This source seems extremely biased.
And the Atlantic is run by an IDF soldier, who held Palestinians captive during the first antifada. Don’t seem to see the same accusations of bias.
From what i have read, it was a freelancer dude who wrote 1 article for Al Jazeera, 5+ years ago. I dont know why there is this need to make everything so biased/black and white.
AbdullahAl Jamal worked for Al Jazeera and published almost daily articles in English in the “Palestine Chronicle” since the beginning of the war. From the linked article.
Meanwhile Al Jazeera says that the guy only contributed on a single op-ed in 2019 and that’s the extent of it. Here is an archive link to their response https://archive.is/EDOCN. Not only that, but ynet seems to have cut out the part where Al Jazeera says that the guy contributed only on an op-ed in 2019.
Checking an archive from the 9th of June of Al Jazeera’s website seems to confirm this information: https://archive.is/RypQP
So, even if this guy had kidnapped/held a hostage, I don’t see the connection to Al Jazeera. Certainly not the connection that this article is trying to paint here. And don’t forget that the IDF hasn’t even confirmed if this guy even held any hostages.
I personally call bullshit. Either that or ynet are too incompetent to prove their claims that this guy wrote for Al Jazeera every day.
Or the title has been written like that on purpose to confuse people and conflate Al Jazeera with whatever this guy was writing god knows where else.
Comma horror

The Islamist propaganda tool actually has members holding hostages…yeesh. Al Jazeera really has fallen all the way.
Whether true or not, I don’t know.
I DO know, however, that humans are not institution-puppets without any internal-motivations.
IF they did do so, THEN that doesn’t mean Al Jazeera was in any way complicit.
Apparently there’s some problem at The Washington Post, now, with the guy in charge of the news-room having participated in a crime, & now is ejecting people who have journalistic-standards…
Does that mean they all are guilty of what he did?
How could it?
We’re in an age where considered-reasoning is being displaced by dogwhistle ideology/prejudice, & it’s required for humankind’s survival, that we get competent in journalism’s methodical & careful discernment.
All of us.
Our kind’s life IS at stake, this century.

Yep, and al jazeera is nothing but a propaganda machine. This isn’t the first time they’ve been caught with their hand in the cookie jar
