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.
"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?"
Free speech in the OnLy DeMoCrAcY In ThE MidDlE EaSt.
Israel showing more and more that they are exactly like Western "democracy" by silencing dissenters
- Israel is like watching live A/B testing for the DNC
- Except Al Jazeera isn't silenced in other western democracies. The only places I've found that it's been banned in are Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Bahrain, and Jordan.
  
  Can you cite source for that?
  Not sure about the rest but I know for a fact that it's not banned in Jordan. It was previously suspended temporarily but never banned, i checked to insure im not talking out my ass and the only thing i could find was BFUJ mentioning it being banned in jordan but i couldnt find any actual sources for that claim, its rather odd honestly. (I live there and aljazeera can be freely accessed)
Al Jazeera English? One of the most respected publications in the west Al Jazeera?
Israel sure is a beacon of democracy and freedom as it claims to be.
They keep contradicting the narrative so they gotta go.
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.
- And Israel doing the same thing in response is different because....
- The BBC also doesn't call them terrorists:
