Al-Jazeera
From Conservapedia - Reading time: 44 min
Al-Jazeera (Literally The Peninsula, Arabic: الجزيرة) is a satellite television broadcast network and Islamic propaganda channel[1] based in and owned by the Emirate of Qatar.[1] It offers Muslim-centric news broadcasts and Web content in Arabic and in English.
Termed al-Jihadzeera.[2][3][4]
Al-Jazeera is basically Political Islam as a media arm of The Qatari State. It's a platform For Global Jihad; saturated with Anti-U.S. and Anti-West views; even Antisemitism and Holocaust denial; its coverage is supportive of Anti-Israel terrorist Groups.[5]

History[edit]
Al-Jazeera began in 1995 when the British Broadcasting Corporation ceased their operations in Qatar and left their equipment behind. The Emir of Qatar formed an independent satellite broadcasting company, turned the equipment over to its officers, and pledged never to interfere with the new company's corporate or editorial management staff, nor dictate what news was or was not fit to broadcast.
Since then, Al-Jazeera has developed markets throughout the Arab world, including the nomadic tribes who can easily carry the kind of equipment required to receive Al-Jazeera's satellite signal.
In 2013 Al-Jazeera bought Al Gore's left-wing current affairs channel Current TV and renamed it Al-Jazeera America.[6] From August 20, 2013 until it shut down on April 12, 2016, Al-Jazeera America was available in American households.[7] It ceased operations in 2016 due to low viewership.
Bin Laden[edit]
Regarding airing Bin Laden's tapes 'in full' - 2001:[8] Fmr. Al-Arabiya News Channel General Manager Abdulrahman Al-Rashed: Al-Jazeera Aired The Bin Laden Tapes In Full Because Its Main Focus Was Indoctrination; I Would Have Aired Only The Newsworthy Titles.
Noted at the time that the airing:[2]exposes the true nature of Qatar's Al-Jazeera TV channel and its adversarial role in the current conflict. Perhaps a more fitting name for this channel would be "Al-Jihadzeera"! ... the article makes it abundantly clear where this particular Arab institution stands.
Controversy[edit]
vicious racist Arab terrorist with knife running towards people to murder, is eliminated. Yet, lying Al Jazeera reports it as if he was just "killed" a supposed "poor innocent civillian Palestinian." This happens repeatedly, only to smear Israel.[9] (In addition. Qatar's linked Arab racism infested Al Jazeera posts a picture of religious Jews - eventhough its majority even avoid IDF draft - to make sure a sheer hateful association is made.)
Al-Jazeera has been accused of expressing open sympathy with those who interpret the Islamic concept of jihad to stand for a physical holy war against anyone and anything non-Islamic. More particularly they have been accused of fomenting extremism among Arab youth and willfully distorting its reporting of terrorist incidents, riots, etc. For example, the Al-Jazeera host Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi has sanctioned the killing of those who leave Islam.[10] It has also, in particular, been accused of being little more than a propaganda mouthpiece for Islamic terrorist groups such as Al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood[1][11][12] and for displaying pro-Islamic and anti-Semitic bias in its reporting and programming.[13] At one point in 2013, former Al-Jazeera staff admitted that the network had been airing what is now widely referred to as fake news in its programming.[14] Not surprisingly, liberals in the media have been very supportive of Al-Jazeera; in fact, a number of employees for Al-Jazeera America and Al-Jazeera English formerly worked at other liberal media outlets such as CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS and the BBC.[15] The outlet has ironically accused the conservative Rebel News of being "fake news" and "propaganda".[16]
Al Jazeera has for long been presenting: lies, manipulations and agitation against Israel.[17]
- In 2015, a former Al Jazeera America exec sued the network. Shannon High-Bassalik said she was fired for being in "default" of her contract for being an "ineffective leader" and not getting along with others. High-Bassalik alleged that the Al Jazeera network promoted only Middle Eastern and Arabic viewpoints, at one point even invoking conspiracy theories such as that the 911 attacks were conducted by the CIA. And that non-Arabic and female employees were treated as "second class citizens." Arabic employees were routinely given inflated performance reviews and promoted to jobs they were not qualified for, High-Bassalik alleges. Al Shihabi would often exclude female employees from meetings and would "leave meetings where female employees were giving presentations and [state] that he would only return when such employees had stopped speaking."
Her lawsuit also alleges that the company's management promoted an anti-Israel bias, and when employees tried to counter the messages, they were told they were too biased in favor of the country.[18][19][20]
- In a 2021 example of spreading anti-Israel libel fake story, it retracted only after damage has already been done all across the Arab world in epidemic of hatred in the tendency to believe any rumors, especially when as a "report" by this vast Arab media. And "the antisemitic story is spreading widely in Arabic-speaking circles."[21]
The network's logo consists of the reworking of the Arabic word Al-Jazeera (the peninsula) into a stylized drawing of a drop of water.
- Arab Muslim, Mahmoud Daoud, of a 'good' established family --his father owning a restaurant and his brother-on-law is son of justice Khaled Kabub,[22] (BTW, in 2018, it was reported that the restaurant treated Jews in a discriminatory fashion. Arabs enter to eat without waiting in line, Jews wait outside.[23])-- with two other Arabs decided they wanted to burn Jews alive. Thinking it was a Jewish family, since there was no Muslim Ramadan celebrated decoration there.[24] He, with two other[25] racist Arabs, plotted to, then on May 15, 2021, two threw molotov cocktail into the house injuring a 12 year old Arab boy of the Jantazi family. The plan and intention was to burn the house.[26] "Out of hatred and a nationalist-racist motive, and with the intent to kill human life."[27] Ahmad Daoud laughed at the court building when asked if he wanted to say sorry to the victim family, instead he asked: "Do I look good?"[28][29] Yet, Al Jazeera, months after knowing that it was Arabs who attacked, still carried that tweet in its article. Blaming --like in so many bigoted Arab libels against-- Israeli Jews.[30] The first to come up with this libel was the unreliable Siha Mekomit (Hebrew “sister” of the English +972 site) within 5 minutes of the arrack.[31]
- After an Arab Muslim in Israel, Muhammad Alab Ahmed abu Alkiyan, ISIS, on Mar 22, 2022, went on a massacre spree, combined attack, vehicle-ramming and stabbing, murdering 4[32][33] because they were Jews, Al Jazeera called the Islamic murderer a shahid "martyr." Kuwaiti journalist condemnd al-Jazeera over the coverage of the attack in Beer Sheva:[34]
"You call murderers as having died as "martyrs," a rotten channel ?! Incitement to kill innocent women and old men, legitimize the killer and announce to him the death of saints. Whoever kills innocent people on the street from any country or religion is a rotten terrorist!"
- Following the May 5, 2022 ax attack on heads of civilians,[35][36] (at Haredi town - overwhelmingly conscientious objectors), reporters from the Qatari al-Jazeera network, public figures and journalists in Qatar tweeted praise for the attack and its perpetrators, praised the use of the axes and expressed gloating.[37]
Anti-Semitism[edit]
- Apr 19, 2012, Marah M. Elwadia, Palestinian journalist of Gaza strip. Born November 14, 1990 (Joined Twitter July 2011), blogger and engager at @ajplusarabi part of Al-Jazeera Network - posts admiringly that fake Hitler quote (probably originated among some Arabs, Muslims beginning in 2009[38]): "Adolf Hitler: I could burn all the Jews of the world but I left the rest to teach..." Adds: "f#k j--s."[39][40]
- In 2019, after its AJ+ in May, aired a twisted denial clip about the Holocaust, by Amer al-Sayed Omar and colleague Kuwaiti-Palestinian Muna Hawwa, it apologized in English afterwards. It was slammed for not doing so clearly in Arabic...[41][42]
