Palestinian journalist held Israeli hostages in his home

[lapucelle]

89. What are you talking about? I'm not shocked that terrorist operatives were holding hostages in an apartment building

inhabited by civilians, in a civilian area near a market.

Terrorists have no respect for human life, and for Hamas, civilian casualties are a feature, rather than a bug. That's why they have no reluctance to use anyone, including children, as human shields. Everyone has known for years that Hamas embeds with civilians and operates out of civilian infrastructure like schools, hospitals, apartment buildings, and UNRWA facilities funded through international aid.

NATO has been reporting on it for years.

Nor am I shocked that yet another "Palestinian journalist" has turned out to be nothing but a brutal, opportunistic amoral scumbag.

I wonder if Reporters Without Borders will make a statement. They are very good at virtue signaling. Let's see if they're equally good at accepting responsibility for stoking Hamas narratives concerning "journalists".

Terrorist Abdallah Aljamal was a contributor to The Palestine Chronicle. On June 3, he published an article with the headline

“My House Will Always Be Open – Stories from the Gaza Siege.”

And that fittingly ironic title, thankfully, will be his final byline.
