Critics of the network throughout the region say it amplifies the voices of militant groups in the Middle East.
Oh, who are these wide array of critics of Al Jazeera in the Middle East?
[Al Jazeera] has also come under criticism from Israeli officials and the Palestinian Authority, which administers part of the West Bank. Both governments accusing Al Jazeera of supporting Hamas.
What a surprise, it’s Israel and their controlled opposition.
Trouble between the broadcaster and Israel began before the war in Gaza. In 2022, relations eroded after one of the network’s reporters, the Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, was killed in the occupied West Bank. A New York Times investigation found that the bullet that killed her had been fired from the approximate location of an Israeli military convoy.
Absolute chickenshit paragraph. If the writer and editor who allowed that to come into print had any shame, they would quit and go live off the grid somewhere for the rest of their lives, shunning all outside human contact.
Among other difficulties for the network, in 2017, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain all banned Al Jazeera amid a diplomatic spat with Qatar. Along with Egypt, the countries had accused Al Jazeera of backing terror groups.
idk, seems like a really upstanding group of countries are objecting to these “Al Jazeera” guys, who none of us had ever heard of until today, so I can only assume that they’re a terror organization.
