Subject: Al-Jazeera Journalists By Day, Hamas Commanders By Night |
URL: it was in the home of Al-Jazeera journalist Abdullah Al-Jamal that three Israeli hostages were held captive.. |
|
Since the October 7 attack, Hamas's leaders have been managing the war from Doha, Qatar, and conveying their messages mostly via the Qatar-owned Al-Jazeera TV channel. The network has been operating as a propaganda outlet in the service of Hamas 24/7, with hardly any coverage of other topics. It expresses unreserved support for Hamas, justifying the deadly attack, showing footage from it obtained from the terrorists' bodycams, and celebrating it as a victory that has brought pride and honor to the Islamic nation.[1]
It therefore comes as no surprise that it was in the home of Al-Jazeera journalist Abdullah Al-Jamal, in Nuseirat in the Gaza Strip, that three Israeli hostages were held captive.
Some Al-Jazeera journalists have recently been "outed" as Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad fighters. A Palestinian journalist working for Al-Jazeera, Muhammad Wishah, appears to have also been a commander in the military wing of Hamas, according to documents on a laptop found by the Israeli army in a Hamas base in northern Gaza. Wishah, from Al-Buriej in the central Gaza Strip, has featured in Al-Jazeera broadcasts in recent months, with the station identifying him as one of their journalists. According to Israeli military sources, however, Wishah is a prominent commander in Hamas's anti-tank missile unit, who in late 2022 began working in R&D for the terror group's air unit. A photo that emerged of Wishah together with Yahya Sinwar suggests warm relations between the two.
Another Al-Jazeera correspondent, Ismail Abu Omar, who participated in the October 7 attack and who documented it from within the Gaza Envelope, was airlifted to Doha for medical treatment on February 19 after being wounded in an Israeli airstrike in Rafah a week earlier. He has been identified as a Hamas platoon deputy commander.
Mustafa Thuraya, an independent journalist who worked with Al-Jazeera TV and Agence France-Press, was, according to documents found by the Israeli army in Gaza, an operative in the Al-Qassam Brigades' Gaza City Brigade, and he specialized in developing drones. Hamza Al-Dahdouh, another Al-Jazeera journalist and photojournalist, was a member of the electronic engineering unit of the PIJ's Northern Gaza Brigade.
Since the recent Israel-Hamas war began, Al-Jazeera has been providing the following services to Hamas:
Broadcasting threats by Hamas leaders and leaders of other terror organizations
Celebrating and praising the terror attack and missile attacks on Israel
Airing videos of hostages to pressure the Israeli government
Broadcasting near-daily military announcements
Airing footage on military encounters and killings of IDF soldiers
Broadcasting near IDF troops and airing analysis by military experts in order to advise Hamas fighters on recommended tactics and maneuvers
Pinpointing potential quality Israeli targets
Fabricating anti-Israel propaganda
Fabricating information designed to thwart Israel's instructions to the Gaza population
Silencing any criticism of Hamas, and constantly rebroadcasting Hamas propaganda focusing on: IDF soldiers killed in the fighting; Hamas statements in Hebrew inciting the Israeli public against its government, including with scenes from the current hostage families' demonstrations in Israel; and Hamas propaganda referring to every city, town, and community in Israel as a "settlement"
Describing the hostages abducted by Hamas on October 7 as "convicted prisoners" – equating them with the convicted Hamas terrorists in Israeli prisons – and referring to Palestinian young adults in Israeli custody as "children"
Propagating the lie that IDF soldiers raped Palestinian women during the attack on Hamas terrorists at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza – see MEMRI Daily Brief No. 587, Al-Jazeera's Gaza Script Sabotaged By Its Ally Hamas, April 1, 2024.

NOT REDHART APPROVED
"Overall, we rate MEMRI a Questionable source based on the promotion of
Israeli propaganda, poor sourcing, and a few failed fact checks."
excerpt:
"history
Founded in February 1998, according to its about page, MEMRI or Middle East
Media Research Institute states its purpose as distributing English translations
of Middle Eastern media. MEMRI describes itself as “Independent, nonpartisan,

of political, ideological, intellectual, social, cultural, and religious trends.”
MEMRI is based in Washington DC and its founder is a former Israeli military
intelligence officer Yigal Carmon. Memri also launched MEMRI TV news
channel which is described by Know your Meme as “the channel has gained
much notoriety for its absurd translations of news programs, many of which
have spawned photoshops of screenshots showing false or edited subtitles.”

Thank you Akira, I was just going to post the review.
I'm catching up (construction going on at my house).
Good to know you're keeping an eye out for questionable
sources.

were hostages found in "journalist's" house?
Not that, if true or not, it will feed or house any in
Gaza, but it would be nice if you would acknowledge the
propaganda machine for what it is.
Thanks for the info on the source.
