Al Jazeera:

... Officials of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party ... accused Al-Jazeera of bias toward Hamas (with which it is at political loggerheads), and Fatah official Mohammed Dahlan sued the broadcaster. ... On 15 July of that year [2009], the Palestinian National Authority (PA) closed down Al Jazeera's offices in the West Bank in an apparent response to claims made on the channel by Farouk Kaddoumi that PA president Mahmoud Abbas had been involved in the death of Yasser Arafat. The Palestinian Information Ministry called the organization's coverage "unbalanced" and accused it of incitement against the PLO and the PA. Four days later, Abbas rescinded the ban and allowed Al Jazeera to resume operations ... Al Jazeera reporters and anchors in London, Paris, Moscow, Beirut and Cairo have resigned. Ali Hashem, the organization's Shia Beirut correspondent, resigned after leaked emails publicized his discontent with Al Jazeera's "unprofessional" and biased coverage of the Syrian civil war at the expense of the 2011 Bahraini uprising. Since the Bahrain government was supported by the Gulf Cooperation Council (of which Qatar is a member), the protests were given less prominence than the Syrian conflict on the network. Longtime Berlin correspondent Aktham Suliman left in late 2012, saying that he felt he was no longer allowed to work as an independent journalist ... Al Jazeera faced criticism from Bangladeshi human rights activists ...accused of downplaying the 1971 Bangladesh genocide, in which Islamist militias assisted the Pakistan Army in targeting Bengalis ... demanded a ban on Al Jazeera transmission within Bangladesh citing similar bans in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan and the UAE.

... Critics say in past years, Al-Jazeera — particularly its flagship Arabic channel — has reflected Qatari policy by promoting Islamist movements. Many of the region’s Arab rulers, particularly in Egypt and the UAE, see the Muslim Brotherhood group and its offshoots as a top threat. ... Al-Jazeera’s English and Arabic channels, as well as its news websites and its popular online AJ+ videos, do not mirror one another in style and target different audiences.

And:

Qatar’s dalliance with Islamist groups has long been the primary means for Doha to project influence in the Arab world, particularly through state support for Al Jazeera Arabic. After 2011, Qatar came to believe, and Al Jazeera Arabic confidently predicted, that a wave of Islamist governance would sweep in with new Arab democracies. Instead, the elected Brotherhood government in Egypt proved even more unpopular than the Hosni Mubarak dictatorship ... With the Brotherhood’s decline in prestige and power, Qatar’s bet has yielded precious few returns. And now Hamas’s disastrous rebranding in Western eyes could well force a reckoning with Doha’s irresponsible strategy.

According to Israel, every Palestinian is subhuman and needs to be eradicated.

In that light, I guess this bombing is a success?

Kingofthezyx ,

It’s ironic, at times like this you’d pray

But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday

This is completely all the way messed up. Even if weapons were hidden there.

Iraq had WMDs too!

We’re gonna get proof of those beheaded babies any day now, just as soon as we get proof of the babies being dumped out of incubators in Iraq.

Well, if you mention the incubators…

Maeve ,

It’s very sad, USA has destabilized the whole world, almost. PNAC got their wish. The rights were right about that conspiracy theory and the Kochs were the architects, iirc.

SheeEttin ,

If there were actually weapons hidden there, it’s a valid target.

Still, blowing up hospitals, religious buildings, and schools is generally a bad idea. Even the US thinks twice about it (before hitting it with a drone strike).

Maeve ,

Again, we disagree. A rave isn’t a valid venue but a mosque is is just wild. No.

Doorbook ,

Instead of clearing the mousqe? I remember a few years back something similar happened in Yemen, and the international response was: fuck the saudi, stop buying oil, and why we are sending militry equipment to them.

Double standards is amazing…

capital ,

Israeli’s military said the strike on the Al-Ansar mosque, located in Jenin refugee camp, killed a number of “terror operatives” from Hamas and Islamic Jihad who had been using the building as a command centre to plan attacks.

IF that is true, it may have been a valid target.

fubo ,

It’s not like PIJ has designated military bases set well aside from the civilian populace.

porcupine ,

That’s because Palestine has no military: the entire population lives in a cage. You’re witnessing the extermination of a captive population in real time.

NewDark ,

Not to be too pedantic, but Gaza lives in a prison. The west bank is more of an apartheid.

If it isn’t true you’ll never hear about it lol

Melkath ,

The first thing the invading Israli forces hits is a mosque.

That is all that needs to be said.

Hyperreality ,

This is the first thing Israel's bombed?

That's good to know.

nogooduser ,

I don’t think that they’ve bombed the West Bank before. Just had mobs nip in and kill people and steal land.

Melkath ,

No friend.

Israel has launched many bombs.

This is just the first bombing notice since I was told they have clearance for boots in Palestine.

Israel has litle clue about operations of Hamas and was thus completely surprised by the attacks.

Israel is well informed about Hamas operations and thus is able to precisely target their hideouts.

Pick one as they can't obviously be true at the same time...
