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.

    No, you are misunderstanding me. Of course, I know there are valid expressions of anti-Zionism but anti-Zionism is all too often utilized as a cover for anti-semitism. it is usually nothing more than a cover used to demonize Jews. As I have often said in the past, claiming anti-Zionism is like dancing on a razor blade. All too often you fall onto the side of plain anti-semitism. It’s possible to remain on that edge and stay purely anti-Zionist but just like a razor, that edge is thin and fraught with danger.

      Yet you accuse everyone critiquing Israel of being anti-semitic. It’s far too easy to dismiss all actual criticism with ad hominem attacks. You didn’t give any legitimate criticism, you just told them to stop talking because they’re racist. That’s not a legitimate argument and you don’t deserve to be considered.

          Sure.

          Yes, we are all lying, conniving Jews…what an antisemitic trope.

          This is telling them to stop talking about this because they’re only doing it because they’re racist. You didn’t actually critique the argument, you only implied that they’re only saying what they said because of racism, and because of that they should just stop saying it. It’s implicitly telling them to shut up. You calling me a liar is an anti-[whatever] trope.

      The problem is you purporting this false notion that being against Zionists means you are against Jews - which couldn’t be farther from the truth, but is a point that REALLY hurts the Zionist movement.
