On October 26, they killed his wife Amna, his 15-year old son Mahmoud, his 7-year old daughter Sham, and his 18-month grandson Adam. They were killed in a "safe location" where IDF instructed them to evacuate from the north.

In December, IDF wounded him in a drone strike and killed his cameraman Samer Abu Daqqa, who was left to bleed out in the street while IDF shooters prevented medical help from reaching him.

Today in southern Gaza they killed his oldest son Hamza, an Al-Jazeera's network journalist and cameraman. Another freelance journalist Mustafa Thuraya was killed with him.

I don't know how much grief one person can take and still stand straight.

The IDF is incredibly vindictive and vicious. Like every autocratic regime, it deliberately targets voices who speak out against it. It tracks down the people it hates and either murders them or their families or both. Of course, it is going after this poor man. Israel is an evil regime. When the obviously fake story about "a baby baked in an oven" came out, a Palestinian writer, Refaat Alareer, joked about baking powder being used. This may not have been in the best taste, but he was obviously thinking of baking a baby as a creative act in the same way as baking a cake, and the story of the baby in an oven was not true. However, this made him a marked man. The IDF called him as he was taking refuge in an UNRWA school in Gaza and told him it was going to kill him. Not wanting the thousands of other refugees in the building to be killed, he left. The IDF tracked him to his sister's apartment and bombed it, killing him, his sister, and his sister's four children. This was a calculated, brutal atrocity.

I would also point out for many, many, many Jewish Americans “their issue” here is actually stopping the U.S. enabling this bloodbath. That’s why rabbis keep getting arrested at these protests. They are people of conscience and I hope when this is in the rear view mirror people take a moment to reflect on the moral courage it took.

People who pretend to be Jewish, but do not fully and unconditionally support Israel, are not Jewish.

Those so-called “Rabbis” may use the word, but real Jews know they are little more then anti-Semitic pro-Hamas terrorists.

Wow, so Jews are now being antisemitic against other Jews. This is a new low.

Yahweh provided upon the Jewish people a bountiful and eternal land of prosperity and of security, the lands of Israel and the gleaming city of Jerusalem, to provide them with a homeland of solely their own.

If one does not believe and defend the land granted to one’s own people by God himself, were they ever truly Jewish?

(The answer is no)

Not all Jews believe this. Many Jews think the stories of "God's covenant with Abraham" and "the Promised Land" are fables, just as many Jews, Christians, and Muslims don't believe in Adam and Eve or that Earth is 4,000 years old. Some Christians think the Book of Revelations was written by a schizophrenic and was one, long, delusional rant, but that doesn't mean they're not Christians. One can follow a religion without being a fundamentalist literalist. One can follow any of the three major monotheistic traditions and believe that Adam, Eve, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses are fictional literary characters who never existed. Similarly, very few "People of the Book" today would believe that Deuteronomy is truly the word of God. Does anyone really want to follow Ch. 21, which reads, "They shall say to the elders, 'This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a profligate and a drunkard.' Then all the men of his town shall stone him to death"? Nobody in their right mind believes God tells us to stone our stubborn and rebellious sons to death. Same with the "Promised Land" story.

If one does not believe in the land promised to them by one’s God, they do not believe in one’s God. Period.

Some of them believe that the Torah describes the development of the Ancient Hebrews relationship with God and was not literally true. Do you believe in Adam and Eve and that God made Eve out of one of Adam's ribs? If not, you don't have to take the so-called covenant with Abraham as literal truth. You'd also best not believe some of the punishments God dreamed up for relatively minor offences.

Al Jazeera is a well known supporter of Hamas.

Not sure why you would be surprised that Israel would target Hamas supporters, as their goal is to remove all Hamas supporters from Gaza.

If we all started killing people for their beliefs and ideas, well ... we'd solve the problem of over-population very quickly, and we'd probably wipe out the human race. There's a difference between being sympathetic to a news organization's goals (in this case, freeing Palestine) and supporting atrocities. Would someone be justified in targeting staff on the Times of Israel for supporting what they see as the barbarous rogue regime of Israel? If not, why would you apply a different standard to Al Jazeera journalists? It seems there is a deeply racist double-standard here.

