Al Jazeera is propaganda
lol Interesting claim from someone doing their own selective editing. Your second link is dead so I couldn’t follow it but the third link… why did you cut it right before
At the same time, Qatar has long been a key U.S. partner in the Middle East.
Thanks for the headsup on the dead link. I’ve replaced it with an archived link.
Obviously I’m not going to argue the US isn’t hypocritical in its dealings with Qatar. You can also look forward to Europe doing exactly nothing, because they rely on Qatari gas.
But if you think it’s damning that Qatar has close ties to the US, you should probably read this:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2014/07/30/how-israel-helped-create-hamas
That’s the thing with people who spread pro-Islamist coverage, including stuff from al-Jazeera.
For years Hamas was supported by key players in Israel. A strong Hamas helped to sow division in the Palestinian cause, undermining the two state solution. People who support Hamas, and/or push pro-Islamist media, are arguably helping support the continued oppression of the Palestinian people.
Netenyahu and the Jewish supremacists in his government, certainly weren’t too dissapointed by this recent Hamas attack. They have their excuse now. Thanks to Hamas and media like Al-Jazeera who support them.
You think it’s damning that Qatar has close ties to the US?
No, the opposite.
… I had to go back because I didn’t understand your response in context. I reread your original comment and I think I misunderstood you.
Not really sure where to go from here. I don’t think Al Jazeera is nearly as bad as RT. Is AJ propaganda? Yeah, in the same way WSJ is. Everybody has a bias but I’ve never seen AJ bend the truth like Fox or NY Post.
Quatar is a key partner because they have a position that allows for negotiations and are not as fundamentally extremist as many other countries in the region
Hamas leaders are living in quatar though without Quatar having any problem with that - they are basically Switzerland in the middle east.
And Al-Jazeera reported stuff directly from official sources from Palestine which happened to be exaggerated Hamas propaganda all the time - I’d say it’s a bit less one-sided than RT since they usually include other views as well but it’s still extremely biased reporting for issues regarding the conflict
