‘We Jews are just arrested; Palestinians are beaten’: Protesters in Germany - eviltoast
  • 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.

    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”

      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

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