They reported on Hamas Attacks in a fairly standard news style when they attacked. Israel has killed at least 25x more civilians then Hamas i would expect slightly different reporting based on that at this stage. aljazeera.com/…/what-happened-in-israel-a-breakdo…
Did any news organization personally condemn the attack? Because their job is to report the news, and they did that. And journalists have more to fear from Israel than Hamas if we are going by numbers. See
I’ll go against the grain and say it’s fine for Isreal to remove al Jazeera because they are in an ongoing war. It’s common to remove certain “news” outlets during war and al Jazeera’s coverage of this conflict makes fox news look like a bastion of truth.
Isreal still has access to plenty of new outlets that report negatively on the conflict and scrutinize the government.
Saying “Isreal is locking down anyone that dares speak out against them” shows a complete lack of understanding over the issue. Of course you think it’s wrong if that’s what you think is happening.
They only took down the TV channel. I don’t know what usage statistics are like, but I suspect the website was already quite used.
To clarify my previous comment, this doesn’t mean that the Israeli government’s actions aren’t fascistic in nature, or concerning for the future. Just that their chosen course of operation in this specific case is ineffective. At worst it’s an inconvenience.
