    "They take revenge on us with our children?" he said, referring to the Israeli army. "It's okay. To God we belong and to him we return."

    Wow. Truly heartbreaking.

    Blinken asked Al Jazeera to "tone down" its coverage of Israel's massacre less than 24 hours ago. This looks very intentional.

    [edit]

    US and Israel have repeated bombed Al Jazeera reporters during war. In Gaza, in Iraq, in Afghanistan.

      What a fucking deranged thing to say to one of the few (only??) English language news stations with reporters on the ground in Gaza. Even worse when you consider the history of Israel targeting AJ buildings and reporters.

      "Please stop reporting on the war crimes being committed against your journalists, and their family and friends."

    It is one of the few global media channels that has a physical presence in Gaza and Israel, which has barred anyone from leaving or entering the coastal enclave that is now under complete siege with no electricity, fuel and other supplies allowed to enter.

    International coverage of the Israeli bombardment, therefore, has fallen to media organisations already on the ground, such as Al Jazeera.

    Can’t report on what Israel is doing there if Israel kills them and bars them from reporting.

    Oh, I see. I'd been wondering why they were pushing the "North Korea and China threaten people's families" lie lately, but now it's clear

    Demons. Anyone who supports the Zionist entity in any capacity is a fascist.
