A video clip from an Al Jazeera interview is circulating online after a reporter cut off the broadcast from a Gaza hospital as the patient made an unwelcome statement.
The network’s correspondent was reporting from a Gaza hospital.
During the live broadcast, he appears to abruptly end the interview with an injured Palestinian man.
The man was cut off by the reporter as he started criticizing the presence of Hamas terrorists in the complex.
The Al Jazeera reporter was at the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Gaza.
The elderly Palestinian man told the reporter that terrorists were hiding among the wounded in the hospital.
According to a rough translation, the man told the reporter:
“What’s happening is criminal!
“Why is the resistance hiding among us?
“Why don’t they go to hell and hide there?
“They are not resistance!”
In the clip, the reporter, whose identity is unclear, then turns away from his interview subject and appears to quickly change the subject.
The man continues to talk and tries to follow the journalist, even as he’s walking away from him.
However, the reporter ignores the man and refuses to continue the interview.

Several commenters online have criticized the Qatari-funded network for “silencing” the truth.
Others allege Al Jazeera is outright supporting Hamas and chided its coverage of the ongoing conflict as one-sided.
Last month, the family of a prominent Al Jazeera correspondent was killed in Gaza.
The network blamed a purported Israeli airstrike for their deaths.
Earlier this month, the BBC aired footage of a grieving Palestinian woman having her mouth covered by rescue workers.
The woman was silenced after she blamed the “dogs of Hamas” for an explosion in Gaza that the media claimed was caused by an Israeli airstrike.
Who knew?? Al-jazzsinger supports terrorists.
I wonder if the reporter is pro Hamas? 🙃
In Vietnam the Americans sent doctors around to the villages to inoculate the people against disease. Then the VC came along and hacked off the arms of people who had been inoculated. An American soldier serving as a guard for an American journalist asked why he wasn’t taking photos of the carnage. The journalist said, words to the effect of, “I’m not here to document the VC, I’m here to document the crimes of America.”
No, no, all journalists are always strictly neutral. It’s integral to their professionalism.
(/s for those who need it)
CBS Morning is sending their reporter to interview the head of Hamas, who said they were just retaliating on October 7 in response to an attack by Israel...the reporter didn’t blink and eye. So sad our Leftist activist media.
There are no journalists, only propagandists.
.
You got it bro.
Just kind of makes one wonder where the HAMAS headquarters are in the US and if media knew, would they hide it.
The guy being interviewed is quite brave.
Comments like his could easily lead to him being found in a drainage ditch in Gaza City with his tongue cut out and a couple of bullet holes in his head.
“Last month, the family of a prominent Al Jazeera correspondent was killed in Gaza.”
Good. Now do all the rest of them.

Notice, he said:
“They are not resistance!”......................
Guessing that patient is no longer among the living.
“ Peter Jennings and Mike Wallace Agree: Reporters First, Americans Second
In a future war involving U.S. soldiers what would a TV reporter do if he learned the enemy troops with which he was traveling were about to launch a surprise attack on an American unit? That's just the question Harvard University professor Charles Ogletree Jr, as moderator of PBS’ Ethics in America series, posed to ABC anchor Peter Jennings and 60 Minutes correspondent Mike Wallace. Both agreed getting ambush footage for the evening news would come before warning the U.S. troops.
For the March 7 installment on battlefield ethics Ogletree set up a theoretical war between the North Kosanese and the U.S.-supported South Kosanese. At first Jennings responded: “If I was with a North Kosanese unit that came upon Americans, I think I personally would do what I could to warn the Americans.”
Wallace countered that other reporters, including himself, “would regard it simply as another story that they are there to cover.” Jennings’ position bewildered Wallace: “I'm a little bit of a loss to understand why, because you are an American, you would not have covered that story.”
“Don't you have a higher duty as an American citizen to do all you can to save the lives of soldiers rather than this journalistic ethic of reporting fact?” Ogletree asked. Without hesitating Wallace responded: “No, you don't have higher duty...you're a reporter.” This convinces Jennings, who concedes, “I think he's right too, I chickened out.”
Ogletree turns to Brent Scrowcroft, now the National Security Adviser, who argues “you're Americans first, and you're journalists second.” Wallace is mystified by the concept, wondering “what in the world is wrong with photographing this attack by North Kosanese on American soldiers?” Retired General William Westmoreland then points out that “it would be repugnant to the American listening public to see on film an ambush of an American platoon by our national enemy.”
A few minutes later Ogletree notes the “venomous reaction” from George Connell, a Marine Corps Colonel. “I feel utter contempt. Two days later they're both walking off my hilltop, they're two hundred yards away and they get ambushed. And they're lying there wounded. And they're going to expect I'm going to send Marines up there to get them. They're just journalists, they're not Americans.”
Wallace and Jennings agree, “it's a fair reaction.” The discussion concludes as Connell says: “But I'll do it. And that's what makes me so contemptuous of them. And Marines will die, going to get a couple of journalists.”
I watched this show live decades ago. I was disgusted then and more so now. The good thing? From that point on, I never trusted the News aka MSM.
I know of this exhange and in my hjistory of being in the military and at one time also a journalist—I don;t understand their view point. Now I understand that if one knew of the ambush and COULD NOT warn their fellow Americans then that is that. But could not is vastly different than WOULD NOT—Hence these “journalists” at least deserve distain.
They’re probably posing as doctors, nurses and patients.
Mz. Malarkey would’ve cleared this right up.