Less than one year after his suspension following the production of an AJ+ video promoting Holocaust denial, Amer al-Sayed Omar returned to the network. If the promised mandatory bias training ever happened, there's no evidence that it left a mark on Omar and colleague Muna Hawwa.
Arab media complaint of al Jazeera demonizing Israel[edit]
After the Abraham Accord was signed, UAE's prominent editor said in September 2020: "the image that many Arabs have in mind is that Israelis are killing Palestinians." The "image, which Al-Jazeera had nurtured for years."[44]
Hamas' mouthpiece[edit]
A 2022 Hamas' attempt to discredit the activity of the institution in Turkey. Expert:[45]At Hamas they understand that the Israeli Mossad has excellent intelligence capabilities and that it also provided the Turkish intelligence evidence that Hamas extension is engaged in terrorism and also in undermining the Palestinian Authority. Therefore, Hamas leadership is .. trying to bring a wedge between the Israeli institution and the Turkish intelligence. Al-Jazeera Channel, one of Hamas' mouthpiece the transmitter from Qatar, which broadcast on July 1, "a long" investigation called "Institution of Mossad In Istanbul". In the "investigation," which was actually a propaganda for the Hamas movement, were presented documents, recordings and testimonies of people, which al-Jazeera claims were the goals of the Mossad on the soil of Turkey. These people reported the Turkish authorities on the institution's activity.
Encouraging Jihadi massacres[edit]
On the racist-Arab Islamic-fascistic butcher's 2023 Sabbath Jerusalem Synagogue Massacre, Al-Jazeera presenters, Journalists In Qatari Press, Qatar-Backed Muslim Clerics: Terrorist Attack: "'brave act' of 'legitimate resistance [sic],' its perpetrator is a 'hero.'"[46]
Shireen Abu-Akleh[edit]
When propagandist[47][48] / "journalist" for Al-Jazeera, Shireen Abu-Akleh [Aqleh] was shot at the crossfire between "Palestinian" Islamists terror shooters,[49][50] and the IDF, the "Palestinians" refused showing the body, for dear it will reveal the shooters were "Palestinian".[51] Not unexpectedly, the very anti-Semitic al-Jazeera, the number one inciter in the Arab world, put out the bloodlibel as if she was shot "in cold blood".
After AFP screaming headline "decided" instantly already, that she was killed not from the "Palestinian" side:[52]
Following communication from CAMERA’s Israel office, Agence France Presse today amended a headline which stated as fact the unverified, disputed claim that Israeli troops fatally shot Al Jazeera reporter Shireen Abu Aqleh.
AFP, wasn't the only one, major media outlet jumped into conclusions.[53][54]
Besides, experts note:[55]Let there be no misunderstanding. It is the Palestinian Authority, that incited riots, violence, and terror, that bears the full responsibility for the death of the AlJazeera journalist Shireen Nasri.
As Biden called for "investigation" into Abu Akleh death, activist reacted:[56]
I'm waiting for such grand pronouncements and attention for the 23 journalists killed in Ukraine...or do those journalists not matter as much to Biden since there aren't Jews involved?
Not only does Israel have the right Israel to carry out counterterrorism operations against terrorists actively planning to murder Israelis and Journalists who enter war zones do so at their own risk, but it is likely she was killed by Palestinian terrorists. Asides from that, activist noted the ridiculous double standards Israel is held up to. "From 1990 to 2020, 2,658 journalists were killed in war zones,Since 1990, 2658 journalists have been killed.[57] with Iraq, Mexico, the Philippines, Pakistan and India topping the list," activist wrote: "Twelve of them were Al Jazeera journalists, seven of whom were killed in Syria, two in Iraq, one in Yemen, one in Libya, and one, of course, in Jenin this week.
235 journalists have been jailed, with Turkey topping the list with 67 prisoners, Egypt-21, China-20, Eritrea-16, Saudi Arabia-14 and Belarus-11."
"There were no special discussions or decisions by the UN Security Council for any of the above, or such a huge media reaction. Call it what you will. I call it anti-Semitism!"[58] In fact, Shireen's death reveals the media's hatred of Israel.[59]
It was also noted the hypocrisy at MSM, while no one talked about Francisca Sandoval, 30, was shot in the head during clashes on the sidelines of May Day protests in Santiago, Chile.[60] As it does not involve Israel or Jews.[61]
Ahead of and during her funeral, violent Arab-Muslims attacked Israeli security.[62][63][64] Unreported from violence at her funeral: "Palestinian" mob runs off with casket.[65]
While many were quick to condemn Israel for the events surrounding the funeral of Al-Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, new Pakwatch footage shows, that in fact, it was the mob who tried to hijack her body, who were responsible for the disturbance.[66]
Arab "Palestinian" Human Rights activist Bassem Eid:[67]
This is a new low… We’ve seen Palestinian extremists like Hamas use women and children as human shields, but today they used the dead body of #ShireenAbuAkleh as a human shield as rioters destroyed neighborhoods in Jerusalem.
CNN cited in a so called "investigation" a propagandist "consultant" who teams up with NGOs to bash Israel - Chris Cobb-Smith's work with anti-Israel NGOs,
[68] and who previously worked for a terrorist organization and even falsely stated that Israel used (supposedly) white phosphorus bombs against civilians.
It should be noted that the Arabs refused any request from the IDF for a joint investigation of the incident or by another neutral international entity.[69]
The CNN "investigation" claiming Israel [as if] "deliberately" shot Shireen Abu Akla relies on the testimony of a "Palestinian" reporter named Shatha Hanaysha who dreams of "rockets of the resistance."[70] Former diplomat:[71] Another CNN flaw: what motive would Israel have to shoot/"target" a middle age woman? If an Israeli sniper was shooting anyone, why not shoot at Palestinian fighters? How can CNN make a conclusion if the Palestinians refuse to release the bullet?
And it was totally debunked anyway, point by point.[72]
Not unexpectedly, the "Palestinians" didn't like the US (July/2022) revealing that the bullet was badly damaged and prevented a clear conclusion.[73]
Even after stating by the IDF that it could be she was shot from the Israeli side, no logic or shred of evidence was ever presented to the malicious idea that anything about it was intentional, from the shooters aiming at terrorists, specifically.
There is also the documentary clip Lies and Tears, using some of the evidence others had uncovered, and with some additional expert testimony, renowned P. Rehov looks at the events in Jenin that day with a critical eye. He interviews Palestinians who themselves think that the Palestinian Authority had the incentive and means to murder Abu Akleh.[74]
Then, in Nov 2022, after the DOJ's final decision and after US and Israeli elections,[75] where by the latter, linked Biden liberals meddled, invested in propaganda in that country, trying so hard to prevent Netanyahu's return, and Biden, anti-Israel actors (like Soros linked for example) by failing in it, upset,[76] big time, Biden, politicized the FBI (using its resources for politics) to "investigate," the pro Jihad reporter.[77] Setting a sudden precedent, after not doing do in wake of US citizens murdered by Arab "Palestinian" terror attacks in the past.[75]
After this Biden's politicization of the agency, in the wake of Nov 23, 2022 Arab "Palestinian" attack targeting Jews[78][79] in Jerusalem, where an American was injured, it was remarked "Don't hold your breath for an FBI investigation of this attack on a US citizen".[80] And attorney and the father of Alisa Flatow, who was murdered in an Iranian-sponsored Palestinian terrorist attack in 1995, author of A Father’s Story: My Fight for Justice Against Iranian Terror:[81] "FBI should investigate the attack on US citizen in Jerusalem bombing," asking, why the double standard?
Indeed, since the State Department as well as Israel have already ruled death an accident, a probe from the America First Legal Foundation, a conservative watchdog group, wants to know why Biden’s DOJ is investigating the accidental death. [82]
The army still emphasized (as late as Dec 2022) that the possibility that the journalist was killed by Palestinian fire remains.[83]

