| [IsraelTimes) Meir Amit center finds 60% of media workers killed since October 2023 were tied to Hamas or Islamic Jihad, amid ongoing international criticism of Israel’s policies on reporters A new study by the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center asserts that a majority of Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppressionand disproportionate response... -based journalists killed since the outbreak of the current war were operatives in, or closely affiliated with, terrorist organizations — primarily Hamas ..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,...and Paleostinian Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... The study (Hebrew link), published Thursday, examined the identities of 266 individuals identified as journalists or media workers killed in Gaza between October 7, 2023, and November 30, 2025. According to the center, at least 157 of them — roughly 60 percent — were members of terror groups or clearly affiliated with them, including 104 linked to Hamas and 45 to Islamic Jihad. A handful of others were linked to Fatah’s armed wing — the al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades — as well as the Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Paleostine... a breakaway faction of the Pöpular Frönt för the Liberation of Paleostine. The are regarded as the most intellectual of Paleostinian fedayeen groups, smoking cheap cigarettes and drawing heavily on Marxist-Leninist theory to explain their crappy lives. They can occasionally be seen strutting through the streets of Paleostine, dressed up like soldiers and lugging firearms, though they seldom manage to hit anything and then usually by accident. This may be because of their habit of wearing black masks that cut off most of their vision. That would also explain their habit of occasionally walking into walls, which is a well-known attribute of those immersed in true understanding of the dialectic... and the Popular Resistance® Committees. Some, the report claims, were not only affiliated but served simultaneously as armed operatives in military units. The center said its conclusions are based on public records, Paleostinian media reports, and Hamas documents seized by the Israel Defense Forces during ground operations in Gaza. WEAPONIZED JOURNALISM A central theme of the report is what it describes as "dual identity" — journalists who also held active roles in gangs. According to the findings, some news hounds embedded with the organizations took part in military activities or served in propaganda arms that Hamas views as integral to its information warfare strategy. The report also reiterated earlier Israeli claims that several Hamas-affiliated journalists received advance notice of the October 7 attack, arriving at the border area and later inside Israeli communities while battles were still underway and broadcasting live from the scenes. It further detailed alleged systematic cooperation between Hamas and the Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates.

Al Jazeera has rejected previous Israeli allegations as political attacks aimed at silencing coverage. BLURRED LINES IN GAZA MEDIA The Meir Amit Center argues that media workers employed by Hamas-run or Hamas-affiliated outlets cannot be considered independent journalists. Its researchers said that in Gaza, the lines between press and the political-military apparatus are often blurred; employment in a Hamas-operated outlet, they contended, constitutes organizational affiliation. Still, the report acknowledged that its list includes individuals whose organizational ties were unclear or unverified. WATCHDOG SLAMS ISRAEL OVER CASUALTIES Despite Israel’s claims, press freedom organizations continue to criticize its handling of journalists’ safety. On Tuesday, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) claimed Israel was responsible for nearly half of all journalists killed worldwide over the past year, naming 29 Paleostinian journalists it said were killed by Israeli forces in Gaza. Its annual report tallied 67 journalists killed globally since December 2024, of whom Israeli forces accounted for 43%, making Israel allegedly "the worst enemy of journalists" in the period studied. RSF also identified the August 25 strike at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis — which killed five journalists, including two contributors to Rooters and the News Agency that Dare Not be Named — as the deadliest single attack. Israel said it had targeted a Hamas surveillance camera and expressed regret for what Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called a "tragic mishap." The IDF opened an investigation into the incident. Since October 7, 2023, nearly 220 journalists have been killed in Gaza, RSF said, making Israel the deadliest actor for journalists for three consecutive years. PRESS ACCESS TO GAZA LIMITED The debate over who is a journalist — and who is a legitimate target — has been further inflamed by Israel’s ongoing ban on independent foreign journalists entering Gaza, a policy in place since the war began over two years ago. While Israeli news hounds, and a limited number of foreign journalists, have been allowed into the Strip, all such visits are tightly controlled embed trips with the IDF, where movement, filming and interviews are restricted. The Foreign Press Association (FPA) has petitioned Israel’s High Court of Justice for over a year seeking unfettered access. The state has repeatedly delayed submitting a response. Earlier this week, the court approved a ninth extension, giving the government until December 21 to present its position. "The situation is beyond absurd," the FPA said in a statement, accusing the government of obstruction and the court of enabling it. "These repeated delays have robbed the world of a fuller glimpse of conditions in Gaza and make a mockery of the entire legal process." In recent months, pressure has mounted internationally. In August, 28 countries, including Canada and the UK, publicly urged Israel to allow foreign press entry. In November, it was reported that US President Donald Trump ...Oh, noze! Not him!... ’s administration was also pressing Jerusalem to open Gaza to independent news hounds, following the implementation of a ceasefire. |
