Ugh, this one hit like a ton of bricks. They are all valuable lives but idk why, this one in particular hurts.
Death to the false entity.
Who was the “Hamas terrorist” Israel justified this slaughter with?
He was the target. Allegedly reported in Israeli media (I don’t have a link), but the strike was a “surgical” (I hate the term) strike on the specific apartment he was in, not just the entire building like they so often do.
When pressed about it, Israeli propaganda will point to a joke he made on Twitter about the fake “baby in an oven” atrocity propaganda story, mark my words.

Literally only the houthis and to an extent Hezbollah are trying to help the Palestinians. It’s depressing how everyone else is just a US client state.
Nooooooo I knew he’d gone silent on twitter but fuck it’s confirmed?
Goddamn it man I know it’s kinda dumb /parasocial for this one death to hit so much harder than the other 15k+ but this one has had me sobbing.
Me too. I have just been in complete shock since I found out he was killed. His wry humor and sarcasm in the face of this madness really made an impression on me.
I checked up on him on twitter first thing everyday when I woke up. There were plenty anxious times when the internet was taken down and there was no news. I was always so relieved when he came back online.
I completely broke down on reading the news today. This madness needs to stop!
I will do what I can to keep his story alive.
He was supposed to be on the Deprogram soon as a guest, with an episode devoted to his work with WeAreNotNumbers and his travels across the Middle East. This is a horrible loss. Rest In Peace.
