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.

    So, please prove a negative? No.

    You can just read news articles that quote Hamas leaders anytime there is an airstrike and next time you see it maybe you’ll spot it now that you know what to look for.

      What negative? This was your claim:

      According to Hamas though, the number of its dead soldiers is like three.

      Please show the source for this claim.

      “Just read news articles” is not a source.

          That is a lie. I pasted your claim. I will paste it again:

          According to Hamas though, the number of its dead soldiers is like three.

          If you can’t back up this claim, fine. I guess it also a lie.

            No that’s my inference based on the lack of evidence.

            The claim and the evidence is that Hamas hardly ever admits to casualties.

            The evidence that Hamas doesn’t distinguish it’s fighters is the lack of evidence of Hamas admitting to its fighters being killed. I can’t prove a lack of something that doesn’t exist.

              No that’s my inference based on the lack of evidence.

              You made absolutely no indication that it was an inference. It was just a statement, as if it were fact.

              The claim and the evidence is that Hamas hardly ever admits to casualties.

              You have provided no evidence.

              The evidence is the lack of evidence

              What the fuck does this even mean?