Revealed: Key witness in Al Jazeera's criminal complaint against Israel [Sleem Awwad] is an Islamic Jihad terrorist.[84]
Shatha Hammad[edit]
"Palestinian" journalist Shatha Hammad praised Hitler on Nov 24, 2014: 'Hitler and I share the same ideology regarding the extermination of the Jews.' In Oct 2022, Thomson Reuters Foundation has canceled the awarding of the Kurt Schork Prize for International Journalism to Palestinian freelance journalist Shatha Hammad [شذى حماد], after uncovering the above post as well as supporting terrorism. At the time of revoking the award, this West Bank-based Hammad works as a freelance correspondent for Middle East Eye (MEE), a London-based online news site covering events in the Middle East and north Africa, contributed to Al Jazeera.[85][86][87][88]
Al Jazeera reacted with adding quotation marks on anti Semitism.[89] So did Hamas site.[90]
Christiane Amanpour, days after her Hitlerist Palestinian friend's award revoked, tries to lump "Palestinians" with blacks and others. [91]

As Sep 2022 Iranian protests went on, Al Jazeera was slammed for toeing the Mullahcracy line. Arab intellectuals accuse it of Ignoring protests in Iran, abandoning protesters and promoting Iranian government narrative.[92]

If you thought Walter Cronkite was bad with his broadcasts that propagandized against American efforts during the Vietnam War, get ready for Al Jazeera America. You may be getting it on your cable provider along with 40 million other American households beginning on August 20, 2013. Al Jazeera, the state propaganda arm of the dictatorial Qatar government is known for stirring up Al Qaeda with images of Osama bin Laden around the time of 9/11. More recently, it cheered the overthrow of the Egyptian government and ignored the sexual assault of CBS news correspondent Lara Logan as she covered protests there. The headquarters are to be in our nation's capitol, at the non-profit Newseum center, even though its operations violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act because they are not labeled as foreign propaganda (a law enacted to protect us from Nazi propaganda). Ironically, the largest and oldest professional journalism educators' association, the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (AEJMC), enjoyed the participation of Al Jazeera in several panels and events at their annual meeting earlier this month.

Another former Al Jazeera America employee — this time a former executive — is suing the network. Shannon High-Bassalik, former senior vice president for programming and documentaries, is suing the company and former CEO Ehab Al Shihabi for breach of contract and violating her civil rights. In her lawsuit, High-Bassalik, who has also worked at CNN, MSNBC and NBC, alleges the network promoted only Middle Eastern and Arabic viewpoints, at one point even invoking conspiracy theories such as that the Sept. 11 attacks were conducted by the CIA. High-Bassalik said the network had abandoned "journalistic objectivity." High-Bassalik also alleges that non-Arabic and female employees were treated as "second class citizens." Arabic employees were routinely given inflated performance reviews and promoted to jobs they were not qualified for, High-Bassalik alleges. Al Shihabi would often exclude female employees from meetings and would "leave meetings where female employees were giving presentations and [state] that he would only return when such employees had stopped speaking." The lawsuit also alleges that the company's management promoted an anti-Israel bias, and when employees tried to counter the messages, they were told they were too biased in favor of the country.

