> Israel’s cabinet on Sunday unanimously voted to shut down the Qatari news outlet Al Jazeera’s operations in Israel, nearly six months after first announcing its intentions to do so due to security concerns related to the Israel-Hamas war.
…
>The decision, which requires recertification every 45 days, includes shutting down Al Jazeera broadcasts in Arabic and English; shutting down Al Jazeera’s offices in Israel; seizing equipment used for its broadcasts; and limiting access to its websites.
Honestly, insane that it took so long to shut down a propaganda arm of an enemy state. Al Jazeera is owned by a country that funds and supports Hamas. It’s full blown propaganda. It’s a bit of a pipe dream, but maybe one day they’ll also shut down Russian propaganda in Israel (which targets many misinformed immigrants from the former USSR who mostly take in their news via Russian-speaking media)
Religious identity and blind faith always attacks through social media regardless of religion. State sponsored ones are worse though
State sponsored media should be forced by law to decalre they’re a state sponsored media at the beggining of every article and every broadcast.

Worth remembering that shutting down foreign state-owned media is not unprecedented for the West. Most recent was when Canada and 10 EU states shut down RT back in 2022.
I guess that is one way to prevent the truth.
Its going to be very interesting when Israel appears in World Court. There will be no suppression of truth then.
A hard decision, though Al Jazeera would certainly be biased against Israel due to their primary funders.
Al Jazeera is pure qatari propaganda
r/journalism losing their damn minds
Most Westerners don’t know that Al Jazeera is banned in several Arab countries because of national security risks. Al Jazeera in Arabic promotes hardcore Muslim Brotherhood propaganda which fuels sectarian violence. It’s no coincidence they had exclusive access to Al Qaida and now Hamas and other regional Islamist forces. Also their Arabic language networks are hardly journalistic by Western standards. If Al Jazeera in Western countries would run the same programming as they do in Arabic language, they would lose their licenses. Qatar is very strategic in how it manipulates audiences abroad. They’re even better refined than Kremlin’s propaganda assets.
They are the enemy within. They travel around Israel recording military installations and passing coordinates to the enemy, among many other things.
