So, a funeral was held for an Al Jazeera employee in Gaza. Apparently, they kicked the bucket courtesy of an Israeli strike. Now, according to the Usual Suspects, this brings the grand total of “journalists” six feet under since October to over 260. Cue the outrage theater!

Let’s get real for a hot sec. Al Jazeera? Seriously? That's like taking Pravda at face value back in the USSR. They're not exactly known for their unbiased reporting, are they? It's basically Hamas's PR wing with a satellite uplink. So, forgive me if I don't exactly shed a tear when one of their 'reporters' catches a stray round in a war zone. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes, amirite?

I mean, c’mon, it’s Gaza. It’s not exactly a picnic blanket and sunshine kinda place. It's a Hamas-run terror-topia. What do you expect when you're running around with a camera crew in a place that makes Mad Max look like a quaint English garden party? A Pulitzer Prize?

Of course, the usual suspects are gonna scream about “war crimes” and “targeting journalists.” Give me a break. It's war. Things happen. Collateral damage is a thing. And let's be honest, how many of these “journalists” are actually just Hamas operatives with cameras? Occam’s Razor suggests the simplest explanation is often the correct one.

And let’s not forget, Israel’s got every right to defend itself. Hamas is a terrorist organization whose sole purpose is the destruction of the Jewish state. So if some “journalist” happens to get caught in the crossfire while covering for Hamas, well, that’s just the cost of doing business. Sucks to suck.

All of this is, of course, perfectly predictable. The outrage machine will churn, the media will wail, and the UN will pass another useless resolution condemning Israel for existing. It's the same song and dance every time. Nothing ever changes.

Meanwhile, the real problems in the world get ignored. The border's still wide open, inflation is still crushing the middle class, and the elites are still laughing all the way to the bank. But hey, at least we’re all properly outraged about a dead Al Jazeera reporter in Gaza. Priorities, people!

So, pour one out for the fallen 'journalist,' I guess. Just don't expect me to believe it's anything more than another cog in the propaganda machine going down.

Another propagandist bites the dust in a warzone? Sounds about right. Maybe invest in body armor next time, buttercup.
