This.
And never forget there was an Al Jazeera journalist who worked for Hamas government and was found with hostages in his home https://nypost.com/2024/06/09/world-news/gaza-journalist-held-3-hostages-in-his-home-with-his-family-israeli-military-says/ https://nypost.com/2024/06/09/world-news/gaza-journalist-hel...
There is an interview with one of the victims out there, the Russian guy.
Israel's mainstream media is of course as sus as Jazeera when it comes to war coverage however there is hebrew language media that publishes lots of stuff that goes against governments line
- magicalhippo 1y agoFrom the article you linked: Aljamal had written a column for Al Jazeera in 2019. The Qatar-based outlet said Aljamal was never an employee. Before his death, Aljamal was contributing to the Palestine Chronicle news outlet, where he wrote a plethora of stories covering the deaths of Palestinians in Gaza during Israel’s offensive.