Shannon High-Bassalik, who was fired in February from Al Jazeera America, claims in a lawsuit she filed that during Operation Resilient Cliff she was asked to present Israel as a criminal and emphasize the Arab point of view.
High-Basalik claims that the person who served as head of Al Jazeera America, Ahab al-Shihabi, left the working meetings in which women spoke and admitted that he was trying to work to promote the Arab point of view in the broadcast, to please the owner in Qatar.

Remember the blood libel on 'Duma 2' against the right that burned a 12-year-old boy in Jaffa? The prosecution today filed serious indictments against three Arabs from Jaffa for terrorist acts of throwing Molotov cocktails.
The defendants, out of nationalist motives and in order to arouse fear or panic among the Jewish public in Jaffa, agreed among themselves to bring about the deaths of Jews wherever they are Jews, by burning Jewish homes on their occupants. That evening, the defendants met at the home of Rizk Jarboa. In Daoud's presence, Rizk and Raed Jarboa prepared means to set fire to residential houses, including Molotov cocktails. Later, after Rizek Jarboa and Daoud hid their identities, the two threw Molotov cocktails at two nearby residential apartments, with the aim of setting the apartments on fire and burning their occupants to death ...
The two threw a Molotov cocktail at the window of a first-floor apartment in a building on Kedem Street, where two women were staying at the time. They also threw a Molotov cocktail at an open balcony that was empty of people - as a result of the Molotov cocktails being thrown, a fire broke out on the spot and exterior walls in these apartments were burned and damaged. From there, the two turned onto Ibn Sina Street in Jaffa, and continued the arson attacks with the intent to murder Jews. The two threw a Molotov cocktail at the entrance to the house, where two people were staying at the time. As a result of the dumping of the Molotov cocktail, a fire broke out on the spot and the entrance floor of the house was burned and damaged. Next, they threw a Molotov cocktail through a window into a residential apartment, where seven members of the Gentazi family were staying at the time.
Respondent 1 threw a Molotov cocktail at the minor's family home, out of a mistaken thought that he was living in a Jewish family home. "All Molotov cocktails were thrown by the respondents, at homes that they saw as Jewish homes, out of hatred and a nationalist-racist motive, and with the intention of killing human life." - ↑ Pyro and thug in Jaffa - director of the Old Man and the Sea restaurant Mignews, June 22, 2021.
Channel 13 of Israeli TV published a report on Ahmed Daud, one of the arsonists of a house in the Ajami quarter of Jaffa.
Daud and his accomplices confused an Arab house with a Jewish one and threw a Molotov cocktail at it. As a result, 12-year-old Mohammed Jintazi received severe burns, and his sister was also injured.
Ahmed Daoud is the son of the owner of the famous Old Man and More restaurant. He is also the director of this restaurant. He wanted to burn the Jews who live near his restaurant.
In court, Ahmed Daoud behaves like a hero. Dowd laughed in the face of the reporters who asked: "Maybe you want to ask for forgiveness?" He shouted to his friends in the audience: "How do I look, handsome?"
The Daoud family is one of the richest in Jaffa. It owns real estate in Israel and Turkey, luxury cars. etc.
The family earned their initial capital from drug deals in the 1980s. The father of the family, Mahmoud, at a certain stage decided to go into legal business.
Mahmoud is one of the main donors of the Northern Wing of the Islamic Movement in Israel. All mass events of the movement are carried out with his money.
The report on Channel 13 recalls the scandalous incident during the Eurovision Song Contest in Israel. Representatives of Iceland then came forward with the flags of Palestine. After that, they arrived at the Old Man and the Sea restaurant, where they had a big party with the workers, urging the Arabs to “occupy Tel Aviv”.
Channel 13 also showed a clip from three years ago, which captured the order in the Old Man and the Sea restaurant, Jews stand in a huge and slow line, Arabs pass freely.
Correspondents said that both Ahmad Daoud's accomplices in the arson were also employees of the same restaurant.
It is also reported that Daoud was released from custody two months ago.

