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.

        If palestinians had to kill every IDF supporter there wouldn’t be many left standing in Israel.

        Edit : In my ignorant opinion :
        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, neocolonialism to immigration, or in this case that refusing a two-states solution leads to terrorism).
        Not that it’s a shortsightedness of Netanyahu, he mostly doesn’t care, its expansion of the annexation of the Golan Heights was a success on which he ended his political career(, and of course there’s the 77th anniversary, yay…), and now if he can take control in a form or another of Gaza, for “security”, Israel will only have left to continue the slow colonization of the West Bank, slow enough not to cause too much of a stir, nothing difficult.
        Even if the palestinians accepted demilitarization and everything Israel could demand, they probably still wouldn’t obtain the two-states solution they’re entitled to by international decisions, it’d be useless to speak about improving Israel’s security if the real cause is their desire to expand.

        The only future left to palestinians would 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. I didn’t realize how harsh&unjust their daily lives were, and the systematic injustices in the west bank(, only that the uninterrupted settlement’s expansion left them no other choice than fighting back).

        It’s a win for Israel, we’ll soon forget about everything, after all there are no foreign journalists allowed in, and almost no local journalists left to cover Gaza city’s razing, and we didn’t really see much. Far from sight, and far from the heart.
        What would force Israel to accept a two-states solution ? The Bogotá conference was interesting with its economic sanctions, there’s also diplomatic isolation if the US intervenes, local pressures and covert actions from unified neighbours, and a gamble that the future will let them take their revenge(, not a future with the US as the “world police” then, unless it’s suddenly starting to defend the two-states solution, in deeds and not in words).
        The west also holds a possibility to offer a territory for muslims and a territory for the jews in exchange for a third of the Holy Lands.

        It’s to remove anyone that would testify against the Zionists should the world finally hold them accountable and arrest their leaders.

        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.

            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.

        Anas Al Sharif was the only journalist left in North Gaza. He reports on the most dangerous scenes without fear for his life.
