    So far a lot of the news coverage on here about the israel-palestine conflict is from aljazeera. Why is that?

      I would imagine because in the west there is a ton of pressure to side with Israel no matter what, to the point people are losing their jobs for showing any support for Palestine or being critical of Israels actions.

        Thanks for the information. I know this conflict has been one of the most controversial and politically confusing wars ever. I guess it’s hard for people at large news sites to write about it.

      And I’ve noticed their before and after photos show a before of the suburbs and any after photos showing the city. Cheap tricks. Not that I doubt the main message, but it cheapens the integrity.

      Because Lemmy is just as hell-bent on making Israel look like the only bad guy in that conflict as Aljazeera is.
