Al-Quds Today staff were targeted outside a hospital, as number of media workers killed by Israeli forces exceeds 200

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.

    You know, I knew this was going to still be argued, then this conversation happened soon after I posted that- we’re talking within an hour, so I kept a link handy.

    I’m sure you’ll find some way to handwave it away:

      I absolutely agree with what you said over there. That person is a fuckwit.

      If your point is that some of the people opposed to Israel’s genocide are using it as a reason (intentional or not) to be antisemitic, I also agree, but I think those people are a fairly small fraction of the total opposition (and that they are playing into Israel’s hands).

      But that seems like the opposite of what the original comment in this thread is saying. It’s parodying that opinion.

        My point is that even saying it sarcastically legitimizes the concept as a line of thinking which can influence others. As I said to someone else, it’s an “any publicity is bad publicity” situation. And it’s really not hard to misunderstand sarcasm on the internet.

        I also do not think you should ever give Israel an inch with their attempts at redefining terms.
