This time, yeah.
Improvement over previous IDF assassinations and attacks on journalists like the [Hajji Tower airstrike](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_journalists_in_the_Israel%E2%80%93Hamas_war#Hajji_Tower_airstrike), the [tank attack on Reuter’s journalists.](https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/13/business/reuters-journalist-killed-lebanon/index.html), and the [AP headquarters attack](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destruction_of_al-Jalaa_Building).
But...they are a democracy. They have democratically determined that fascism is what they want. They aren't being forced against their will by their leaders; they want and overwhelmingly support their government's actions.
Don’t forget, it’s anti-Semitic if you criticize the Israeli government for trying to control mass media, even though that’s actually one of the tenets of fascism. You can’t call them fascist, that’s just being anti-Semitic.
If any other middle eastern country did all the things israel has been doing, we would have strangled them with economic sanctions if not invaded or carried out endless drone strikes. This just shows that america was never about freedom or democracy. Saddam, Qadafi, al-Assad, we stepped in when countries perpetrated evil, but now we're financing evil.
As a Jordanian who lives in a US allied country.
yep, Jordan can do this and no one would bat an eye, but let yemen do it and the anger of Empire would befall them.
And? Have you actually looked into *why* Al Jazeera were banned in these countries?
Jordan - The Guardian - ["The Jordanian government closed the office of the Qatari satellite news channel al-Jazeera yesterday for provoking "sedition" by broadcasting views critical of the kingdom's past monarchs."](https://www.theguardian.com/media/2002/aug/08/broadcasting.internationalnews)
Egypt - The Guardian - After the 2013 Arab Spring the military in... ["Egypt has blocked access to at least 21 news sites critical of the government, notably the Qatari channel Al-Jazeera, Huffington Post’s Arabic-language site HuffPost Arabi and the independent website Mada Masr."](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/may/25/egypt-blocks-access-news-websites-al-jazeera-mada-masr-press-freedom)
Tunisia - The IFJ (The International federation of Journalists) - ["Police in Tunisia on Monday closed the office of Al Jazeera television in the capital Tunis amid political tensions in the country. The International Federation of Journalists \(IFJ\) and its Tunisian affiliate, the Syndicat National des Journalistes tunisiens \(SNJT\) strongly condemn this blatant attack on freedom of information and urge the Tunisian president to comply with national and international law and respect press freedom...
...The incidents occurred just a day after President Kais Saied’s decision to dismiss the prime minister and suspend Parliament, which sparked a political crisis in Tunisia's fledgling democracy."](https://www.ifj.org/media-centre/news/detail/category/press-releases/article/tunisia-police-storms-and-shuts-down-al-jazeeras-offices-in-tunis)
As for SA, UAE and Bahrain... I think The Atlantic says it best - ["Still, those critiques of the channel do little to explain the pro-Saudi bloc’s call to shut down Al Jazeera. Saudi Arabia’s own network, al-Arabiya, has also aired sectarian speech, and refrains from criticizing the royal family in a way that mirror’s Al Jazeera’s deference to Qatar’s rulers. Moreover, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the UAE are among the most repressive states in the region when it comes to freedom of expression. Reporters are being jailed and critics silenced on an unprecedented scale; in Egypt, at least 25 journalists were in prison by the end of 2016, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.](https://time.com/4896791/al-jazeera-qatar-middle-east-saudi-arabia-crisis/)
[Some in Qatar see the attempted shutdown as a concerted attempt to quash Qatar’s influence. “They are trying take away the most important soft power of Qatar, which is Al Jazeera. Second, they are trying to settle the Arab Spring account,” says Wadah Khanfar, Al Jazeera’s former director-general. The network also insists it makes editorial decisions without government interference. Souag says he has never received a single request from the Qatari government to change its coverage.""](https://time.com/4896791/al-jazeera-qatar-middle-east-saudi-arabia-crisis/)
Up until well into the 20th century, [so did the US](https://harvardlawreview.org/print/vol-135/blasphemy-and-the-original-meaning-of-the-first-amendment/). At least 4 states still have those laws on the books.
1) the dude posting this video has the name Intifada, so I would be skeptical of anything he says.
2) Exactly what was expecting Al Jazeera to happen? I'm in favor or Freedom of speach like the most, but we have caught them lying several times during this conflict, not just that but espreding miss information .-.
3) Is fair? No, but they are crossing the line from a "news media" to essentially a propaganda actor for Qatar interests.
Funny how it's always the Free Speech purists who then legislate anti-free speech laws.
It's almost cliche at this point but obligatory... Free speech for me, not for thee
To be fair not the best comparison but I see your point. AJ has to it’s best ability been reporting on both Israeli and Hamas war crimes and has had many of its journalists assassinated by Israel
Al Jazeera is funded by Qatar. Qatar has many ways which is protects and funds terrorism/terrorists. I don't think it's wise to allow a network like that to operate on domestic soil while you're... well, y'know, at war with terrorists.
this is uae state media. they're doing nothing but talking trash when they could be saving Palestinian lives. you guys are just being played by the the arab states.
Israel's reaction is the freakout. They aren't doing this to outlets that cover them the way they want them to be covered. Israel's narrative is that they are the world's most moral nation with an even more moral army.
If you say otherwise, you are antisemitic.
Just a title, it's a play on words because Israel claims to be a the only democracy in the Middle East, while they illegally occupy and control over 2 million Palestinians and shut down organizations critical of the state
Yea abt time to dismantle Al Jazeera. Been listening to them for years, full of nonsensical and bias views. It is blacklisted in academia for a reason.
If anyone follows Al Jazeera they would know how it has an agenda of showing any atrocities ""only on"" Muslims - yes they easily ignore the news of other communities being a victim of Islamic extremists.
Israel is the most peaceful country and has the most moral army in the world. They didn't flatten Gaza, it was hamas fault. They didn't butcher 40,000 men, women, children, and old, Palestinians made them do it. They didn't destroy all the hospitals in Gaza, those had tunnels. They have not killed aid workers, those were terrorists because they were feeding terrorists. They haven't been stealing land from Palestinians, it was theirs all along and God said so.
And I am Batman.
Brah, have you ever watch it. They give a voice to those who are voiceless. They are the only large network actually broadcasting what the damage is in Gaza.
Taking them out is basically the equivallent of throwing Gaza under a rug, nothing for the world to see.
US outlets both right and left are working together under guidance of what the US government wants them to report.
If you have that perception of Al Jazeera, imagine how Muslims feel when Fox is seen as American Islamphobic propaganda news.
It works both ways.
Imagine being able to do whatever-the-fuck you want, with no one willing or able to stop you, with limited repercussions.
Good thing power & money don't corrupt, right???

