MODERATORS
Al Jazeera clearly have their own biases, but outright banning them would be a bad sign.
They seem to be the only news station with reporters on the ground IN Gaza, so a ban could be seen as shutting the last (official) window of information, which does not sound good at all.
Al Jazeera has the shocking bias of valuing the lives of Muslims
They're also owned by the Qatari government so like, don't believe them if they tell you the slaves that make up 89% of Qatar's population are enjoying prosperous and fulfilling lives
This reporting isn't on Qatar.
Well, as long as they're the right type of Muslim.

Not just Israel and western governments that have accused them of an Islamist bias. The Palestinian Fatah party has also previously accused them of bias towards Hamas. At one point they closed down Al Jazeera's offices in the West Bank.
The English language version is apparently less openly biased than the Arabic version.
No way, Muslims are biased towards Muslims?
