In case you cannot read it. He was playing press role when he died at the hands of Palestinians not Israel. He played many roles, fundraiser and sadly stole the money.

"Controversial Gaza activist, derogatorily called "Mr. FAFO" due to his performative antics and well known for his support of Hamas and raising an estimated $10 million to build a children's hospital, only to pocket the money, Saleh Al-Jafarawi, was killed today by unknown assailants. He was allegedly accompanying Hamas's "Saham" unit during clashes with the Doghmosh clan in Gaza City, possibly as a cameraman of sorts. Hamas-affiliated Telegram channels have been announcing his death, possibly as a way to incite further violence against the clan and justify even more killing of perceived opposition and alleged criminal elements."

Seems some Hamas are using his death to encourage other Palestinians to avenge his death and kill more Palestinians.... goodness it goes on and on and on ....

Are you the arbiter of conscience? I said I won't grieve for him. His actions fomented mischief.

“murdered earlier today by zionist collaborators" is code for not Hamas. It's a useful term for anyone that isn't Hamas because they know it will be cheered on by useful idiots. They really do use people.

He was really obviously identified in all his roles for his videos. I never understood why the media didn't highlight it as an example of the propoganda demonstrated by Hamas. I think he was even on the BBC at one point as a patient or a doctor.

Charming thread! 🥴

People didn't believe anyone who identified these fakes. It was easier to believe all bad was Israel and all good was Hamas.

On the citme board ?

“We” aren’t.

I am because he sounds like a monster to me.

Wrong. I couldn’t be happier the war is over.

A social media influencer who used his own people to garner support for Hamas, who cheered on Hamas, who raised money for his own people (but stole it) who then died at the hands of his own people. An actor, playing various roles on camera for all to see and many saw through it, lots didn't and he has/had many followers.

A strange person who was very convincing to useful idiots. These type of people are actually very dangerous to peace.

I'm very glad the war is over.

I'm sorry that Hamas are killing any clan/opposition/collaborators/brave uprisers (pick your word depending on .... )

I'm sorry the Palestinians might struggle to get better leaders to go forward in prosperity. They really need help but with Hamas there will probably continue the cycle.

Cheering on the deaths of social media influencers is very 2025.

For the record, I wasn't all that keen on him, he seemed like a bit of a fool. But he was trying to get people out of burning buildings, rather than shutting them inside a la Mr Beast.

But celebrating yet another death at a time of ceasefire? Seriously?

There is no way he wasn’t a member of Hamas.
Good riddance to him and his ilk.

More costumes than Mr Benn.

The same thought crossed my mind. As if by magic.....
Of course that was on his days off from being the homepride flour man.

You also think Sinwar was great so maybe you're not a great judge of character.

and @BoredZelda
and any lurkers with empathy

Ive reported this thread ( perhaps you could too ) which some posters are using to glorify the death of another

This is not in the spirit on mumsnet or humankind

Some Really disgusting and hateful posts on here

Are we cheering the deaths of people we don't like now?

I mean have you seen the Ian Watkins thread??

The loon Carole Cadwallander is mourning him on twitter, she seems to think Israel killed him.
He was definately Hamas-associated and probably an embezzling grifter but he provided some light relief in a horrible situation, in a weird kind of way.

He was a terrorist.

This thread provides proof of Hamas lies. It's probably better if it stays up otherwise people will deny that it ever happened. Mr FAFO did his best to manipulate people to the cause of Hamas. Some people are going to be happy he can no longer do that as what he did in no way helped the Gazans.

He seemed like a funny, intelligent and witty man, it's a shame he used his talents to promote terrorism.

It's sad - just think what he could have been in a different world. One event that illustrates what a waste extremism is.

Yet another example of the cycle of hatred continuing.

Hardly. He was a key exponent of the cycle of hatred, aren't you pleased that he can no longer operate in that way?

No
I’d rather see him tried in a court for any crimes committed
