After October 7th, a team called the "Legitimacy Cell" was established in AMAN. Intelligence personnel searched for information to help provide "legitimacy" for the military's actions in Gaza—failed Hamas launches, use of human shields, exploitation of the civilian population, all the things you know about.
A primary mission of the Legitimacy Cell was to find Gazan journalists who could be presented in the media as Hamas operatives in disguise. They actively went through journalists and searched. Entire days were invested in this, and they found nothing. Why look for a journalist in disguise? As I understand it, because it provides media "legitimacy" for the existing killing of journalists in general. After all, it’s enough to present one hospital as a Hamas headquarters to paint the destruction of the entire healthcare system in that light. One failed shot where Hamas hit civilians, and then, who knows, maybe all civilian deaths are on Hamas? Sowing doubt as a method to justify atrocities. Identifying a journalist as an operative in disguise whitewashes the killing of all other journalists.
I have no idea if Anas Al-Sharif joined Hamas in 2013 when he was 17, as claimed in the documents the military published. A journalist who doesn’t question the IDF spokesperson’s statements at this stage, after countless lies, is simply failing in their role. But it doesn’t matter. In the past two years, Al-Sharif has been doing systematic, courageous journalistic work, reporting to the entire world about the destruction of his people. This, while most Israeli journalism has normalized mass murder, starvation, and destruction, and betrayed its profession. The betrayal continues now in headlines reporting Al-Sharif’s death, fully adopting the IDF spokesperson’s statement, which, by its logic, suggests that the vast majority of journalists in Israel—if there’s any document showing they served in the military or did reserves at some point—are legitimate targets for elimination.
I think Israel killed Anas Al-Sharif simply because he was a journalist. The documents were the means. For the same reason they actively searched for journalists who could be presented as Hamas operatives: to provide "legitimacy" for the killing of journalists in general, some 230 journalists we’ve killed in Gaza since October 7th. And for the same reason international media is prevented from entering Gaza: so that the crimes are seen less.

The scale is unprecedented.
When I read about the wars in Chechnya and how the Russians leveled places like Grozny, there were dozens of journalists killed including many by contract killers. And that seemed like a lot!

This is the only thing that will change things. Israel needs to be an isolated, pariah state like South African became in the 1980s. Israeli citizens and politicians should also be barred from entering countries.
By the time the fascist regime ended in South Africa, it was just the US and Israel who were willing to do business. Europe has to step forward and realize their guilt and shame shouldn’t mask whats happening to Palestinians.