Daiyd: Laughs, moves and sits down with a smile.] - ↑ H. Fitzgerald, "The Truth About That ‘Arab Boy In Jaffa Burned By ...’, NER, , 22 May 2021.
... Of the thousands of media outlets around the world that carried the original story, in which Jews were blamed — either directly or by clear implication — for throwing the firebomb that burned the face of the Arab boy, how many, do you think, will print the correct version of the story, and how many will simply let it slide into the Lesser Lethe, now that it has been shown that Jews had nothing to do with it? Having milked the story, part of the latest Gaza conflict, for every last bit of anti-Israel outrage it could provoke, why would the world’s media want to simply confuse audiences by telling them the truth?
Do you think that if the two Arabs who had thrown the firebomb hadn’t made a mistake, but as they intended to, threw the Molotov cocktail into a house where Jews lived, burning the face of a 12-year-old Jewish boy, that the Arabs in Jaffa who — along with some Jews — had demonstrated such fury when they thought Jews had firebombed an Arab house, would utter a syllable of sympathy it the victim had been Jewish, and the perpetrators Arabs? Of course not.
What must the Arabs in Jaffa now be thinking? They are no longer morally outraged. They save their moral outrage for the Jews and the atrocities they attribute to them. No, their fury is of a different kind: it’s a blend of embarrassment and anger. “How stupid you make all of us Arabs look, by firebombing the wrong house. Can’t you get your murderous act together?”
These Palestinian blunders happen so often that the Israelis have mordantly given them a name: they call them “work accidents.” Most involve the mishandling of explosives, leading to a hoist-by-their-own-petard situation.
Here are just a handful:
On August 24, 2020, four members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad were killed in bomb-making accident in the Gaza Strip. The bomb apparently blew up just as they were preparing to use it. A “work accident.”
In April 2018, members of the same group were killed in the southern Gaza Strip along the border with Israel. But Israel had nothing to do with it. An explosion struck the three-wheeled vehicle they were riding in; the PIJ said, without elaborating, that all four were killed “during preparations,” implying they were preparing an attack against Israel. Possibly they struck their own I.E.D. The Palestinians aren’t saying. Another “work accident.”
In March 2018, a lone member of “Palestinian Islamic Jihad” blew himself up while preparing a bomb. A “work accident.”
In February 2017, a Hamas field commander, Muhammad Walid al-Quqa, 37, and presumably no novice in handling explosives, died from injuries sustained while “setting up” something, according to a news release from Hamas’ al-Qassam Brigade.
In July 2014, Hamas rockets misfired, and instead of landing in Israel, landed inside Gaza, hitting a playground in a Gaza City refugee camp and a building inside the compound housing its largest hospital. Among the dead in this example of “making your own goal” were many children.
In July 2001, six Palestinians belonging to Fatah blew themselves up in a refugee camp near Nablus. They had apparently been preparing a bomb. Another “work accident.”
Now the Palestinian perpetrators, caught on CCTV throwing the firebomb into the wrong house, have been exposed both as would-be cowardly murderers, and as figures out of “Dumb and Dumber.” I was reminded of what happened on Al Quds Day, May 9, where a group of Iranian students, apparently outside a university in Tehran, waving PLO flags and posters with pro-Palestinian slogans, were poised to set fire to a large Israeli flag that had been prepared specially for the event. But the man assigned to set the flag on fire failed to take prevailing weather conditions into account, and in the seconds it took for the flag to light, a large flame jumped toward him and his clothing caught on fire. Shrieking, he ran off. His fate has not been reported.
I wonder how many reports will now appear in the non-Israeli or non-Jewish media, informing us that it was Arabs, trying to maim and kill Jews by throwing a firebomb into what they thought was a Jewish house, who had instead targeted by mistake the house of an Arab family, and it was their firebomb that severely burned that 12-year-old Arab boy. I’ve been looking at the English-language media online, but so far, I haven’t been able to find a single one. - ↑ The 'Dwabsha 2' incident turned out to be another blood libel of the left, Arie Yoeli, Srugim News, May 15, 2021.
It took the left exactly 5 minutes to investigate the incident in which a Molotov cocktail was thrown at an Arab house, and to accuse the right of a Duma 2 incident, until it became clear that the suspicion was that Arabs were in fact responsible.
Sabbath-keepers were unaware of the blood libel being hatched against the right during the Sabbath.
During Saturday night, unknown individuals threw a Molotov cocktail at an Arab house in Jaffa. As a result of the flare-up, a 12-year-old boy was injured and was hospitalized in critical condition, while being anesthetized and respirated.
It took the left exactly 5 minutes to investigate the incident and understand that these were right-wingers who tried to murder Arabs in Jaffa. This is how the left-wing website 'Sicha Mekomit' described the incident: "Right-wingers threw a Molotov cocktail into an Arab house in Jaffa."
Left-wing spokesman on social media Eldad Yaniv, has already called the event "Duma 2".
And MK Yair Golan, who recognizes the processes, has already given his regular lecture on right-wing terrorism.
But a few hours later, it became clear that the police suspected that these were Arabs who apparently misidentified and threw the bottle into a house of Arabs instead of a house of Jews. To this suspicion are added testimonies from Jaffa residents, which testify to a number of people who marked the homes of Jews and Arabs in the past week.
Another Molotov cocktail was thrown at the home of non-Arab diplomats. In another incident, Arabs burned the cars of MK Efrat Reitan of the Labor Party.

Hamas is trying to damage the good relations between the Israeli Mossad and the Turkish intelligence through a fabricated investigation at the Al-Jazeera Channel...
An attempt to discredit the activity of the institution in Turkey
At Hamas they understand that the Israeli Mossad has excellent intelligence capabilities and that it also provided the Turkish intelligence evidence that Hamas extension is engaged in terrorism and also in undermining the Palestinian Authority. Therefore, Hamas leadership is now trying to bring a wedge between the Israeli institution and the Turkish intelligence. Al-Jazeera Channel, one of Hamas' mouthpiece the transmitter from Qatar, which broadcast on July 1, "a long" investigation called "Institution of Mossad In Istanbul". In the "investigation," which was actually a propaganda for the Hamas movement, were presented documents, recordings and testimonies of people, which al-Jazeera claims were the goals of the Mossad on the soil of Turkey. These people reported the Turkish authorities on the institution's activity. In October 2020, the Turkish Intelligence arrested 15 (supposedly) working for the 'Mossad," most suspects were students sent to study in Turkey, the Mossad, according to the Turks, focused on recruitment activities of the Arab communities living in Turkey and the connection with them was mainly through social networks and it tried to get information about Hamas operatives in Turkey. However, according to security sources in Jerusalem, the one who was active in recruiting this network was actually General Majid Pereg, head of Palestinian intelligence. The Turkish intelligence also confiscated a large amount of money in Istanbul, which reached the Palestinian intelligence apparatus to finance the activity of the Palestinian students raised by him.
President Erdogan raged about Majed Farj's activity in Turkey and reprimanded PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas. But ar the time, it was very convenient for the President Erdogan to attack Israel and the Turkish media would be prepared that these were the agents of the Israeli institution although none of the industries and detainees were not one Israeli. Turkish intelligence understands the rules of the game well, the spirit now blowing from President Erdogan's office is to tighten relations with the Israeli Mossad and thwart any Iranian terrorist activity on Turkish soil that could jeopardize Turkey's political and economic interests.
Informed sources say that Hamas' attempt to tarnish relations between the Israeli Mossad and Turkish intelligence through fabricated "investigations" on the al-Jazeera propaganda channel is pathetic, Turkish intelligence knows the truth and this experience indicates great frustration in the Hamas leadership due to the close relationship between Israel and Turkey. - ↑ Al-Jazeera Presenters, Journalists In Qatari Press, Qatar-Backed Muslim Clerics: Terrorist Attack Near Jerusalem Synagogue Was 'Brave Act' Of 'Legitimate Resistance,' Its Perpetrator Is A 'Hero' Memri, February 1, 2023.

The police prepared for the funeral with increased forces, including a preliminary dialogue conducted with the family members for coordination in all aspects of holding the funeral legally. Police said that under the auspices of the funeral and while cynically and improperly exploiting it, hundreds of Arab rioters began to disrupt public order, even before the funeral began.
Hundreds of Arabs gathered outside the French hospital in the Shimon Hatzadik neighborhood and began chanting calls for nationalist incitement.

