Qatari news network Al Jazeera is stridently denying any link to Gaza-based journalist Abdallah Aljamal, amid unverified rumors that hostage Noa Argamani had been held at his home in central Gaza’s Nuseirat.

According to various rumors, some of which have been picked up by Hebrew-language media with varying levels of credulity, Argamani was held at the home of Dr. Ahmed Aljamal and his son Abdallah. They also claim that Abdallah is an employee of Al-Jazeera.

    if you have to kill thousands of children based on the claim that you’re protecting your nation

    My point is that this was something the Allied powers did as well, and they were the only thing that stopped the Axis powers. The scale and intent could be argued, but even though military conflicts are extremely horrific, I don’t always see a viable alternative.

    To be clear, I’m also not saying that the specifics of the Israel-Palestine conflict are the same as WWII.

      A viable alternative would be a one-world government, but that is the worst thing imaginable to a large number of people.

      As a Star Trek fan, I look forward to it.
