“No one is looking at us or the extent of this disaster or the crimes that we are experiencing in Gaza,” he said. Still holding his microphone, he slid off his flak jacket marked with the word PRESS and unstrapped his helmet.

“These protection jackets and helmets don’t protect us,” he said, flinging the equipment to the ground. “Nothing protects journalists. … We lose our lives for no reason.”

    I doubt Hamas was at this reporter’s house, which was singled out by Israel for an airstrike, which they then pretended to know nothing about.

      You’re probably right, I’m just trying to get ahead of their typical excuse for collateral damage

        It’s not even collateral damage is it? It’s the damage they intend to inflict, killing journalists who dare to show the world what Israel is doing.

          Not just journalists, kill the journalist AND his entire family by waiting until he gets home and then bombing his house.

          Hamas look like angels compared to israel

            Hamas look like angels compared to Israel.

            Idk if I’d go that far. Hamas is at least honest about it, though. They don’t try to hide the fact that they want every Jew dead. Israel will continue to genocide Palestinians while denying that the whole time.

              Completely false. They want the colony of israel gone and their land back. They are not interested in ethnic cleansing like israel.

              There are videos of Hamas members that invaded israel and DIDNT kill people on purpose. Many such accounts. https://youtu.be/rD7NI0tGbp8?si=uXg5km2BGCXkGosQ

              Of course there are outliers of people that just want to murder, but the Hamas policy is not the murder of every colonist.

              Now let’s not glorify Hamas too much and pretend they’re super nice people. They are a violent militant faction. But just like the Taliban, Hamas just want occupiers off their land. They’re not interested in going to America to kill all the non believers or any of that stupid stuff.

                'The Day of Judgment will not come about until Moslems fight Jews and

                kill them. Then, the Jews will hide behind rocks and trees, and the

                rocks and trees will cry out: 'O Moslem, there is a Jew hiding behind

                me, come and kill him.’ (Article 7)

                'The enemies have been scheming for a long time … and have

                accumulated huge and influential material wealth. With their money,

                they took control of the world media… With their money they stirred

                revolutions in various parts of the globe… They stood behind the

                French Revolution, the Communist Revolution and most of the

                revolutions we hear about… With their money they formed secret

                organizations - such as the Freemasons, Rotary Clubs and the Lions -

                which are spreading around the world, in order to destroy societies

                and carry out Zionist interests… They stood behind World War I …

                and formed the League of Nations through which they could rule the

                world. They were behind World War II, through which they made huge

                financial gains… There is no war going on anywhere without them

                having their finger in it.’ (Article 22)

                'Zionism scheming has no end, and after Palestine, they will covet

                expansion from the Nile to the Euphrates River. When they have

                finished digesting the area on which they have laid their hand, they

                will look forward to more expansion. Their scheme has been laid out

                in the ‘Protocols of the Elders of Zion’.’ (Article 32)

      Just playing devil’s advocate, maybe it was hamas who bombed the house just to get sympathy. Hamas has shown that they don’t really care much about civilian casualties.

        When you bomb 4000 children and have a “odd” recurring record of journalists dying as “collateral damage” then maybe the advocacy work could be put to better use elsewhere. Nobody has sympathy for Hamas here.
