The Israeli Defense Forces on Sunday accused a prominent journalist– who in recent months has reported regularly for Al Jazeera from Gaza – of moonlighting as a senior Hamas commander.

The Israeli Defense Forces have published photos they say were discovered on a laptop in Gaza that show Al Jazeera journalist Mohamed Washah engaged in Hamas terrorist activities.

Neither Al Jazeera nor the Qatari government have responded to the Sun’s request for comment.

      The original source is a comic that demonstrates it fairly well, although the current definition is a bit broader. I look out for:

      • persistent questioning that diverges from the core of a discussion
      • focusing on pedantic claims
      • demanding ever-increasing evidence
      • placing an undue burden of proof on an individual or their claims (“undue” is the key word)
      • demanding evidence of a person’s opinion
      • following someone from one conversation to another (thank goodness that rarely happens on Lemmy! On other platforms it can be terrible)
      • (of course) the illusion of civility and willingness to listen