1. Per CNN's own map, the Israeli forces were positioned in between Abu Akleh and the militants. If they were shooting at each other (green arrow for IDF, red arrow for gunmen), then the Palestinians were the only ones shooting in Abu Akleh's direction.
2. 2. CNN confirms that both the Israelis and the militants were using M16 and M4 rifles. It then cites an "expert" who claims that the Palestinians, about 300 meters away from Abu Akleh, were out of range. The M4's range is 500+ meters. The M16's range is 800+ meters.
3. The report relies heavily on "eyewitnesses." Citing witness testimony from within what @NatanSharansky would call a "fear society" is inherently problematic. The sources are highly motivated to toe the line and would place themselves at great personal risk if they didn't.
4. CNN then cites "explosive weapons expert" Chris Cobb-Smith, who is no objective observer. Cobb-Smith has a history (over a decade) of directing his "expertise" towards incriminating Israel. He's also tied to some reliably anti-Israel groups, including Forensic Architecture.
Cobb-Smith claims that the grouping of bullet holes at the scene could not have come from random (militant) fire. But CNN ignores the likelihood that the gunmen were firing -- and specifically aiming -- in the direction of the IDF, whom Abu Akleh was standing behind.
Also, the spacing of the bullet holes shown by CNN, with one higher up and two lower down, seem unlikely to have come from a sniper, as CNN asserts. I know of no military that would retain a sniper who was that bad a shot, no less the IDF.
5. CNN's final piece of "evidence" comes from forensic audio analyst Robert Maher who matches the (200m) from which the deadly bullet was fired to the IDF. Maher seems straight enough, but here's the catch. Per CNN, there were 2 volleys fired in Abu Akleh's direction...
Maher only analyses the second volley because, CNN says, "eyewitnesses" say Abu Akleh was hit in the second barrage. But what if the eyewitnesses were wrong, per the above, and she was killed in the first? Why does CNN not give us the same data from the first volley?
If, as seems a more likely scenario, the militants (from 300m) came up behind the Israelis and fired in their (and Abu Akleh's) direction, then the Israelis would have returned fire (from 200m) towards them. Maher may be right on distance, but the IDF was shooting the other way.
In sum, CNN's report appears carefully constructed to fit a pre-determined conclusion: Israel is guilty. It will no doubt be used to recruit for terror groups who prey on innocent civilians in Israel and in worldwide Jewish communities. Their blood will be on @CNN's hands. - ↑ Tovah Lazaroff, Anna Ahronheim, Lahav Harkov, Khaled Abu Toameh, Abu Akleh bullet test inconclusive but IDF likely responsible, US claims, JPost, Jul 4, 2022.
Test results on the damaged bullet that killed Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh were inconclusive. But additional investigations showed it was likely she was accidentally killed by gunfire originating from an IDF position, the United States said Monday.

The US Security Coordinator oversaw third-party ballistic tests on the bullet and had full access to both IDF and Palestinian Authority investigations into the events in Jenin that May 11 morning when Abu Akleh was killed, Price said. - ↑ New documentary questions the narrative of the IDF killing Shireen Abu Akleh (video), EoZ, Nov 17, 2022.
Renowned documentary filmmaker Pierre Rehov has released a film on the death of Shireen Abu Akleh that casts doubt on whether it was an IDF soldier that killed her.
It is called "Lies and Tears."
Using some of the evidence I had uncovered, and with some additional expert testimony, Rehov looks at the events in Jenin that day with a critical eye. He interviews Palestinians who themselves think that the Palestinian Authority had the incentive and means to murder Abu Akleh.
The summary of the film:
UNPRECEDENTED CAMPAIGN: Since 1990, 2658 journalists have been killed in the line of duty. None of them has had the media coverage of Shireen Abu Akleh. The well-organized campaign launched by the Palestinian Authority around her death has almost no precedent.
UNFOUNDED ACCUSATION: Assuming that an Israeli soldier was really responsible for the death of the Al Jazeera journalist, the accusation that it was a deliberate shooting is unfounded. The film shows that at such a distance no one could see the “press” sign on Shireen’s bulletproof vest. Palestinian gunmen were firing at Israeli soldiers from all directions.
FALSE WITNESSES: The “witnesses” who were at the scene and first to accuse Israel of murder are claiming to be impartial journalists. They are, in fact, propagandists of the Palestinian Authority, as the film clearly shows.
DISTORTION OF FINDINGS: CNN, The Washington Post and Bellingcat, called on Professor Maher, a forensic specialist and sound analyst, to define the distance between the journalist and the shooter from videos shot at the time of the tragedy, but they distorted his report to accuse the Israeli army. Professor Maher’s analysis, which Rehov also obtained, describes a distance between the sound recorders and the shooter, not between the journalist and the shooter. This “detail” leads to a difference of more than 20 meters which places the shooter further north of the army’s most extreme position. Yet, this critical detail has been glossed over in all the official versions, concluding that Israel is responsible.
Professor Maher’s calculation was made for an M4, a weapon frequently used by Israeli soldiers. But if the bullet was fired from any other weapon with a longer barrel, the distance shortens again and places the shooter more than 40 meters north of the Israeli position.
OMMISSIONS: Witnesses, including one of the “journalists” who was near Shireen Abu Akleh at the time of the tragedy, mention the presence of gunmen in a house not far from them. These testimonies have never been taken up by the media. They describe “snipers,” but the film formally demonstrates that it was impossible for Israeli “snipers” to have been in these positions. There were men shooting at the journalists from the buildings. They could not be Israelis. So, who were they?
EXPERT TESTIMONY: The film gives the floor to high-level international experts, including a French GIGN officer, court-appointed forensic expert Alain Artuso, and physicist Nahum Shahaf. Each of them, according to their expertise, points out several mistakes made by those who accuse the Israeli army.
Rehov is also the first one to include my findings that there were Palestinian snipers in houses and on roofs.
At this point the IDF has all but admitted that it was their own soldier who shot Abu Akleh, and Rehov doesn't include in his distance analysis the additional factor of the extra time from the shockwave to the microphone which could indeed potentially include the place the IDF was known to be. Nevertheless, the idea that the IDF would deliberately kill a journalist is shown here to be as absurd as possible. And the "experts" from Bellingcat, AP, the NYT and Washington Post based their distance estimations on wrong data. - ↑ 75.0 75.1 Sean Burns, The Washington Post’s Short-Sighted Editorial on the FBI’s Abu Akleh Investigation, The Algemeiner, Nov 21, 2022.
As Richard Goldberg, a senior advisor to the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a Washington D.C.-based think tank, noted: “It should be an expectation of every American that our government will press democratic allies for expedited and transparent investigations when U.S. citizens die in any circumstance — and that’s what already happened in this case.” Goldberg pointed out that “the top U.S. security official in the area oversaw an independent forensic analysis and concluded that Abu Akleh’s tragic death was not intentional.”
The White House has claimed that it wasn’t aware of the DOJ investigation — a claim that is questionable. But if this were true it raises questions of its own — questions that the Washington Post isn’t asking. For example: Why now? Why only after the Israeli and US elections? And why a second investigation; does the DOJ think that State’s conclusions were wrong — and if so, why? The timing could suggest a politically motivated investigation, one being conducted to appease certain members of Congress, some with a history of antisemitic remarks and questioning Israel’s existence, who have been petitioning the Biden administration to investigate the Jewish state and put it on the defensive. The DOJ’s decision is far from standard practice. Indeed, numerous Americans have been attacked and killed by Palestinian terrorists, only for the perpetrators to receive tax-deductible salaries from the Palestinian Authority in return. The US did not conduct two separate investigations in those instances, whether it was Ari Fuld, Taylor Force, or any of the dozens of other victims. (The journalist killed in the counter-terror operation was a dual American citizen). Indeed, the current administration has restored aid to the PA, which pays those very terrorist salaries. Such incongruities don’t merit a mention from the Post.
What really seems to be happening is an attempt to use Abu Akleh’s tragic death to cast Israel as a pariah state. And the Washington Post is a willing participant in this chicanery. - ↑ Eric Levine, Biden is turning on Israel to satisfy progressives, JNS, Dec 4, 2022.

