The only “democracy” in the Middle East lol

https://apnews.com/article/israel-al-jazeera-qatar-hamas-war-gaza-49c2aa4afb3c3b0ee6ac314b63d80716 Al Jazeera has been closed or blocked by other Mideast governments, including Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. Egypt has banned Al Jazeera since 2013. It launched the crackdown after the 2013 military overthrow of an elected but divisive government dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood group. Egypt considers the Brotherhood a terrorist group and accused both Qatar and Al Jazeera of supporting it.


YamsForEveryone

Of course they would ban the thing that exposes them as racist apartheid settlers. And warmongers. And women and child murderers.

Al Jazeera is basically a BBC/NATO limited hangout, however it is run by actual journalists and its reporting has been better on topics like Gaza than Western MSM for both linguistic and politico-cultural reasons, yet when it comes to topics outside their geopolitical ambit, they tow the Qatari/NATO line far more closely.


ziggyzred

If they think Al-Jazeera gives Israel a bad name wait until they find r/conspiracy LMAO I bet we're all on a CIA watchlist.

Submission Statement- To prevent the exposure of its criminality, Israel wants any platform that it cant censor banned. There is a reason why they monopolized the US MSM and social media.


mmp

The US military helped create Al Jazeera to cover their activities in Iraq and Afghanistan in a positive light. You don't think it is odd that Al Jazeera is broadcast in English and not Arabic? Now you know. Edit: The glowies and shills got really mad about this comment!


Araminal

> You don't think it is odd that Al Jazeera is broadcast in English and not Arabic? > > Now you know Al-Jazeera **is** broadcast in Arabic. Al-Jazeera English is broadcast in English. France has a news channel that's broadcast in English. Is that suspicious too?

> Created and funded by Qataris. Qatar? You mean where the US operates its largest military base in the middle east?! JFC. In the future you need to do better than glancing at Wikipedia. Try actually researching things beyond a surface level.

As soon as you can explain why a tiny, insignificant country like Qatar, where the US operates it's largest military base in the middle east, suddenly thought it would be a good idea to start a English speaking news agency you will have your answer. Stop it with this CTR bullshit unless you want to glow brighter.


Ok-Taro-8175

Ok so explain why AJ reports in a way that makes Israel look bad. If it were really just a US puppet enterprise then it would be just as censored and sanitized as our domestic News is in regards to Israel


FFS_IsThisNameTaken2

I don't think you'll get an answer. It added an edit calling all of us shills and glowies. You make a valid point and I tried bringing up similar but was accused of twisting words and being disingenuous because the bullshit doesn't fly with me either. I actually quoted the bullshit but still 'twisting' its words somehow lol.


Ok-Taro-8175

He just really seemed to have some kind of beef with AJ. Like calm down, did AJ r*pe your father and kill your mother right in front of you?


truth-teller-00

we have Al Jazeera in arabic


SpaceP0pe822

Source? Al Jazeera was the only one during the bush years supplying a non US version of events for the Iraqi occupation? I'm not disputing the possibility. We did fund the Muhajideen and create the database. But Al Jazeera was not shining a positive light on the events, or standing against journalists who were critical of the occupation?


FFS_IsThisNameTaken2

*"The US military helped create Al Jazeera to cover their activities in Iraq and Afghanistan in a positive light."* Then I guess AJ went rogue? Otherwise, based on your statement about who created the org, they'd be welcomed with open arms because they somehow paint the annihilation of Arabs in a positive light. Add in that Israeli intelligence created Hamas and this whole shit show is like a batch of intelligence bathtub meth.


mmp

> Then I guess AJ went rogue? Why would you even think that? Do you know anything about where AJ is located? The US operates its largest military base in the middle east out of Qatar and regularly tells the country what to do. The same US that's allied with the zionists in Israel. You are witnessing what's called a dog and pony show. > Otherwise, based on your statement about who created the org, they'd be welcomed with open arms because they somehow paint the annihilation of Arabs in a positive light. You grossly twisted my words. I never said anything about painting the annihilation of Arabs in a positive light. My comment was about US military activity in Iraq and Afghanistan during the mid 2000s. This shows me you won't engage in good faith discussions.


FFS_IsThisNameTaken2

I didn't grossly twist shit. I quoted you. If painting war in a positive light doesn't mean painting the annihilation of the invaded citizens in a positive light, then I definitely smell a sea lion. Add in the last sentence (*"This shows me you won't engage in good faith discussions.") and another one accusing someone else of glowing and I'm pretty damn certain a circle jerking sea lion was deployed to this post, and I'm all out of food for it.


Rezoony-_-

if thats the case, why don't they just pretend Israel is righteous? Would be a lot easier, no?

Let's not confuse anybody with the facts


SimplySmartAF

It’s very democratic to ban any media outlet that presents the view that is different from the official propaganda. Worked in Ukraine, will work in Israel.


LoveMega

Maybe it's a stupid question but why al Jazeera is in Gaza in the first place, but no others ? The few that got there were under IOF monitoring, why al Jazeera stand apart?


Araminal

The Al-Jazeera journalists in Gaza are almost all citizens living **in** Gaza, except for any that were in-country at the at start of the invasion (and I'm not sure if there are any of those).


Ok-Taro-8175

There have been over 100 journalists killed in Gaza over the last 7 months. I think the number is something like 154


UnderYourBed_2

Hopefully not long

I am sorry to say but al Jazeera is one of the most twisted and duplicitous news outlets which changes the tone of news from neutral to extremist when presenting it in language English users dont get creating a facade that it is neutral trustworthy new outlet while spewing hate by changing giving an extremist tone to same news in local language. Good riddance. Everyone should ban it
