Jadi had gone to al-Awda Hospital with his wife, who was giving birth to their first child.
According to the Wafa news agency, while waiting for his wife, he decided to check in on his colleagues who were outside the hospital in the vehicle.
His brother, photographer Omar al-Jadi, documented the moments after the Israeli strike hit the vehicle.
“Guys, Ayman is inside. Ayman, my brother, is martyred,” he shouted in the video as he helplessly filmed the burning van.

Apparently telling the truth is antisemitic.
Can you please not do that? All you’re doing is using Israel’s definition of antisemitism and so whenever real antisemitism comes up, people can hide behind saying things like “antisemitism has lost its meaning now.”
Honestly, I’ve given up and just started calling people being antisemitic “bigots,” but you’re still not helping by using Israel’s terminology, even in a sarcastic way. Because you’re still helping to normalize it in a way that it can be dismissed.
(I expect to get heavily downvoted for this, but I don’t care.)
I understand your concern. The current Israeli cabinet uses that word to anything that opposes the government’s actions and it makes the word lose its real meaning.
However, I think that mocking the way Israel labels everything opposing the war as “antisemitic” does not undermine its real meaning but undermines the reputation of Israel using it inappropriately.
- Personal view, may be wrong.
It normalizes the concept. Which is what Israel wants. They want ‘antisemitism’ and ‘Israel criticism’ associated with it.
But more importantly, I have literally seen that sort of sarcastic comment about things that are actually bigoted now because people think that all they have to do is say, “I guess X is antisemitism now…” and suddenly it shifts to how Israel is co-opting the term- by co-opting the term.
Does that make sense? It’s an “any publicity is good publicity” situation.
Why do you require your own special word that’s exclusive to one particular religion? Why not just use bigot like every other situation?
Literally one post before this I said:
Honestly, I’ve given up and just started calling people being antisemitic “bigots,”
Right, you gave up. Implying that you did hold the opinion that there should be a special word for anti-jewish, and likely still do hold that position, but the meaning of the word has changed from your desired definition. I’m asking why you did, and maybe still do, believe anti-jewish should have its own unique word in the first place.
ETA: I’m asking legitimately. I’ve never understood why anti-jewish hate is so much more special than anti-muslim, anti-black, or any other sort of bigotry. I understand the persecution of Jews throughout history, but I also understand the persecution of Muslims, black people, etc. throughout history.
It’s not “more special”, it’s different. Context matters, and there are centuries of context. Anti Muslim slurs point to different stereotypes and belittle people in different ways than anti Jewish slurs. Why not have different words for the sake of accuracy? Most other categories of things have this linguistic construction, so why not bigotry?
I don’t really give a shit whether or not there is a unique word, but since there is a unique word, why let Israel get to define it and why let bigots get to agree with them?
If you don’t like the word, the solution is to stop using it and get others to also stop using it, not to use it sarcastically or ironically.
I think your point about sarcastic use of a statement to make fun of it being the same as saying it genuinely is nonsense.
The comment clearly makes fun of Israel’s misuse of the term, which is basically in agreement with your point that it should be differentiated from real antisemitism.
Your comment basically means the famous onion headline published about mass shootings contributes to people ignoring gun violence because they say there’s nothing you can do about it. which is completely false. that goes against the entire concept of sarcasm and satire.
They destroyed our ability to even use language effectively. Someone certainly read Orwell, and learned well.
Others are making sarcastic use of the same statement to make bigoted comments. That’s a big difference from the Onion headline.
Jeeesus, what the fuck man. Israel is just evil bullshit at this point, fuck those guys.
At this point? It wasn’t when they shot the people bringing aid in April?
Nah, I had already had serious reservations about Israeli intent after the initial attack.
At that point? It wasn’t when they expelled Palestinians from their homes in 1948?
I wasn’t born then. But yeah its been a while. Just thought it was funny the way he said “at this point”
The IDF is a terrorist organization.
What’s the toll at? Last time I heard it was in the hundreds of journalist
Article said it exceeds 200.
That’ll keep the press from saying bad things about you, right? Right?
Does the press say bad things about Israel?
Palestinian press does
Like, true bad things?
Depends if they’re on team doomsday prophet or not.
It stops press from being there at all
If I were a Palestinian journalist (the only journalists in Gaza since Israel is keeping everyone else in the press out), I would do as little as I could to draw attention to myself. It’s clear that Israel has declared open season on journalists and they don’t care if that’s a violation of international law.
“because reporting on crimes against humanity and war crimes committed by Israel is antisemitic” - Adolf Netanyahu
Well obviously the person that picked that target simply had Dyslexia and thought it said Hamas
Hamas. Clearly
If anyone hasnt, i fully recommend the Channel 5 w/ Andrew Callaghan episode where they travel to West Bank/Israel and get real eyewitness accounts of everything. There is a full segment there by an American journalist that was targeted by israel among a bunch of other journalists. Israel is without a doubt committing war crimes.
I almost forgot about him. Didn’t he get caught up in some sexual assault accusations or something like that, and then he stopped making content?
He might have, i dont know enough about it to comment. But he definitely is making content again, and its very high quality for how low budget it is.
It was always high-quality content. I thought he was done for, but it’s good to hear he is still making content. I’m not sure why my other comment got downvoted. What did i say wrong? It was only a statement and a question. Looking it up, it was true. It wasn’t assault bur was sexual misconduct, and he admitted it and went to therapy and AA following it.
Not to be dismissive of whatever it is he did to be charged with it, but it does sound like admitting to it and “serving” the time so to speak kinda helped everyone move on from it so he can continue making great content. Channel 5 is actually, honestly, the only news i can trust. Lol
