Al Jazeera Caught Colluding With Hamas to Torture and Silence Journalists

The mask has finally slipped. Al Jazeera, the Qatar-based “news” network often praised by the Left and embraced by the global media elite, has been caught red-handed working directly with Hamas terrorists to torture, intimidate, and silence independent journalists in Gaza.

A newly released investigation by the Center for Peace Communications and The Free Press reveals that Al Jazeera’s presence in Gaza is not journalism it’s state-sponsored terror masquerading as reporting.

According to whistleblowers inside Gaza, Al Jazeera's staff are either Hamas members or fully approved by the terror group before being hired. One independent journalist stated plainly, “You have to be affiliated with Hamas to work at Al-Jazeera. Hamas decides who gets hired.”

It gets worse.

• Al Jazeera actively helps Hamas identify and hunt down critics, including journalists who report truthfully on the regime's brutality.

• Their reporters act as reconnaissance operatives, using their journalistic cover to track movements and facilitate attacks.

• Targets critical of Hamas are lured often under the guise of interviews into Hamas-controlled buildings, where they are beaten, tortured, and crippled.

One Gazan reporter shared how his legs were broken by Hamas after being entrapped by an Al Jazeera staffer. Another detailed how Al Jazeera journalists bought off local families in northern Gaza to suppress anti-Hamas protests.

This isn’t speculation. It’s backed by intelligence. The Israeli Defense Forces have identified at least six Al Jazeera reporters with direct ties to Hamas and Islamic Jihad:

• Anas Jamal Mahmoud Al-Sharif

• Alaa Abdul Aziz Muhammad Salama

• Hossam Basel Abdul Karim Shabat

• Ashraf Sami Ashour Saraj

• Ismail Farid Muhammad Abu Omar

• Talal Mahmoud Abdul Rahman Aruki

One Al Jazeera writer was even caught harboring Israeli hostages in his home after the October 7 massacre a direct act of war and terrorism, not journalism.

Where’s the outrage from CNN? From The New York Times? From every journalist who lectures Americans about “press freedom”? Silent, of course. Because when the press serves their ideological goals, it seems terrorism is just part of the job.

This isn’t just a media scandal. It’s a geopolitical threat.

Qatar, which funds Al Jazeera, also bankrolls Hamas. Their propaganda arm isn’t just reporting on the conflict they are facilitating it. And the Biden administration continues to treat Al Jazeera as a legitimate news organization instead of what it clearly is: a PR firm for jihadists.

Meanwhile, leftist politicians and activist groups in the U.S. continue to treat Al Jazeera as a reliable source, pushing their footage into congressional hearings, universities, and even classrooms all while it actively targets journalists for torture and death.

This is the same Hamas that’s slaughtered civilians, used hospitals as human shields, and taken children hostage. And now we know they had help from mainstream “journalists” in Gaza, embedded in one of the most influential Arab networks in the world.

Al Jazeera is not a news outlet. It is an extension of a terror regime, fully complicit in its crimes. And it’s high time the United States government treats it that way.
