"The journalists are Hamas, the hospitals are Hamas, the UN is Hamas, the peace activists are Hamas, the demonstrations are Hamas, telling the truth is Hamas, human empathy is Hamas, objective reality is Hamas"

Why killing an entire AJ crew now?
Because Israel "has some very ugly intentions for Gaza City that it doesn’t want the world to see"

It was a precision strike

The IOF did the targeted hit on the remaining prominent journalists in Gaza City, ahead of their offensive on Gaza City.
The "occupation" of Gaza City was approved by the Knesset and is going ahead now with no journalists left to cover it. All with impunity.
Here's Sharif Abdel Kouddous unpacking the massacre dynamics and motives and the help from the West:

Israel BRAGS After Assassinating ENTIRE Al Jazeera Crew

"Western states such as the UK will not be able to wash their hands from complicity in Israel’s mass #atrocities in the past 2 years. By granting #Israel #impunity from #accountability & by arming this rogue state, the west has enabled these atrocities. Recent declarations about recognition of a #Palestinian state are a publicity stunt & a distraction that conceals this impunity but highlights the lack of #action."

Police Chief Bob Day decided not to discipline Sathoff, despite an Internal Affairs investigator concluding in a 2024 report that Sathoff had acted out of bureau policy when he fired three shots at Clark as he ran away. Sathoff remains in an “off-street” position within the Police Bureau, Day said.

Councilors Approve $3.75 Million Settlement in Case of Man Fatally Shot by Police Officer

Police mistakenly thought Clark was a suspect in a November 2022 robbery. Officers also mistakenly thought he was armed. Clark was neither armed nor the suspect in the robbery.

If the principle that countries can gain the #territory of other countries using #military #force with #impunity is established in the 21st Century, then all the gains of the 20th after WW2 will have been lost - possibly for good - & we will face a new era of #international #barbarism. Do #Trump & his #supporters really want that? It's only too clear that #Putin does.

Passport photographs added to police facial recognition databases - without telling anyone and with no parliamentary oversight

But I suppose those who advocate ‘if you have nothing to hide..’ will be cheering from the rafters.

This is Netanyahu's plan, & would constitute a direct violation of Article 49 of the 4th Geneva Convention of 1949, which #Israel is already violating wholesale in the #WestBank. How much longer is this continuing breach of #international #law going to be allowed with total #impunity, @palestine, @davidallengreen?
Israel’s plans for a full occupation of Gaza would pave the way for Israeli resettlement

Israeli settlers have always vowed to reoccupy the Gaza Strip.