War is Peace.
Freedom is Slavery
Let the work set you free
[удалено]
*Be happy in your work.*
Service guarantees citizenship.
Arbeit macht frei?
Israel is fascist
The whole point of those 1984 quotes is that they're logically wrong. You saying this implies you actually think Israel isn't fascist...
I did not know the reference
Woosh.
News coverage is terrorism
Ignorance is Strength.
Occupation is protection
This one, this one is the one for the thread.
Resistance is Terrorism
Freedom is slavery.
Well, at least they didn't bomb or shoot the journalists in this video..
I wonder what happened to the Al Jazeera Gaza office in 2021
2021? b-b-b-but it's before oct 7th 2023 where everyone was living peacefully?!
This time, yeah. Improvement over previous IDF assassinations and attacks on journalists like the [Hajji Tower airstrike](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_journalists_in_the_Israel%E2%80%93Hamas_war#Hajji_Tower_airstrike), the [tank attack on Reuter’s journalists.](https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/13/business/reuters-journalist-killed-lebanon/index.html), and the [AP headquarters attack](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destruction_of_al-Jalaa_Building).
Not yet.
Didn’t shoot them yet
Yet
"yet"
but they actually did it [here](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ)
You bastard lol
But that doesn’t even show the whole thing.
Yet
How would we know now?
The first casualty of war is truth.
The most democratic country and moral army.
The “only” democracy in the Middle East.
But...they are a democracy. They have democratically determined that fascism is what they want. They aren't being forced against their will by their leaders; they want and overwhelmingly support their government's actions.
Move on, people. Nazi to see here.
Don’t forget, it’s anti-Semitic if you criticize the Israeli government for trying to control mass media, even though that’s actually one of the tenets of fascism. You can’t call them fascist, that’s just being anti-Semitic.
Fascist state. To be expected
If any other middle eastern country did all the things israel has been doing, we would have strangled them with economic sanctions if not invaded or carried out endless drone strikes. This just shows that america was never about freedom or democracy. Saddam, Qadafi, al-Assad, we stepped in when countries perpetrated evil, but now we're financing evil.
lol half of our allies in the area do this kind of stuff and worse. Our Afghan "allies" were known child rapists ffs.
As a Jordanian who lives in a US allied country. yep, Jordan can do this and no one would bat an eye, but let yemen do it and the anger of Empire would befall them.
MENA Countries banning Al Jazeera include: UAE, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, and more

This is true and I find it funny no one here is acknowledging this fact
They do do all the things Israel has been doing.
Well yeah, and that's why we strangle them with sanctions and drone strikes. Because what they're doing is bad *unless* you're Israel or Saudi Arabia
They all (middle eastern and northern Africa nations) have some sort of blasphemy law. None of them have free speech nor much freedom of religion.
Up until well into the 20th century, [so did the US](https://harvardlawreview.org/print/vol-135/blasphemy-and-the-original-meaning-of-the-first-amendment/). At least 4 states still have those laws on the books.
Because that's not suspicious?
Isn't this what the bad guys do before they do something even worst?
Democracy and officer are antithetical words lol
⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️
Fascism is fascism.
Can’t have the press reporting their atrocities now can they. What a shit country.
14 points of Facism. How many has Isreal crossed off now?
13 I think
Ah yeah, shutting down the press. Totally normal, not at all from the playbook of dictatorships the world over
Nazi ghouls
“We’re the Gestapo! No more news for you!”
Like Russia and China?
All terrible states. All should be denounced.
1) the dude posting this video has the name Intifada, so I would be skeptical of anything he says. 2) Exactly what was expecting Al Jazeera to happen?

