CNN: Instead Of Killing al-Sharif, Israel Should Have Asked Al Jazeera To Fire Him
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/12/2025 10:48:43 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

On Tuesday's CNN This Morning, CNN global affairs correspondent Kimberly Dozier said it "doesn't matter" if al-Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif was a Hamas operative. What's important is that he was "reporting on air on a prominent channel to millions of people."

So it was wrong for Israel to kill him. According to Dozier, what the IDF should have done was to build a case on al-Sharif, "present it to Al Jazeera and say, you've got to fire this guy."

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

“Al Jazeera HR? IDF here.

“Gonna come as a shock to you, but al-Sharif’s a Hamas terrorist.

“Wondering if you might consider recalling him to Qatar, or even—and we don’t want to go overboard—but even, you know, possibly firing him?” 🤣

Al Jazeera should be thanking Israel for saving it having to pay severance pay to this terrorist if they would have actually fired him.

CNN, the ones who only show up when they’ve been tipped off there will be an assassination. Way beyond ironic.

Israel should have dropped Kimberly Dozier off in Gaza in an IDF uniform, with a cell phone, so’s Anus al-Sharif and the boys could have beamed the fun to the Internet.

If a terrorist is “reporting on air on a prominent channel to millions of people,” does she think he is telling them the truth?

The IDF ain't got a hair on their butts unless they put out video memes of al-Sharif's death:

CNN displays the patent absurdity that explains its pathetic audience numbers...

Typical Leftist thinking. The fact that he's reaching millions of viewers is the important thing to her. Notice how this CNN idiot doesn't care that what he is saying is a crock of crap. The only important thing is the numbers. Well, if that's the case, your tenure at CNN is just about to do an impersonation of a train wreck as the CNN ratings are in free fall.

What about the other 185 or 174 or 233 or 237 journalists killed so far? Figures vary, but they indicate that what’s going on may be bigger than just this one guy.

BBC

Sharif and another correspondent, Mohammed Qreiqeh, along with cameramen Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal and Moamen Aliwa were in a tent for journalists at the hospital’s main gate when it was struck, the broadcaster said.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed it had targeted Sharif, alleging he had “served as the head of a terrorist cell in Hamas”.

It also said he had “advanced rocket attacks on Israeli civilians and IDF troops” and claimed to have Hamas documents that showed he had been in one of the group’s units in 2019.

In its latest statement, the IDF accused Sharif of posing as a journalist, and said it had previously “disclosed intelligence” confirming his military affiliation, which included “lists of terrorist training courses”.

CNN has always been in Hamas pocket. I think on Oct 7th they had to try real hard to contain their excitement

“the Soviet parliament, the Supreme Soviet of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, on March 12, 1950, passed a law on the defense of peace:
....
1. To recognize that war propaganda under whatever form it is made, undermines the cause of peace, creates the threat of a new war and is the gravest crime against humanity.
2.To bring to court persons guilty of war propaganda and to try them as having committed a most grave criminal offense.

“In other socialist countries, as is known, legislation against war propaganda was also adopted.”

CNN now say what hammas should have done instead of killing and capturing all those in Israel.

CNN clearly thinks they are special class of humans that are exempt from the consequences of their actions.