The toxicity of this approach is demonstrated by three notable examples: The recently announced FBI investigation into the death of Palestinian-American Al Jazeera reporter Shireen Abu Akleh; the keynote address delivered by Secretary of State Antony Blinken at the left-wing lobby J Street’s annual conference; and the Biden administration’s craven attempt to revive the disastrous 2015 Iran nuclear deal. - ↑ Caroline Glick, The Biden administration weaponizes the FBI against Israel, JNS

As in the Dreyfus affair, there are no Jewish criminals here, and everyone knows it. The Biden administration has ordered the FBI probe into Shireen Abu Akleh’s death because it wants a crisis with Israel.
The Biden administration is feeding Israel to the wolves. That is the only reasonable way to understand Channel 14’s bombshell report on Sunday that the FBI has opened an investigation of IDF soldiers in relation to the death of Al Jazeera reporter Shireen Abu Akleh.
Abu Akleh died on May 11 in Jenin while she was embedded with Iranian-controlled Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists engaged in a gun battle with IDF soldiers. The battle took place in the midst of an onslaught of murderous terror attacks carried out by Jenin-based terrorists affiliated with the Iranian-proxy. On May 5, two PIJ terrorists from Jenin hacked three Israelis to death with axes and wounded three more in the haredi city of Elad, just as Israel’s Independence Day celebrations were ending. The soldiers that entered Jenin on May 11 were part of a counter-terror force tasked with breaking up the PIJ infrastructure in the city. - ↑ Staff, Canadian-Israeli Yeshiva Student Killed in Jerusalem Bombing Laid to Rest: ‘He Was Beloved by All’, The Algemeiner, Nov 23, 2022.

Jerusalem bombing: 18-year-old American olah injured By Jerusalem Post Staff
Published: November 23, 2022. - ↑ Stephen M. Flatow, FBI should investigate the attack on US citizen in Jerusalem bombing, JPost, November 27, 2022.
The FBI announced that it will be investigating the killing of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh but was silent when an American was injured in a bombing.
The Biden administration’s Justice Department recently announced that the Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating the accidental death of an Arab-American journalist in Israel. So why isn’t it investigating this week’s intentional attempted murder of a Jewish American citizen in Israel?
Shireen Abu Akleh, a reporter for the Qatari media agency Al Jazeera, was accidentally shot and killed while covering a shooting attack by Palestinian Arab terrorists against Israeli soldiers in Jenin last May.
The incident has already been thoroughly investigated by the Israeli government, journalists, and so-called human rights organizations. None of the inquiries could determine who actually fired the fatal bullets, nor could they find evidence that the shooting was intentional.
By contrast, the attempt to murder a Jewish American teenager, Naomi Pilichowski, and other passersby in Jerusalem on Wednesday was clearly intentional. Palestinian Arab terrorists planted bombs in two Jerusalem locations filled with pedestrians.
The bombs were packed with nails and screws to inflict maximum suffering on the victims. A Canadian teenager, Aryeh Shechopek, was murdered, and at least eighteen others, including Naomi Pilichowski were wounded, some of them critically.
So why the double standard?
Why is the FBI investigating the Abu Akleh case, and not investigating this week’s Jerusalem bombing?
The Department of Justice has not yet commented publicly on its decision to have the FBI enter the Abu Akleh case. A spokesman for the Biden administration’s National Security Council commented by heaping praise on her as "a fearless[sic] reporter" and expressing solidarity with the Abu Akleh family.
US Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-Maryland) called the FBI investigation "an overdue but necessary and important step in the pursuit of justice and accountability in the shooting death of American citizen and journalist, Shireen Abu Akleh."
So why isn’t Naomi Pilichowski – the victim of an intentional attempted murder, not an accidental shooting – receiving similar attention?
Why isn’t the Biden administration’s National Security Council expressing solidarity with the Pilichowski family? Why isn’t Senator Van Hollen calling for the FBI to investigate the attempt to murder Naomi?
US law does not restrict the pursuit of terrorists who harm Americans overseas only to those who kill Americans. It also includes anybody who “attempts to kill” a US citizen (18 US Code 2332).
Palestinian Arab terrorists have murdered 146 American citizens, and wounded 204 more, since 1968. Yet, not one of those killers has ever been handed over to the United States for prosecution.
Over the years, I have had the opportunity to discuss this matter with senior officials of multiple administrations, Republicans as well as Democrats. The excuses I have heard as to why they don’t pursue Palestinian Arab killers of Americans have ranged from evasive to downright disingenuous.
For example, they have claimed that the US “can’t find” the suspects, even when they are hiding in plain sight, by serving openly in the Palestinian security forces or – in the case of Sbarro pizzeria killer Ahlam Tamimi – hosting a radio show in Amman, Jordan.
US officials also have claimed that nothing can be done because America does not have an extradition treaty with the Palestinian Authority – even though the US frequently arranges for the transfer of criminal suspects from countries with whom it does not have formal treaties.
In fact, the real reason that the FBI is not investigating the latest attempt to murder an American citizen in Israel is the same reason it has never pursued any of the other Palestinian terrorists who have killed or injured Americans: because it would interfere with the administration’s goal of maintaining friendly relations with the Palestinian Authority in order to bring about the creation of a Palestinian state.
The PA will resist any request to hand over killers of Americans, since it regards the killers as heroes. For the United States to pursue justice, it would have to be willing to confront the PA, including putting political and financial pressure on the PA leadership. That would interfere with the Biden administration’s warm relationship with the PA.
And so, justice is sacrificed in order to avoid angering the PA. That’s why the FBI will investigate the accidental death of an Arab-American in Israel who placed herself in a dangerous situation, but not the deliberate murder and attempted murder of Jewish Americans in Israel. That’s why terrorists will be extradited and transferred to the US from around the world – but not if they are Palestinian Arab killers of Americans. And this outrageous double standard will continue until American Jewish leaders make it clear to the Biden administration that they will no longer stand for it.

