The Israeli Defense Forces on Sunday accused a prominent journalist– who in recent months has reported regularly for Al Jazeera from Gaza – of moonlighting as a senior Hamas commander.

The Israeli Defense Forces have published photos they say were discovered on a laptop in Gaza that show Al Jazeera journalist Mohamed Washah engaged in Hamas terrorist activities.

Neither Al Jazeera nor the Qatari government have responded to the Sun’s request for comment.

    of course not, but it is good reason to be suspicious of any claims and demand evidence.

          ok, go to Israel and ask the IDF. Maybe they will show you. Maybe they will tell you to go blow it out of your ass for being a nuisance.

            having a policy of disbelieving accusations until proven beyond a reasonable doubt is how i was brought up

            distrusting the government is as american as apple pie

              Being skeptical of accusations is a human trait. Being skeptical of the government is also (that extends to authority figures). Going as far as distrust is cynical and that is just plain stupid and dangerous.

                How many claims from Hamas do you distrust? I’d assume most of them, right? Is it just because you’re cynical?