No, but he was openly critical of Israel, and that's what got him killed by a country that does not respect international law.

Israel is openly embracing the policy of eliticide - targeting well known Palestinian writers, academics, physicians, scientists - in short, anyone who can be an aspirational core to the community. Tried and found effective before by the Turks in 1915 when they rounded up prominent Armenians of Istanbul and killed them in one night, as an opening act to the genocide that ensued. It's quite clear that Israel's aim is to make Gaza fully uninhabitable, to crowd a growing mass of people into a shrinking plot of land on the border, and drive the desperation up to the point where people will want to leave. Then it will call it a "voluntary migration", as in, you volunteer to leave, or you volunteer to die.

"Genocide" has always been a reach. But then again, it's not a reach to people who deny that 6 million Jews were systematically and deliberately killed by the Nazis.

Yes, the Holocaust happened unfortunately, but almost everyone responsible for this atrocity is dead today. Hopefully, as Americans anyway, we have learned from this and move on and try and realize that most American nonJews born after WWII, in my experience anyway, harbor no hatred or prejudice toward Jews, they’re indifferent, they don’t even realize who is jewish or not. It’s not a topic of conversation for most American non jewish people, it’s a nonissue. I have jewish friends who I didn’t even reaize were jewish initially, they live productive comfortable lives here in the US.

In case you missed it, there has been a huge increase in antisemitic incidents in the U.S.

There's a huge increase in all kinds of -isms in the US - Jews aren't special in the hatred they get.

There's an increase in pro-Palestinian sentiment and a backlash against Zionism. Neither of these is necessarily antisemitic in the sense of being anti-Jewish, but they are widely interpreted as the same thing. Sadly, there are increases in genuine antisemitic and Islamophobic incidents. Regarding the latter, there was the case of the 6yo Muslim boy stabbed to death and his mother injured, and the shooting of three Muslim students, one of whom is now paralyzed.

Was this in the US?

Yes. The 6yo Palestinian American boy was stabbed 26 times last October by his landlord in Plainfield, IL. He died. His mother was stabbed a dozen times and survived. Detectives determined the attack was predicated on their being Muslim. Three college students (one each from Haverford, Trinity, and Brown) of Palestinian descent were shot in Vermont last November. They were wearing keffiyeh scarves at the time and conversing in both English and Arabic. The 20yo student from Brown is now paralyzed from the chest down. American Muslims say the spike in Islamophobic incidents since October 7 is reminiscent of the post-9/11 period.

Is that anything to compare to the living hell Jewish people in the US are currently having to endure as they watch posters of their beloved hostages defaced and defiles by brutal, heartless pro-Hamas terrorists? As they hear the crazy left calling for their genocide through ceasefire? As they are persecuted in the halls of their universities as the leaders of their schools go in front of congress to spew hate towards Jews to rapturous applause?

Do not try to claim anti-Muslim sentiment is even slightly comparable to the anti-semi Tim’s faced by the Jewish people. Period.

Are you trying to be ironic? Yes, being stabbed to death when you are six years old or shot or shot and paralyzed when you're 20 is a heck of a lot worse than seeing pictures of hostages defaced. Given the choice, I think most of us would prefer to watch an image being defiled than to be stabbed to death or shot and paralyzed. I mean, that's a no-brainer.

Also, calls for a ceasefire are NOT calls for Jewish genocide. They are calls to PREVENT Palestinian genocide. Gaza is virtually uninhabitable, Palestinian children are being butchered in their thousands, and starvation and disease are killing innocent Palestinians. Why would anyone with an ounce of humanity NOT call for a ceasefire?

I also don't see anyone "spewing hate" towards Jews. The criticism is partly of Zionism, but more specifically of Israel's absolutely barbaric behavior in Gaza and in the West Bank.

Only a pathological narcissist with a master race complex would think the incidents you describe are worse than the brutal attacks I described. Have you absolutely no empathy or compassion for Palestinians or people of Palestinian descent? I am frankly shocked and disgusted by your Islamophobia and your astonishingly jaw-dropping sense of entitlement.

You listed two incidents in which Muslims were killed/injured. They may be tragic, but that does not even scratch the surface of the pain and suffering of the Jewish people.

