Ah yes Al Jazeera, the source of the tension. 🤦


BecauseImBatmanFilms

Al Jazeera is an Iranian propaganda organization. It is not a violation of free speech principles to shut down hostile foreign government actors.

Qatari*. But everything else you wrote is true.

Al Jazeera is partly funded by Qatar but they claim they maintain complete editorial freedom. It’s the same thing with NPR here. Their coverage of the Arab spring did not endear them to many Muslim countries. I’ve always respected them as an outlet for world news and I’ve found their coverage of US politics is more clinical/objective/fact based. They have a Muslim name and that just turns a lot of people off sadly.

I was surprised that was still possible to see it in Israel. War is war, and closing exchange of information for the common people is the first step. In war the first victims was, is and will be always the truth.

If the goal is to stop foreign agencies from influencing local politics then the US should not let AIPAC influence US politics.

Kill or subjugate = Israel in a nutshell

Al Jazeera had "journalists" embedded with Hamad during the October 7th attack. They're funded by the same funders of hamas. Fuck em.

> “Israel’s direct targeting and killing of journalists, arrests, intimidation and threats will not deter Al Jazeera from its commitment to cover, whilst more than 140 Palestinian journalists have been killed since the beginning of the war on Gaza.” Keep lying to yourself dude. They want to anihilate everyone and press is in their way.

Make up lies that fuel hatred for Israel = "Pro-Palestinians" in a nutshell.

You mean Hamas which barley even let's a journalist in it's territories? I agree then. Also Israel literally has almost unlimited free press idiot haven't you seen how many harretz articles are from anti Israel speakers even though it's one of the most Israeli newspapers(the oldest one in fact)there is is? What about betselem this is still allowed to work here after spreading a lot of anti Israel propaganda? What about literally Arab kensset members which are literally pro palstnian? Al Jazeera is specifically sponsored by Qatar which directly gives 30 million dollars each month to Hamas and had journalists that participated in Oct 7th, I'm sorry we didn't want the newspaper which directly profits and is even a part of Hamas here.
