• That is just absolute bullshit and lies.

    1. detainees are treated very well in germany
    2. there is no threat to free speech in germany whatsoever. Even russian Propaganda is allowed to continue.

    I have no idea why People are still posting aljazeera as a reliable and unbiased source. They’re framing at best and straight up misinforming at worst.

          Yeah, let’s trust Israelis, who claim Palestinians don’t even exist. That’s for sure not fake news /s

          By the way, those 1.5 million people killed in Iraq due to “weapons of mass destruction” were really not fake news /s

              Hehe. To be true, I gave up on the idea that media are telling the truth: Either they won’t tell because they don’t want, or they themselves don’t know better, or because they are not aware of their bias, or whatever reason.

              I see media now as lawyers.

              As in a court hearing, each presents the case of his clients (ther countries, their CEOs, their ideologies, whatever).

              The mission of the judge is to put the opposing lawyers in contradiction, and each lawyer has the right to contradict everything the other side says: contradict the witnesses, the framing, the questions, everything.

              Only then can the judge have a base to decide their mind.

              We, news consumers, ar the judges in this analogy: We have to read contradicting media (and I mean not CNN vs FOX, but Western vs non western), to have a minimal chance of expanding the picture and filter what makes sense or not, and see what each lawyer is hiding about his client.

              Only then we have a minimal chance of taking a well informed decision.

                That is just straight up wrong. And dangerous. You’re effectively saying that you willfully watch arabic Propaganda and don’t care. All that because you wrongfully believe that somehow other media aren’t unbiased?

                Even if we assume that Media is inherently flawed, aljazeera still is Propaganda that utilizes Framing to push a narrative. It doesn’t even TRY to be unbiased. But sure, go on ahead about “but other side bad too”

                  Do you have any Arabic, Israeli (or at least Jewish) friends to compare what the press say so you know which one is lying?

                  I have my suspections about Al Jazeera (for instance, they never point any mistake of Hamas, and other stuff they talk about some countries I know), but what they say matches well with stuff I know from people who live in Arabic countries.

                  Al Jazeera is a good source to get out of Israeli/Western press strong bias, which even pretends that history starts on 7th of October and hides the fact that Israel:

                  a) Killed 450 people in West Bank until October 6th

                  b) is committing the highest rate land robbery in West Bank since 1993.

                  I also read Times of Israel and Haaretz to get a broader picture

          those beacons of free-speech are not biased in any way

          Tell me you have no arguments without telling me you have no arguments. Instead of addressing the critics and their points, you go on ad hominem attacks on your western superiority high horse instead because you have no arguments. Otherwise you would’ve addressed these “BS claims” already. Oh look at you how civilized you are in comparison to those barbarians, am I right?

              Why should they have relations with Israel? Palestine is recognized by 140 UN member countries too and yet Germany or the US don’t have a diplomatic relationship with it. Should we stop listening to the US, the UK or Germany now? We should straight up stop posting anything about Palestine if it’s coming from BBC, DW, or whatever other publication with strong ties to the state because the countries they reside in and by which they are (fully or partially) owned don’t recognize Palestine.

      I remember Israeli government saying they found name of terrorists in a paper under a hospital, and when it got translated it was just the days of the week.

      Israeli propaganda can be detected even by a 10 year old.

      That’s straight up bullshit. I’ve seen countless videos over the last few months of arrests where people are literally pummeled by cops with fists to their heads (with metal gloves), or straight up covering their mouths from behind, or dragging and hitting pregnant women, and so on. Besides that Aljazeera has as much integrity as CNN. Not the best, but let’s not act like they’re RT News or Sputnik.

      • pummeled by cops with fists to their heads (with metal gloves),

        well, there your entire argument falls apart, because german Cops don’t have metal gloves. I invite you to prove to me and the world, that what the Article said is true, and german police mistreats detainees.

        Aljazeera has as much integrity as CNN

        lmao. You mean that aljazeera, that does no fact-checking, reports on rumours and hearsays, extensively uses framing and sometimes even disinformation to push a narrative is somehow comparable to CNN, a globally recognized News organization? this is so wrong on so many Levels. Aljazeera is at the best comparable to Fox News if anything.

          Plastic gloves, whatever. Hard gloves. You can see them on video. Getting hit in the face by those isn’t pleasant any other way. It’s also interesting how you don’t address any valid criticism at all but just try to do casual hasbara “explaining yourself around”

          and sometimes even disinformation to push a narrative is somehow comparable to CNN

          Lol, the same CNN that made IDF propaganda videos about the supposed “HAMAS CONTROL CENTER” and “Hamas using hospitals as fighting positions” where they filmed a backpack with a gun behind AN MRT MACHINE. And even the same CNN that back in the day lied about WMDs in Iraq. Yes, they are very, very comparable in integrity. Get off your high horse here

          • I invited you to show me proof in my Comment. Yet you didn’t show me any Proof, not even the Video you apparently have.

            So allow me to draw my conclusions: You don’t have any proof or Video to show. You are lying and wasting our time here.

            So please let me reiterate my Statement: The claims in aljazeera are false and it is spreading misinformation in order to push its own Agenda. Nobody should ever Link to it as a credible source for anything.

              Go check the other guy’s reply with videos of cops assaulting peaceful protesters. He replied to you specifically and you replied back, so there’s absolutely no chance you haven’t seen those videos.