To YOU watching hateful bigots who pray for the genocide of the Jewish people rip down the posters of our beloved hostages might not be traumatic, because you are clearly a Hamas supporter. But for Jewish Americans, watching people we once believed to be friends deface the images placed so carefully and thoughtfully to commemorate the beautiful Israelis stolen from us is deeply traumatic, and would constitute an act of pure, unadulterated terrorism against the Jewish people. For the Jewish people, it is like they were stolen again when we witness such unadulterated hatred towards their memory.

And yes, calling for a ceasefire is akin to calling for the genocide of all Jews. Hamas’ sole goal is the complete genocide of all Jews globally, they will never abide by any ceasefire. Calling for a ceasefire does nothing but strip Israel of its rights to self defense against the ongoing genocide of its people. Additionally, calling for a ceasefire is calling for the genocide of the Palestinian people, as should Israel remove their troops, they will also have to end their humanitarian mission to remove the genocidal Hamas from power in Gaza.

And yes, Jewish students are being brutalized on college campuses by pro-genocide/pro-Hamas protesters.

https://nypost.com/2023/12/15/news/jewish-mit-students-say-college-didnt-stop-yearlong-campaign-of-hate/amp/

https://nypost.com/2023/12/09/news/jewish-upenn-students-subjected-to-chants-of-we-are-hamas/amp/

https://www.timesofisrael.com/critics-say-us-colleges-double-standards-let-rabid-antisemitism-thrive-on-campus/amp/

Please stop trying to equate isolated anti-muslim crimes with the extreme levels of anti-Semitic hate all Jews are currently facing. It’s disgusting you would even compare the two.

You said that it was worse for Jewish people to see images of hostages being defaced than it was for a 6yo child to die in a particularly terrifying and painful way (stabbing) or for a 20yo college kid to be shot and paralyzed. That tells me everything that I need to know about your racism. You obviously think your feelings are more important than Muslim kids' survival or ability to walk.

Having just outed yourself as a self-absorbed, self-loving tender blossom who values your feelings above the life of a 6yo child, you then exhibit stunning irrationality by claiming I'm a "Hamas supporter" for pointing out Islamophobic cruelty. And you insist that good people protesting for a ceasefire to save lives in Gaza must want "Jewish genocide."

Do you seriously have so little humanity and compassion that you cannot see the good in people who want to stop horrific suffering in Gaza and are therefore calling for a ceasefire? And can you possibly be so extraordinarily narcissistic that the stabbing death of a real life child means less to you than your feelings about images (not human) being defaced (not stabbed)??? It's hard to understand, but you actually seem to feel insulted that anyone is talking about Islamophobia and these horrible attacks on young Muslims because it diverts attention from you and your issues. Like I said, pathological narcissism.

This. It's heartbreaking, and there is plenty of evidence to indicate it is deliberate part of the ethnic cleansing policy. Kill their voices. Kill their ideas. Kill their children.

100% true. These devout Jews are often abused by Israeli police: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cu9izRis0CA

Many of whom were peace seeking advocates and are now dead at the hands of Palestinians.

To YOU watching hateful bigots who pray for the genocide of the Jewish people rip down the posters of our beloved hostages might not be traumatic, because you are clearly a Hamas supporter. But for Jewish Americans, watching people we once believed to be friends deface the images placed so carefully and thoughtfully to commemorate the beautiful Israelis stolen from us is deeply traumatic, and would constitute an act of pure, unadulterated terrorism against the Jewish people. For the Jewish people, it is like they were stolen again when we witness such unadulterated hatred towards their memory.

And yes, calling for a ceasefire is akin to calling for the genocide of all Jews. Hamas’ sole goal is the complete genocide of all Jews globally, they will never abide by any ceasefire. Calling for a ceasefire does nothing but strip Israel of its rights to self defense against the ongoing genocide of its people. Additionally, calling for a ceasefire is calling for the genocide of the Palestinian people, as should Israel remove their troops, they will also have to end their humanitarian mission to remove the genocidal Hamas from power in Gaza.

Please stop trying to equate isolated anti-muslim crimes with the extreme levels of anti-Semitic hate all Jews are currently facing. It’s disgusting you would even compare the two.

There is an ongoing genocide of Jews going on? Interesting. Can you supply the body count numbers?
