Are you kidding me? That is a shame, Al Jazeera has always been known as a voice of dissidence, but also of reason and transparent reporting.

Al Jazeera has lost all credibility over their reporting the last couple of weeks. They actually express support for Hamas after the music fest massacre, and lately they were quick to publish falsehoods (proven as such by their own videos!) about the hospital tragedy. I used to follow them, hoping for unbiased view. No more, won’t be missed.

This is what theyve built up their credibility for. Now they’re showing their true colors as Qatari shills.

Al Jazeera aren't Qatari shills, Al Jazeera are Qatari. Al Jazeera was founded by Sheikh Hamad ibn Khalifa Al Thani, emir of Qatar, in 1996 and is wholly owned by the State of Qatar. Qatar funds Hamas and Hezbollah to kill Jews, and all the news from Al Jazeera is meant to convince the world that Jews have no place in the Middle East, and no claim to Israel. It was the singluar reason the Emir of Qatar founded Al Jazeera in the first place. It's a single purpose propaganda organization.

yes yes of course israel has to be kind to it's enemies in qatar who sow nothing but lie and incite violence against jews in israel and everywhere else, of course, naturally, israel should be kind and extend every courtesy to the enemy within who's owners funded the hamas animals who raped jews, and slaughtered jews, and raped jews over the slaughtered bodies of those jews they had just raped and slaughtered. the "press freedom group" can go fuck itself, and when it gets finished fucking itself, it can go fuck itself again

Fair media reporting should never ever be attacked or banned. Targeting media and trying to silence their voice is one of the steps towards fascism, and that is exactly what israel has done and is still doing.

This is the second post of yours I’ve had to remove tonight due to inflammatory language. 3 day ban.

I guess banning them is easier than shooting Al Jazeera journalists in the face.

Way less fun for the IDF militants unfortunately.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Proposed earlier this week by Israeli communications minister Shlomo Karhi, the regulations would allow officials to “halt media broadcasts and confiscate broadcast equipment if an outlet’s output is seen to harm national security, public order, or serve as a basis for ‘enemy propaganda,’” according to the Times of Israel.

“We are deeply concerned by Israeli officials’ threats to censor media coverage of the ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict, using vague accusations of harming national morale,” Sherif Mansour, CPJ’s Middle East and North Africa program coordinator, said in a statement.

“Israel’s pattern has been that, in times of war, there’s military censorship,” Jon Alterman, senior vice president at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, told The Washington Post.

In 2008 Israel accused Al Jazeera of being a “tool of Hamas,” the Palestinian militant group that controls the Gaza Strip, and launched a boycott of the station.

At the time, the executive secretary of Israel’s Foreign Press Association, Glenys Sugarman, told Reuters that “changing the law in order to shut down a media organization for political reasons is a slippery slope.”

“[But] during the intifadas, during wartime, there’s a persistent sense that Al Jazeera, as a station, is rooting for Israel’s enemies,” Alterman said.
