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.

    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
