"Israel bans Al Jazeera .....long overdue!
Are you aware that Al Jazeera is fully-owned and -controlled by Qatar?
Are you aware that Qatar is the main financial supporter of Hamas?
Are you aware that the Hamas senior leaders live in secure luxury in Qatar?
Are you aware that many of Gaza's Hamas operatives were trained at the Qatari Police Academy pre-7/10?
Well, now that you do know all that, why would you expect Israel to allow the enemy to broadcast mainly anti-Israel/anti-Zionism/anti-Netanyahu propaganda from within Israel?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh geez....here we go again....
Aren't you tired of peddling this nonsense?
Re your 1st point:
So?
What's wrong with that? Someone has to pay the bills.
Who pays Israel bills so that Israelis have a free medical care, unlike Americans?
The US pays Israel's bills. Many would say that the US is the biggest terrorist in the world.
A few years back Qatar wouldn't allow AJ to go forward and release their doco on AIPAC because it was too revealing and in-your-face.
I think it was EI (electronic intifada) that did put this 3 or 4-part doco on their website. So, it's not like Qatar allow AJ publish whatever they want.
Re (2)
You got it wrong (yet again, judging by what you write in your other posts).
Qataris have acted, on many occasions as go-between / middleman, having been asked by the Israelis to deliver suicases full of USD to Hamas.
So, funnily enough, it was ISRAEL who's been providing funds in their millions and propping up Hamas that they are now fighting against....
Re (3)
Hamas leaders have to live abroad in order to survive and remain in charge of Hamas. Simple. That's a standard practise around the world.
There are all sorts of stories floating around about how wealthy they are - their assets go, apparently, into the billions of USD.
I don't know if anybody has every verified this to be true.
I do know that there is corruption among authorities in the West Bank and among Hamas.
BUT, why aren't you mentioning these two facts:
-- it is Israel's policy to corrupt Palestine's 'ruling elite' and keep them corrupt. Exactly the same was the case in other apartheid states by their respective colonial rulers
-- on o the Hamas's leaders - Ismail Haniyeh - who is supposed to be worth 4-5 billion USD according to sources that you probably read and believe,
lost 3 (three) of his sons in one single assassination attack by the Israelis in Gaza a few weeks back.
Now, if he is really worth billions and so corrupt, how come he let his family languish in Gaza instead of moving them abroad?
Wouldn't a corrupt billionaire do that?
Things don't add up, do they?
You know where Netanyahu's son is now, as we speak?
No, he is NOT fighting in Gaza. Oh no, Netanyahu would not allow that - Israelis are not equal.
His son is In Miami, Florida, in an expensive condo with a view over the ocean, paid and secured by Shin Bet at a cost of 250,000 USD of Israel's taxpayers money, many of whom are actually fighting the war and risking their life for Israel.
Re (4)
I don't know if this is true. It may well be.
BUT, what does it have to do with Al Jazeera?
You see?
You keep making the same mistake that I've already told you, at least twice, in my previous posts - you tend to make too many assumptions.
Judge Al Jazeera on their MERITS, don't just look at who funds them and, ASSUME, automatically, that they must be reporting lies.
I read, listen and watch to very many news outlets and cross-check Al Jazeera's stories so have a good feel as to how credible Al Jazeera is.
Here is one challenge for you (and I already know what you'll most likely say):
Give me just one or two examples when Al Jazeera got it wrong or, worse still, intentionally lied.
I can think of only 1 or 2 instances that they got it wrong since 7 October.
And they were just minor things, nothing serious.
How does that Al Jazeera's record compare to rags like The New York Times, Wall Street Journal and other American trash?
