I genuinely thought this was hyperbolic satire.

EDIT: Outlet has edited headline since time of posting.

    Al Jazeera must have updated/corrected it. The title of the post was the original headline.

        Al Jazeera is always extremely anti Israel. The Arabic version even more so than the English one.

            Well, you can check it yourself. Go to Arabic Al Jazeera and use machine translation and compare it to the English version. Then compare the article to the same topic on the BBC and Times of Israel. Compare and contrast.

            Al Jazeera is Qatari state media. There’s no press freedom in that authoritarian kingdom.

              Yeah well you can check it yourself as well. I don’t know how any of your mental gymnastics relate to the dumb shit you said originally.

              Why does ‘state media with no press freedom in an authoritarian kingdom’ only seem scary when it’s al jazeera’s and not BBC’s or Times of Israel’s?
