11 0 ReplyI mean did they even condemn Hamas?
10 0 ReplyThey 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.

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.

41 0 ReplyObviously 'against the grain' is talking about lemmy general opinion. Yes it's status quo to remove opposing news agencies during a war.

Tf is wrong with you? Do you even read Al Jazeera? It has been like the most trustworthy organization covering this genocide.
They're not censoring it for lying, but for telling the truth.
25 0 ReplyI do read articles from them posted here often. I find them to be extremely bias and quick to report events that have little evidence.
I don't know how you can look at this situation and come away with the opinion that they are being banned for "telling the truth".
