There was no immediate comment from the channel headquarters. But several Al Jazeera correspondents went on air to give their understanding on how the decision would affect the channel.
When people recognize they were wrong about something, as smugly satisfying as it may be it’s not actually helpful to tell them that they should have been correct sooner.
I don’t think it’s about being smug. It’s about pointing out the important fact that none of this is new except the scale. Divide by 100-1000 and this is just daily life in Palestine.
No; they just arrest activists and journalists (sometimes but not always have their lackies at the PA do it). Actually shuttering a newspaper is a first AFAIK.
Israel has lost all of my respect in the last year
They should never have had your respect in the first place…

So Israel’s been shutting down other newspapers before?

Is that the line? Everything before was fine, but this is what caused them to lose your respect?
Just give it a break for fuck’s sake jesus christ

You respected Israelis a year ago? Please catch up.
And just like with Russia, my soul bleeds for the people who have nothing to do with this…
At least in Russia the elections were fake
The Kung-Fu is strong
And who would that be? The exactly 1 IDF soldier that refused to fight? Because all Israelis are IDF soldiers.
The children that are not yet IDF
Ask any Israeli you see and they’ll probably tell you…
