Considering how much attention the American media get, it’s amazing that one piece of actual, unbelievable subversion keeps going on.
That is the Al Jazeera network — founded, funded and directed by the terrorist-supporting state of Qatar.
Last month, The Washington Post reported darkly that the Israeli government had shut down the Al Jazeera network’s operations in Israel because of its coverage from Gaza.
WaPo portrayed this as a “dark day” for press freedom.
In fact, there were a lot of good reasons for the Israelis to stop the network from operating inside Israel.
Just one being that a number of Al Jazeera journalists reporting on Israel’s war against terrorists in Gaza were — er — terrorists.
Take Muhammad Washah, whom Al Jazeera presented as a stellar part of the press corps merely reporting the truth.
Unfortunately for them, their man is also a senior commander in Hamas.
He used to be in Hamas’ anti-tank missile unit, but since 2022 he has been in charge of research and development for aerial weapons.
Known to you and me as “rockets.”
It’s quite something to pull off.
On the one hand, Washah can spend his days making rockets to fire at Israel.
But in the evenings he can report on the terrible destruction in Gaza caused by the “Zionist entity.”
As though it is inexplicable that the Israelis could have any reason to strike any targets in Gaza.
He might have kept getting away with it if IDF soldiers in Gaza had not managed to get a hold of his laptop.
Something that proved the Al Jazeera man’s true loyalties.
The same went for two Al Jazeera “journalists” killed in an airstrike in Rafah in January.
Hamza Wael Dahdouh was the son of Al Jazeera’s Gaza correspondent, Wael Al-Dahdouh.
And while the network complained about the Israelis hitting the vehicle they were in, what they did not mention was that the “journalists” were in a vehicle with a Hamas drone operator while it was targeting Israeli soldiers.
Oh, and young Wael was not just a “journalist,” but a member of Palestinian Islamic Jihad who was “actively involved in attacks” against the Israelis.
Or take Al Jazeera “journalist” Ismail Abu Omar.
