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.

    Everyone is a Hamas operative. Journalists, babies… hell, I live in Indiana and I’m probably a Hamas operative.

      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.

        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.

                    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.

                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.

                    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.

      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.

        Yep. I’m one of those American Jews who secretly works for Hamas. How did you find out?

            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.

        So you’re saying you know someone is Hamas because they don’t seem like Hamas?

        This feels like good ol’ fashioned paranoia
