    Thanks for the headsup on the dead link. I’ve replaced it with an archived link.

    Obviously I’m not going to argue the US isn’t hypocritical in its dealings with Qatar. You can also look forward to Europe doing exactly nothing, because they rely on Qatari gas.

    But if you think it’s damning that Qatar has close ties to the US, you should probably read this:

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2014/07/30/how-israel-helped-create-hamas

    That’s the thing with people who spread pro-Islamist coverage, including stuff from al-Jazeera.

    For years Hamas was supported by key players in Israel. A strong Hamas helped to sow division in the Palestinian cause, undermining the two state solution. People who support Hamas, and/or push pro-Islamist media, are arguably helping support the continued oppression of the Palestinian people.

    Netenyahu and the Jewish supremacists in his government, certainly weren’t too dissapointed by this recent Hamas attack. They have their excuse now. Thanks to Hamas and media like Al-Jazeera who support them.

      You think it’s damning that Qatar has close ties to the US?

      No, the opposite.

      … I had to go back because I didn’t understand your response in context. I reread your original comment and I think I misunderstood you.

      Not really sure where to go from here. I don’t think Al Jazeera is nearly as bad as RT. Is AJ propaganda? Yeah, in the same way WSJ is. Everybody has a bias but I’ve never seen AJ bend the truth like Fox or NY Post.
