    Nothing says, “we’ve done nothing wrong,” quite like banning journalists who disagree with you.

      In the article, it also says that at some point not too long ago, Israel killed one of their journalists.

        Shireen Abu Akleh. There’s a video showing what happened leading up to her death.

      They’re the propaganda arm of Doha, the same government that protects Hamas leadership. They’ve repeatedly printed Hamas lies without fact checking. Why would Israel not ban their propaganda outlet? Calling them journalists when they don’t adhere to basic journalistic standards is ludicrous. This isn’t new either. They’ve been acting this way forever. Lying about the hospital bombing was just the last straw.

        Lies like the 40 beheaded babies that the entire western media spread?

        Israel literally kills journalists.

          If whatabautism about the other side propaganda is your best response to defend their journalistic integrity I don’t think you have an argument

            Israel didn’t just ban Al Jazeera, they also killed their reporter, Shireen Abu Akleh.

            Have you condemned them for killing her?

            Israel is out there killing reporters (which is a war crime), and you guys here are talking about biased media?

          There it is. Calling anyone who doesn’t support Israeli genocide an anti-semite. Fuck off with your bullshit.

          as someone that’s relatively neutral and uninformed on the subject, where would one go look for evidence to suggest that al bagheera are a bunch of panthers waiting to eat your face off?

          Seems like some people will never understand it’s not about Jewish people, it’s about an illegal occupation.

          If Israel’s religion was Christianity, Hinduism, whatever religion, or even if they were atheists, Palestinian people still would have defended their land.
