    Al Jazeera journalists have provided some of the most detailed and evidence-backed reporting of the conflict and their journalists on the ground are absolutely incredible.

      Yeah, this is not a good look for Israel.

      I wouldn’t go so far as to say that. Their reporting is high quality for a lot of other countries.

      For Israel… Can’t say that. Then again, Israel is actively hostile to Al Jazeera, so I get it.

    “We’re a democracy”

    “So that means you’ll stand up for the universal rights of mankind, right?”

    “You’ll stand up for people’s rights, right?”

    I was watching Al Jazeera to see what they had to say and they called the Hamas terror attack “the Hamas military operation”. I have no sympathies for them to say it kindly. Actually the can fuck right off. Deliberately butchering civilians, many among them children is not a military operation. It’s a terror attack.

        It’s okay for richer/whiter people to terrorize poorer/browner ones.

        There would only be a problem if that wasn’t the case.

          I love the dissenters who aren’t able to articulate an answer so just sulkily downvote is and slink off, breathing salt all the way
