In a striking example of how PBS NewsHour—often criticized for their anti-Israel slant under anchors like its head Amna Nawaz—continue to whitewash Hamas sympathizers as mere "humanitarians," the recent death of Saleh Aljafarawi serves as a sobering reminder of the dangers of unchecked propaganda. Aljafarawi, a 28-year-old Gaza-based social media influencer and self-proclaimed journalist, was gunned down on October 12, 2025, in Gaza City's Sabra neighborhood amid brutal clan wars that claimed at least 27 lives. Far from being an impartial observer, Aljafarawi was a vocal Hamas affiliate whose elimination by anti-Hamas forces underscores the internal fractures within Gaza's terrorist ecosystem—fractures that Israel's decisive military campaign over the past two years has exacerbated, paving the way for potential liberation from Hamas's iron grip.
This incident, unfolding just days after a U.S.-brokered ceasefire took effect (including Israeli troop withdrawals, hostagereleases, and aid corridors), highlights the fragility of peace when Hamas clings to power. The clashes erupted between Hamas enforcers and the powerful Doghmush clan, a militia accused of ambushing Hamas operatives and even collaborating with anti-terror elements. In the chaos, Aljafarawi—wearing a press flak jacket for cover while filming the violence—was shot in the head, his body later found on the back of a truck. Hamas's Al-Aqsa TV confirmed his death, but tellingly, Palestinian sources quickly pivoted to blaming "Israel-linked militias," a narrative that ignores how Israel's operations have empowered local resistance against the terrorists who orchestrated the October 7, 2023, massacre of 1,200 Israelis.
Aljafarawi's demise is particularly poetic givens his notoriety as "Mr. FAFO" (F*** Around and Find Out), a moniker coined by pro-Israel activists after they juxtaposed two of his viral videos. On October 7, 2023—the day Hamas launched its barbaric assault involving rape, murder, and hostage-taking—Aljafarawi gleefully celebrated the attacks in a video, clad in Hamas's signature green t-shirt, hailing the terrorists as heroes. Months later, as Israeli forces rightfully targeted Hamas infrastructure, he filmed himself weeping in feigned terror amid airstrikes, a stark contrast that exposed his hypocrisy. Banned from Instagram (where he once boasted 5.5 million followers) for promoting violence, he shifted to X, where he funneled donor funds to Hamas, posed in propaganda stunts as a "freedom fighter" or even a staged corpse, and amplified anti-Israel vitriol. His content routinely glorified Hamas leaders like Yahya Sinwar and downplayed the group's use of civilians as human shields—a tactic that has prolonged Gaza's suffering while Israel has gone to extraordinary lengths to minimize civilian casualties.
This is not the story of a neutral "humanitarian" felled by war's cruelty, as biased outlets might spin it. It's a cautionary tale of how Hamas embeds its propagandists in the media ecosystem, blurring lines between journalism and jihad. Israel's campaign has decimated Hamas's capabilities, freeing Gaza from its stranglehold and allowing clans like the Doghmush to rise up—ironically delivering the "find out" to one of the terror group's loudest cheerleaders. As reconstruction begins under the ceasefire, with aid flowing and hostages returning home, stories like Aljafarawi's remind us why Israel must remain vigilant: true peace demands the total eradication of Hamas, not its rebranding as victims.
For further reading on Aljafarawi's pro-Hamas ties, his October 7 celebration, and the circumstances of his death in anti-Hamas infighting:

I thought we defunded Pee BS.
Someone should have told him:
“You live by that sword, you die by that sword.”
It is like the gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia who is concerned for his life if he were deported to El Salvador.
Who cares? I don’t. Kilmar Abrego Garcia was a gang member, involved no doubt in human trafficking, murders, and worse. So if he gets sent there and is killed by rivals, nobody cares.
Nobody should care.
Same for this Hamas mouthpiece. He should have gotten the same brutal treatment his comrades gave Israelis on October 7th.
You gotta love “anti Hamas forces”.
