This puts the Israeli fascists one step closer to the Nazi government in from 1933-1945 in Germany

There was a Hamas base in the green room.
SrTobi@feddit.de 6 months ago
I mean did they even condemn Hamas?
dfi@lemmy.nz 6 months ago
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.

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.

“I’ll go against the grain”. Proceeds to maintain the status quo and bootlick for fascists.
Fizz@lemmy.nz 6 months ago
Obviously ‘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.
Fizz@lemmy.nz 6 months ago
I 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”.

But they won’t be able to do any local reporting anymore, at least not easily.
xor@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 months ago
I thought their website was (will be?) blocked in Israel too?
ytg@sopuli.xyz 6 months ago
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. Just that their chosen course of operation is ineffective. At worst it’s an inconvenience.

This shit is just insane.
BrikoX@lemmy.zip 6 months ago
If they weren’t committing a genocide, then I would agree that THIS is insane, but this is just casual Sunday for current Israel’s government.
