Al Jazeera is condemning threats by the Israeli army against the family of its Gaza correspondent Youmna ElSayed. On Monday, ElSayed’s husband received a call from Israeli forces warning family members to immediately leave their home or be killed in a bombardment. The threat comes just days after an Israeli strike killed 12 family members of Al Jazeera’s Gaza bureau chief Wael al-Dahdouh, including his two children and grandson. Al Jazeera said in a statement, “Israel’s actions continue with impunity as they attempt to silence the messenger.” Democracy Now! spoke to Youmna ElSayed last week. Youmna ElSayed: “Homes were targeted. Hospitals were targeted. In these same areas that people were asked to evacuate, hundreds of families who had evacuated from the north and from Gaza City were killed in those bombings. When we say there is no safe place in Gaza, we’re not lying.”
No it isnt. Thats completely credible.
Im genuinely shocked they warned a single victim.
They frequently warn people by only blowing their shit up a little bit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roof_knocking
Having Hamas fire a rocket from your building is probably more damage than the knocks.
If someone fired a rocket from the top of your building you would know. And you would leave. It’s not exactly a quiet thing.
Now think about how many times that excuse gets deployed. Israel is straight up lying.
Because Hamas asks for permission before firing their rockets?
Hamas is the literal government so perhaps they should? Of courses they just torture and murder dissidents so it’s not like you can say no.
