Does that include the "journalist" who was a member of the Nukhba force who participated in Oct 7 rapes, tortures and burning of children alive?

"The IDF confirms carrying out a strike in Gaza City yesterday that killed Al Jazeera reporter Ismail Alghoul, saying he was a member of Hamas’s elite Nukhba force who participated in the October 7 onslaught".

I mean, you ask Tel Aviv they are either gonna give you evidence they were "deffo" a terrorist. Or they're gonna just admit they dont care and blow up another school or whatever.

The October 7th card really ran out of steam after all the war crimes Israel committed. Acts of terror don't justify acts of terror.

People shouldn't be murdered by a neighbouring state for their religion or skin colour or years old disputes about land; they should be murdered for being rapists!

me too except for Jews

It includes all journalists killed by Israeli genocide.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago (2 children)

So when a terrorist proven to have committed torture, rapes and killed , even killed children is killed for their crime it's called genocide?

Are you for real?

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 4 points 2 months ago

Are you pretending Israel isn’t committing genocide against the Palestinians?

@Seagoon_
Typo where you wrote "proven"—I think you spelled "accused" wrong.

"Among other questions, the IDF spokesperson did not answer why Israeli forces had released al-Ghoul in March if he was supposedly a military operative of Hamas."

@Seagoon_
How about the other journalist who was also killed in the strike? Were they accused by the IOF of being a terrorist and therefore deserving of summary extra-judicial assassination? Is that how it goes?

How about the child?

If anything this strike is notable because the number of bystanders killed was uncharacteristically low.
