The network denies being a threat to security, and says Israel wants “to cover up its crimes”.

This shit is just insane.
If they weren’t committing a genocide, then I would agree that THIS is insane, but this is just casual Sunday for current Israel’s government.
And the fascism grows.
This puts the Israeli fascists one step closer to the Nazi government from 1933-1945 in Germany
only democracy in the middle east BTW
Israel is definitely want to cover up their crimes.
Well obviously Hamas was hiding there /s
There was a Hamas base in the green room.
go go nazisrael. all hail hitleryahuu
I mean did they even condemn Hamas?
They reported on Hamas Attacks in a fairly standard news style when they attacked. Israel has killed at least 25x more civilians then Hamas i would expect slightly different reporting based on that at this stage.
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/10/7/what-happened-in-israel-a-breakdown-of-how-the-hamas-attack-unfoldedDid any news organization personally condemn the attack? Because their job is to report the news, and they did that. And journalists have more to fear from Israel than Hamas if we are going by numbers. See

But they won’t be able to do any local reporting anymore, at least not easily.
I thought their website was (will be?) blocked in Israel too?
They only took down the TV channel. I don’t know what usage statistics are like, but I suspect the website was already quite used.
To clarify my previous comment, this doesn’t mean that the Israeli government’s actions aren’t fascistic in nature, or concerning for the future. Just that their chosen course of operation in this specific case is ineffective. At worst it’s an inconvenience.
I’ll go against the grain and say it’s fine for Isreal to remove al Jazeera because they are in an ongoing war. It’s common to remove certain “news” outlets during war and al Jazeera’s coverage of this conflict makes fox news look like a bastion of truth.
Isreal still has access to plenty of new outlets that report negatively on the conflict and scrutinize the government.
“I’ll go against the grain”. Proceeds to maintain the status quo and bootlick for fascists.
Obviously ‘against the grain’ is talking about lemmy general opinion. Yes it’s status quo to remove opposing news agencies during a war.
Just because something is common, doesn’t make it right. Israel is locking down anyone that dares speak out against them.
Saying “Isreal is locking down anyone that dares speak out against them” shows a complete lack of understanding over the issue. Of course you think it’s wrong if that’s what you think is happening.
Oh, ok, then why don’t you explain those issues that justify fascist acts for us.
Or you could read the article 🤔
Bro, wtf are you even talking about? Like, for real.
You’re making less sense than a 4 year old lying to try and get out of being in trouble.
I realize now my mistake was thinking a Nazi would be reasonable.
Lemmy.ml moment
Israel under Likud is a fascist state
Tf is wrong with you? Do you even read Al Jazeera? It has been like the most trustworthy organization covering this genocide.
They’re not censoring it for lying, but for telling the truth.
I do read articles from them posted here often. I find them to be extremely bias and quick to report events that have little evidence.
I don’t know how you can look at this situation and come away with the opinion that they are being banned for “telling the truth”.
A bias against war crimes is a good bias.
Yes that’s exactly right. Spot on interpretation.
I find them to be extremely bias
I find you to be extremely illiterate.
Is this one of those “reality has a liberal bias” situations?
No.
