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.

Please show the source of this claim.
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:
Please show the source for this claim.
“Just read news articles” is not a source.
The claim is “Hamas doesn’t admit when its soldiers are killed because that would defeat their martyrdom and human shield strategy of courting western sympathy.”
It’s a negative.
That is a lie. I pasted your claim. I will paste it again:
If you can’t back up this claim, fine. I guess it also a lie.
Dated 12/15 from Reuters: Hamas has not said how many of its fighters have been killed. Israel’s military has said it has killed at least 7,000.
So they didn’t say three.

Now stop sealioning.
Yes, expecting evidence for a specific claim is totally sealioning.
I’m sorry that you don’t like it that the person made a claim that neither of you can back up. That’s not my fault.
Again- this was the claim I asked to be backed up.
You have not proved they have said that and neither have they. That article is from November 26th of last year. It is also not saying that Hamas is claiming that the total number of Hamas soldiers that were killed was four. Just four in that specific instance. And you either knew that when you pasted the article and didn’t expect me to read it or you didn’t read it yourself. Either way, you’re being highly dishonest.
But sure, be that dishonest and accuse me of sealioning as well. Why not? Easier than just admitting that the claim is false, right?
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 is the lack of evidence of Hamas admitting to its members being killed. I can’t prove a lack of something that doesn’t exist.
You made absolutely no indication that it was an inference. It was just a statement, as if it were fact.
You have provided no evidence.
What the fuck does this even mean?
You don’t understand how sometimes a lack of evidence can be evidence?
Sounds like you’re not very well educated or experienced.
Since I’m not very well educated or experienced, please explain how the lack of something can be the same as the presence of something.