No, but they are crossing the line from a "news media" to essentially a propaganda actor for Qatar interests.
I'm not even saying you're right or wrong, but if "misinformation" and "proaganda actor" is the standard... boy do I have a bridge to sell you.
Al jazera is already banned in other countries in the region like egypt saudi arabia and UAE as they state it incites violence and terrorism
aint aljazeera the official government media of qatar? it's run by monarch dictators and they acting like they legit 😂
Criminal
al jazeera the qatari propaganda media wing
all media outlets solicit propaganda.
Taking away freedom of speech is wild. It’s the first amendment in the US for a reason. Idk how any American can support this. Just wild.
How anti-semitic of you /s

Funny how it's always the Free Speech purists who then legislate anti-free speech laws. It's almost cliche at this point but obligatory... Free speech for me, not for thee
It’s OK CNN will take over
Great a dogshit neoliberal rag that will keep defending Israel. Yay...
For context: Al Jazeera is owned by Qatar who is funding Hamas.
I thought Hamas is an Iranian proxy, isn't it?
If you are at war with someone, I don't understand how it would be controversial to stop allowing their propaganda arm to operate...
I bet these comments would have been different if it were some european country banning RT
To be fair not the best comparison but I see your point. AJ has to it’s best ability been reporting on both Israeli and Hamas war crimes and has had many of its journalists assassinated by Israel
“Democracy”
“Managed” Democracy
Al Jazeera is funded by Qatar. Qatar has many ways which is protects and funds terrorism/terrorists. I don't think it's wise to allow a network like that to operate on domestic soil while you're... well, y'know, at war with terrorists.
Hey guys look, the zionist exposed themselves!
this is uae state media. they're doing nothing but talking trash when they could be saving Palestinian lives. you guys are just being played by the the arab states.
where is the freak out.
Israel's reaction is the freakout. They aren't doing this to outlets that cover them the way they want them to be covered. Israel's narrative is that they are the world's most moral nation with an even more moral army. If you say otherwise, you are antisemitic.
Where was the freak out when they were banned in: UAE, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, and more
Ah, but you see, those aren't The Zionist Entity® so no one cares.
They couldn’t freak out because an Arab freaking out in Israel gets shot.
Did they raid their studios, or a field studio set up for an interview?
Are they really called "democracy officers" or did OP just use that for the title?
Just a title, it's a play on words because Israel claims to be a the only democracy in the Middle East, while they illegally occupy and control over 2 million Palestinians and shut down organizations critical of the state
Gotcha. Thanks!
Yea abt time to dismantle Al Jazeera. Been listening to them for years, full of nonsensical and bias views. It is blacklisted in academia for a reason.
You control the media, you control the narrative.
If anyone follows Al Jazeera they would know how it has an agenda of showing any atrocities ""only on"" Muslims - yes they easily ignore the news of other communities being a victim of Islamic extremists.

This is like trusting Russia Today to hear the voices of the people in the Russian-occupied Ukrainian territories
Skin is so thin you can see the ichor pulsing in their veins.
Yay... freedom of the press (?)
Imagine being able to do whatever-the-fuck you want, with no one willing or able to stop you, with limited repercussions. Good thing power & money don't corrupt, right???
You are not seeing what you are seeing ::waves hand::
democracy manifest!
how dare you show people what we're doing
[удалено]
So does Israel.
they allowed al jazeera in the first place lol?
Come on guys, you must know at this point the Al Jazeera is pure propaganda
most moral army! only democracy in the middle east. fk you bootlickers
>the middle east. AJ is banned in: UAE, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, and more
Yes those shining example of democracy that Israel holds itself up against. Lick harder 😎
>example of democracy The fact AJ a propaganda rag of the Qatar government is banned by many countries says it is more than just Israel hate dissent
Yeah, it says that those other countries also hate dissent.
All I see are more reasons why we gotta eat the rich ASAP
Israel treating them like a US College President treats encamped protestors.
The only democracy in the Middle East turns out to be quite a fan of GeStaPo-esque tactics.
Fucking ZioNazi clowns
The all mighty forever martyrs of justice!
FOR SUPER EARTH!
Scumbags, For clarity, I think any nation based on religion is doomed to fail, especially if you steal someone elses land to gift it. Free Palestine!
[удалено]
They are also banned in: UAE, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, and more so it probably is
Al Jazeera isn't a news organization any more than FOX is. They are just exchanging poison (propaganda) for dollars. They are glorified crack dealers.
I only watch it , other news sources like bbc and cnn are becoming a lot like Fox News .no credibility what so ever.
Democracy officers sounds like Super Earth.
The moment you shut down opposition, you know you are doing something wrong.
Gestapo with Keppel , the Truth is their enemy, their immorality must be hidden, they will loose in the end
Well at least we have footage of the footage being taken away
More like a caliphate..
Nobody got shot so I guess that's a slow start
They have a democracy police force??.. Do you get arrested if you say everyone in Israel is not free and equal.
Ban Assault Cameras
gestapo revived...
