National Post headline reads: IDF kills Hamas terror cell leader posing as 'Al Jazeera' journalist Subhead reads: Israeli strike in Gaza slays Hamas commander Anas al-Sharif, who posed as an 'Al Jazeera' journalist while directing rocket attacks on Israel

FUCK you @nationalpost.bsky.social.

This is unforgivable, traitorous shit from people claiming to be journalists.

How dare you accept this framing from a state that is SLAUGHTERING our colleagues.

How DARE you.

Anas al-Sharif, prominent Al Jazeera correspondent, among five journalists killed in Israeli airstrike on Gaza Israel admits deliberate attack on the journalist, known for frontline coverage, in a strike on a tent outside al-Shifa hospital

How to lose elections indefinitely.

A Palestinian state isn't a perfect solution, but it's the only realistic one ***

Meanwhile in Israeli media:

The Israeli military said it targeted and killed prominent journalist and Al Jazeera correspondent, Anas Al-Sharif, who was staying in a tent outside Al-Shifa hospital’s entrance marked “PRESS” along with 5 other journalists.

At least 186 journalists have been killed in Gaza in the past 22 months.

Zionists are still trying to pretend Israel isn’t deliberately hunting journalists, as though we didn’t all see the IDF directly bomb the state broadcasting building in the heart of Tehran.

Al Jazeera news snippet: • Mon, Aug 11 | 30 minutes ago Gaza's death toll rises Israeli attacks have killed 68 people and injured 326 in the last 24-hour reporting period, says Gaza's Health Ministry, adding that another body killed in an earlier attack has also been recovered. Twenty-nine of the those victims were killed while seeking aid, it said in a statement. The casualties bring the total death toll in Gaza during the war to 61,499, with 153,575 others wounded, according to the ministry.

Al Jazeera news snippet: © Mon, Aug 11 | 15 minutes ago Israeli attack kills 6 aid seekers in Rafah Israeli forces have fired at and killed at least six Palestinians seeking aid near distribution centres in the Rafah area, our colleagues on the ground cite Nasser Hospital as saying. As we've reported, Israeli forces have regularly fired shots at crowds seeking aid at distribution sites since the US- and Israeli-backed GHF took over aid distribution in late May. The attacks have killed more than 1,800 people.

More aid massacres today.

The official number killed at aid sites by the IDF is over 1,800. It needs to be emphasized that this number is only bodies that make it to hospitals.

Many are left behind due to the impossibility of retrieving them under fire and the actual number is much, much higher.

I was going to say “not for the already dead,” but that’s not quite right.

The IDF were fine with a slow genocide while obviously preferring a fast genocide.

A Harris victory would continue down the same road as Biden - letting Israel do what it wants as long as it’s not too obvious.

Anas al-Sharif among 4 Al Jazeera journalists killed by Israel in Gaza City Al Jazeera staff killed in what appears to be a targeted Israeli attack on a tent housing journalists.

2024 was the deadliest year for journalists on record. The vast majority of those killed were murdered by Israel.

2025 is looking to be worse.

Q: What do you call an entity that bombs schools, hospitals, and refugee camps, while indiscriminately murdering countless numbers of innocent people, including doctors, journalists, aid workers, and children?

A: A terrorist organization.

Also, Israel.

Israel is a terrorist state.

I hope that people are starting to understand that if they continue to vote for Dems--even the good ones--they're keeping the entire party on life support and simply extending the duration that fascism can operate unopposed. You can't reform this. It must be destroyed, or it will keep getting worse.

"Prominent Democrats"

*Dems cover up a murder by police, hang out with Epstein, support genocide*

Liberals: "Nobody's perfect" 🤷‍♂️

*Worker at Taco Bell forgets to give them sauce packets*

Liberals: "You worthless mf! You better bring me your manager right the fuck NOW!"

Most liberals hold customer service representatives and food service workers to a much higher standard than politicians. They would be the very first to loudly complain to a manager if a worker even hinted that they weren't going to do something to their exact specifications.

Or they just have the same donors and flat out agree with Republicans on many issues.

That’s the point:

They should.

Air Force bid for Tesla Cybertrucks in target practice symbolizes the ‘evolving’ relationship between the Pentagon and Big Tech, expert says The ballooning demand from the military for innovative technology creates a “whole new sector” friendly to BigTech, an American University professor told Fortune.

Cybertrucks look like shit and can't really truck and buying one supports a fascist, but they can at least be useful for target practice.

Israel: We killed Anas al-Sharif, a journalist. We’re proud of this.

I'm pinning this thread because it keeps getting longer and the rationalizations from partisans to assuage their cognitive dissonance keep getting more desperate.

Why hasn't anyone ever tried lowering taxes on the rich?

Thrilled to share that I posted this selfie to Twitter and caused a former chief economist from TD bank to tank his own career ❤️

Apparently there are people in my comments who think:

A) Taxes don't actually pay for things

and

B) there is never any trade-off in terms of spending

because

C) the government can just print more money.

It's all total bullshit. Many years ago they boycotted apartheid South Africa. But with Israel "morals" fall flat in the face of financial interests. Canada is fully complicit in genocide and Israeli aggression.

Fuck Carney. Fuck every neoliberal corporatist to hell. Greed is the root of evil.

Path cleared for Canada to take part in Trump’s 'Golden Dome' missile shield Canadian officials told their American counterparts that roadblock's to joining Trump's Golden Dome missile defence system had been lifted.

The total cost of a completed "Golden Dome," named for the tyrant's favourite colour, could reach trillions of dollars.

I'll think of this when official framing around national pharmacare shifts to it being "just too expensive."
