Jadi had gone to al-Awda Hospital with his wife, who was giving birth to their first child.

According to the Wafa news agency, while waiting for his wife, he decided to check in on his colleagues who were outside the hospital in the vehicle.

His brother, photographer Omar al-Jadi, documented the moments after the Israeli strike hit the vehicle.

“Guys, Ayman is inside. Ayman, my brother, is martyred,” he shouted in the video as he helplessly filmed the burning van.

    Pretty sure most people I know would see an obvious sarcastic like this as actively de-legitimising Israel’s attempt to broaden the term. Maybe that’s because I generally hang out with people who are fairly well educated, but I think most people are smart enough to understand the intention here. Do you have any evidence/logic to back your claim that it legitimises?

    Of course, sarcasm is difficult to convey with text, so there’s a risk that people will read it as intended unironically… But I don’t think that’s happened here.

      Do I have evidence other than my seeing it here on Lemmy and having it said to my face? No. And I’m not really going to take the time to search through god knows how many Lemmy comments to prove it to you if you don’t want to believe me.
