If they weren't committing a genocide, then I would agree that THIS is insane, but this is just casual Sunday for current Israel's government.
This puts the Israeli fascists one step closer to the Nazi government from 1933-1945 in Germany
Israel is definitely want to cover up their crimes.
Well obviously Hamas was hiding there /s
I mean did they even condemn Hamas?
They reported on Hamas Attacks in a fairly standard news style when they attacked. Israel has killed at least 25x more civilians then Hamas i would expect slightly different reporting based on that at this stage.

Did any news organization personally condemn the attack? Because their job is to report the news, and they did that. And journalists have more to fear from Israel than Hamas if we are going by numbers. See
I'll go against the grain and say it's fine for Isreal to remove al Jazeera because they are in an ongoing war. It's common to remove certain "news" outlets during war and al Jazeera's coverage of this conflict makes fox news look like a bastion of truth.
Isreal still has access to plenty of new outlets that report negatively on the conflict and scrutinize the government.
Tf is wrong with you? Do you even read Al Jazeera? It has been like the most trustworthy organization covering this genocide.
They're not censoring it for lying, but for telling the truth.
I do read articles from them posted here often. I find them to be extremely bias and quick to report events that have little evidence.
I don't know how you can look at this situation and come away with the opinion that they are being banned for "telling the truth".
A bias against war crimes is a good bias.
Yes that's exactly right. Spot on interpretation.
I find them to be extremely bias
I find you to be extremely illiterate.
Is this one of those "reality has a liberal bias" situations?
No.
