Gazan photographer Motaz Azaiza said he filmed Israeli hostages being beaten by Gazans on October 7, but chose not to publish it out of fear of putting the Palestinians involved at risk.

🔴ELIMINATED: Yahya Hamdouna & Muhammad Rafaei, 2 terrorists who infiltrated Israel on October 7, & Basir Al-Barsh, a Nukhba commander.
Recently, the terrorists advanced attacks against Israeli civilians & IDF troops and operated to restore Hamas’ capabilities, in systematic violation of the ceasefire.
The terrorists were eliminated in order to remove the threat.
“Journalist” was just a cover for their true day job.
Many actual journalists always knew this to be the case, but they don’t let the truth get in the way of pushing an anti-Israel message.
Report: Al Jazeera has fired 24 journalists and staff members who worked for the network in the Gaza Strip, amid a lawsuit filed in the US accusing the Qatari broadcaster of providing support to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ).

Motaz Azaiza strikes me as a naïve young man who vaulted into global fame after October 7, part of a generation raised under Hamas’s shadow. Though not a Hamas operative himself, what he’s now revealing across podcasts and interviews is extraordinarily consequential: Hamas exercised total control over journalism and media in Gaza, and every layer of public life was co-opted in support of its interests and narratives.
In this clip, he openly admits that he moved around Gaza in Palestinian Red Crescent ambulances, a system long exploited by malign actors, including Hamas, for protected mobility. This isn’t unique to Gaza; combatants in many conflicts have abused medical vehicles to gain battlefield advantage. None of that necessarily excuses Israeli strikes on ambulances. But it does expose Gaza’s open secret: non‑medical personnel routinely used the health sector for shelter, transit, access, and resupply.
This compromised ecosystem inevitably created opportunities for Hamas and other violent extremist actors, responsible for severe harm and repression, to operate under humanitarian cover, inviting Israeli suspicion and retaliatory force that ended up killing innocent Palestinians.
⚠️ Palestinian “journalist” admits to being Hamas propaganda agent and censoring “reporting” to protect Hamas terrorists.
The media must face accountability for uncritically pushing Hamas propaganda from agents of the terror group.
Watch this entire thread if you want to understand how propagandized the "press" are in Gaza, and subsequently Western media who repeat their "journalism".
Motaz Azaiza, a Gazan journalist evacuated during the war and someone who has personally attacked me, is finally saying the blunt truth. Gaza‑based “journalists,” whether tied to Al Jazeera, Hamas, foreign outlets, or social media, systematically self‑censored and hid anti‑Hamas sentiments inside the Strip. Their mission was to maintain a narrative centered solely on Israel and to erase any dissent, criticism of Hamas, or diversity in Palestinian views. Azaiza describes how he struggled with supposed “journalists” who shut off their cameras whenever Gazans condemned Hamas or tried to hold it responsible for the catastrophe it brought upon them, from October 7 to the ruinous “resistance” mythology that followed.
So to anyone repeating the line that Gaza had “more journalists killed than WWII and Vietnam combined,” think carefully about who and what you are calling a journalist in territory fully controlled by a violent extremist organization responsible for severe harm and repression. This does not deny that Israel’s offensive killed or injured real journalists. But it does expose how tightly Hamas has curated and policed the narrative for three years since October 7.
A friend of mine from Gaza shared a video of Hamas attacking a defenseless Israeli father in Sderot on October 7, trying to shield his baby daughter from danger, asking if whoever killed that man protecting his child hopes to somehow “enter heaven” afterward. It didn’t take long for the post to go viral and attract the rage and ire of the Jihadi and pro-Hamas voices in the “pro-Palestine” movement, particularly among Palestinians, Arabs, and Muslims in Western diaspora communities. These are the same people who will tell you that they are “not pro-Hamas,” but are pro-the Palestinian people, even though every ounce of their existence, activism, rhetoric, and being is about supporting antisemitic violence against Jews, regardless of how innocent they are. For many, they claim to care about Palestinian and Gazan voices until those voices offer uncomfortable and inconvenient perspectives. A disgusting shame!
Amazing thread about an important interview with a Gaza journalist who makes dozens of credible claims about media coverage of Hamas that every major western outlet should have to address.
Motaz Azaiza, a "photojournalist" formerly based in Gaza, admits: Hamas manages a group chat that includes every journalist in Gaza.
All of the media campaigns coming out of Gaza were orchestrated propaganda efforts.
Motaz Azaiza is forcing a reckoning the “pro‑Palestine” movement never anticipated. Because he’s celebrated by activists, politicians, and journalists and can’t be smeared as a “Zionist shill,” his admission carries weight: Gaza’s journalism space functioned under Hamas’s control, and any reporter who deviated from the group’s narrative risked “disappearing behind the sun.” That single truth reshapes how we understand the stories pushed out of Gaza since October 7 and explains why dissent against Hamas’s rule never surfaced publicly. Western journalists and outsiders, unaware of this coercive ecosystem, ended up amplifying Hamas’s information warfare rather than scrutinizing it.
BOMBSHELL: Motaz Azaiza admits he filmed Israeli hostages being beaten in the streets of Gaza on October 7, and deliberately never published it, to protect the identities of the people beating them.
He did post other October 7 footage that day, celebrating the attack. He quietly deleted it later.
Azaiza is an influential "photojournalist" from Ghazza. TIME named him to the TIME 100. He was nominated for the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize. CNN, the Guardian and Sky all interviewed him.
Ms. Rachel Griffin-Accurso, who has 16 million subscribers, made a video for preschoolers introducing "my friend Motaz." She deleted it later.
Two weeks ago, he did a 3 hour and 38 minute interview in Arabic.
He made a number of EXTRAORDINARY admissions.

Fact check: Abdul El-Sayed, in his Morning Joe appearance this morning, said he only appeared with Hasan Piker once during the primary campaign.
Reality is that he was at five different events with Piker — and during two different time frames (April and August).
