated like every other remand prisoner.”"

The pro-Gaza hunger strike is sinister martyrdom masquerading as virtue - "Martyrs have a special role in Palestine. From the West Bank to Gaza, images of people who have blown themselves up killing Israelis adorn walls and schoolbooks; roads and shopping centres are named after them.   Less revered, but just as important, are the martyrs who have no choice: the thousands killed as Hamas terrorists hide in their hospitals and schools. Why else would Hamas have hundreds of miles of tunnels for its fighters but no bomb shelters for its civilians? The cause is always more important than the people.   Hamas loves martyrs. The presence of the martyrs – particularly the children, the babies, the good-looking  – has weakened Israel’s relationships with its allies and radicalised the world’s bleeding heart liberals and fellow Muslims into supporting the Palestinian struggle.   Now Britain has its own would-be martyrs... If Mariella and Greta truly cared about the hunger strikers, they could do them the courtesy of simply telling the truth: that they should eat. Nothing they do in prison will make any difference.   It feels similar to those “pro Palestine” advocates who keep pushing for more war, more “resistance” for the continuation of the “intifada” as if constantly starting wars with one of the most powerful armies in the world is ever going to result in anything other than humiliation and further loss of people and land.  Speaking via a friend from prison to Dazed magazine, Zuhrah, the youngest and most photogenic of the hunger strikers, appears to genuinely think she is making a difference: “With the hunger strike,” she say, “we are forcing the state to look us in our eyes and recognise the life within us that we have been denied, the same entities that deny the Palestinian people their right to life.”   But the hunger strike does nothing for the Palestinian cause other than remind us how extreme some of their supporters have become.   The outlandish demands of the hunger strikers – which include being given immediate bail, the deproscription of Palestine Action and for arms manufacturer Elbit to be thrown out of the UK – will never be met.  And if the British government were to give in to this sort of blackmail every time they had someone in their prison, there would be even more dangerous people walking our streets.   Academic Gaad Saad has coined the phrase “suicidal empathy”, in which excessive compassion undermines societal cohesion. These are the heartstrings these hunger strikers are attempting to yank on. But the British public doesn’t have much empathy for a group such as Palestine Action."

Greta Thunberg arrested at Palestine Action protest in London

Palestine Action is worth dying for, says hunger striker - "Dying for Palestine Action is “worthwhile”, an imprisoned hunger striker has said.  Kamran Ahmed, 28, is one of six Palestine Action protesters on hunger strike across the UK. He is accused of breaking into the UK site of an Israel-based defence firm near Patchway, Bristol, with sledgehammers in August 2024, causing £1m of damage."

Pro-Palestinian protester suspended from Vancouver Island University loses court challenge : r/TheWorldReports - "How is disturbing people exams helping palestine? These students studying hard all year and the one day you choose to protest is right outside their exam room? Scummy move"
"The cruelty has always been the point."

Pro-Palestinian protester suspended from Vancouver Island University loses court challenge : r/TheWorldReports - "Protest are meant to disrupt. It's not much of a protest if society gets to continue like nothing is happening. Protest make the issue in ignorable. It's a shame Americans as a whole are fucking selfish cowards."
"That doesn’t mean you are free from the consequences of that disruption, especially if it violates the rules of a a private institution. Also, Vancouver is in Canada. But sure, Americans are the problem here. Shouldn’t expect much from a tankie I suppose."
Good luck if you have a right wing protest that annoys the left even one bit. Then they will complain that honking drives them mad and that honkers need to be jailed

Pro-Palestinian protester suspended from Vancouver Island University loses court challenge : r/TheWorldReports - "So it is ok to protest, as long as nobody is ever disrupted or inconvenienced. This is definitely how people got their rights. Making peaceful protests impossible makes violent protests inevitable."
"Would you like to share your personal address? I'd like to hold a protest inside your living room. If you are disrupted or inconvenienced, tough luck, I should be allowed to do it whenever I want with no consequences."
"Alert alert - Palestinian FAFO Mentality detected: "I want to protest WHEREVER I WANT, and if the SAME PLACE I protest in is PUNISHING ME - IT IS forbidden!!" Same mentallity of "I think the world is treating me badly so I will go into shops and steal what I want, I am allowed to do that as a protest mechanism." She is allowed to protest wherever she wants, and the university is allowed to kick her out because she's obnoxious."
