🧵 I joined @piersmorgan to explain why Al Jazeera journalist Anas Al Sharif was a Hamas supporter who celebrated terror attacks against civilian Jews and Israelis.

I debated Anas’ colleague from Al Jazeera, Jamal, who - surprise surprise - is also a Hamas propagandist and an antisemite. Jamal has called Israel “cancer” and lied about what Hamas did on October 7 as it was happening. He referred to Shiri Bibas and her two children, Ariel and Kfir, as “settlers” and that there was no evidence of harm done to children on October 7.

If I had called Palestine “cancer” and celebrated Jewish terror attacks against Palestinian civilians my career would have ended in an hour.

But people like Jamas and Anas can do just that, and get away with it. Mainly because the world has gone into a mass psychosis after October 7.

Long 🧵 Israel killed Al Jazeera journalist Anas Al Sharif along with 4 other journalists in Gaza on Monday. But a closer look at Al-Sharif, the most popular of the 4, reveals his deep support for Hamas, outright glorification of terror attacks, close ties with Hamas members, and previous work for… Yes, Hamas.

Below are screenshots to document all this:Image 1: in September 2020, Al-Sharif posted pictures of him with a Hamas fighter, Khalil Lubbad, whom he mourned and blessed after died. The two seemed to have a personal relationship, with Al Sharif blessing him in a post on his Telegram account Image

I just saw indescribable, raw footage of Hamas’ massacre along with 100 other international journalists, provided by Israeli authorities. Here are the notes I took: 

1: Hamas terrorist screaming Allah Akhbah as he frantically tries to behead a dead man with a shovel. 2: A father and two sons (roughly 7 & 9) running for their lives in their underwear into what appears to be a bomb shelter with an open entrance. A Hamas terrorist throws a hand grenade into shelter, killing the father, and badly injuring the two sons who run back into the house