</span> </li>- ↑ Adam Kredo, Biden’s DOJ Is Investigating an Accidental Death in Israel. A Watchdog Wants To Know Why., Free Beacon, December 7, 2022.
State Department, Israel have already ruled death an accident.
A watchdog group is asking the Justice Department to turn over all internal documents related to its decision last month to launch an FBI probe into Israel's accidental killing of a Palestinian-American reporter.
The probe from the America First Legal Foundation, a conservative watchdog group, comes after the DOJ sent shockwaves through the American pro-Israel community and the Israeli government when it announced last month that it is conducting its own investigation into the death of Shireen Abu Akleh, an Al Jazeera journalist who was shot by Israeli forces during a standoff with Palestinian terrorists. Israel conducted its own investigation in the matter with cooperation from the U.S. State Department and determined that Abu Akleh was accidentally killed by a stray bullet fired by Israeli soldiers. While the State Department said it was satisfied with Israel's probe, the DOJ decided to involve the FBI after a cadre of far-left lawmakers in Congress pressured it on the matter...- ↑ Lesson...

- ↑ Al Jazeera's star witness against Israel outed as Islamic Jihad terrorist, INN, Dec 11, 2022.
A key eyewitness in the formal complaint against Israel filed by Al Jazeera at the International Criminal Court (ICC) over the death of Shireen Abu Akleh Tuesday is a terrorist affiliated with the US-designated terrorist group Islamic Jihad, media watchdog HonestReporting reported on Sunday.
Jenin resident Sleem Awwad’s social media profiles reveal that he is a staunch supporter of Islamic Jihad, having posed with the flag of the jihadist terror group. HonestReporting found at least five photos of Awwad brandishing firearms, including military-style rifles with scopes.
“The credibility of the investigations of Al Jazeera in probing Abu Akleh’s death are questionable now that HonestReporting exposed their chief witness as an active member of a murderous terrorist organization,” HonestReporting executive director Gil Hoffman said.
On December 6, Al Jazeera filed a formal complaint against Israel with the International Criminal Court over the death of Abu Akleh, the Palestinian-American reporter shot on May 11 during a counter-terrorism operation in Jenin.
An IDF probe previously concluded that Abu Akleh may have been mistakenly shot by an Israeli soldier who failed to identify her as a member of the press. After pinpointing every spot where troops had come under fire, the investigation found that they had strictly complied with the IDF’s rules of engagement.
In July, a report issued by the US State Department similarly said that Israeli forces probably fired the deadly shot, but that there was no indication Israelis intentionally killed Abu Akleh.
Nevertheless, Al Jazeera this week announced it contacted ICC prosecutor Karim Khan in the wake of “new evidence” it uncovered “based on several eyewitness accounts.” Without presenting proof, the Qatar-run broadcaster argued that their correspondent was somehow “targeted” as part of a campaign by “Israeli Occupation Forces [sic]… to silence Al Jazeera.”
The network’s submission under article 15 of the Rome Statute, the founding treaty of the ICC, followed just days after the airing of “The Killing of Shireen Abu Akleh,” a 40-minute documentary produced by Al Jazeera’s Fault Lines series, which set the stage for Israeli soldiers to be prosecuted in The Hague.
Al Jazeera’s insistence that Israeli security forces deliberately murdered a journalist relies on sources cited in the Fault Lines segment, which relies on claims made by the anti-Israel collective Forensic Architecture, as well as the terror-linked Al-Haq.- ↑ Palestinian Journalist Stripped Of Award For Pro-Hitler Remarks, i24 News, Oct 19, 2022.

In 2014, Hammad posted a comment on Facebook that said “Me and Hitler are friends. We have influence over each other and share the same ideology, such as the extermination of the Jews.”

On Wednesday, the Jewish Chronicle reported that Jacki Alexander, CEO of HonestReporting, a pro-Israel advocacy and media watchdog group, maintained that rescinding the honor given to Hammad "is not about denying a Palestinian journalist an award."
"This is about relegating unrepentant antisemites to the fringes of society and not rewarding them with international recognition,” she continued. “Antisemitism is on the rise globally, and Shatha Hammad’s language only serves to incite more violence against Jews." Hammad, the Jewish Chronicle continued, was also removed from an upcoming panel scheduled to be moderated by Christiane Amanpour at the Thomas Reuters Trust Conference in London on October 26 and 27.
In August, The New York Times terminated its relationship with a Gaza City “fixer” who has a social media history that includes a post that said, “I don’t accept a Jew, Israeli or Zionist, or anyone else who speaks Hebrew.” The Times also terminated its relationship with a freelance photographer who had expressed support for Palestinian terrorism.- ↑ Al Jazeera, Oct 19, 2022:
