the deputy mayor of Jerusalem, Arieh King, is recorded addressing a physically disabled Palestinian man. “Did they take the bullet out of your a*?” he says, standing next to far-right Israeli member of Knesset Itamar Ben Gvir. “It’s a pity it didn’t go in here,” he adds, pointing to his forehead.

Wow.


In Palestine, it is always a two-sided thing.

Al Jazeera is an anti-non-Muslim news media which shares everything happening against Muslims, and when the Muslims are the perpetrators, they are silent.

And even when non-Muslims strike back on something started by the other side, they run to cover that.

In some places innocent Muslims are persecuted and the party at fault should be exposed by media. And "stricking back" is not civilized and I do not condone it. Even after all these, I honestly believe that Al Jazeera seriously lacks honesty and transparency.


Yeah Aljazeera does lack honesty indeed. but is it the point now? you know what's that called, it's called gaslighting. stop it.

yeah striking back is not civilized by did you consider their options?

maybe take a trip, live their, see what civilised options they have.

having enough nukes to wipe out the planet is civilised I assume?

killing children taking land committing war crimes, all these are civilised actions when taken against non-anglo people right? wiping out entire races to build democracy, pretty much, civilised. always has been.


I was surprised by the Israeli media sharing a video of young Israelis attacking Palestinians where they censor the faces of the perpetrators but not the victims.

Small thing but clearly shows a bias.


small but not the only thing and showing people how much power a small minority of people have, having a non evangelical religion, a lot of closed doors and supposed to be charities while committing unhuman actions and whatnot is quite fine though. nothing to worry about.


Gentrification happens everywhere in the world, but here the side that lost in the court, trying to present it as an ethnic cleansing and apartheid, all while provoking riots, stone throwing and lynching of Jews, under the pretext of protecting their religion.

There are reports that this TikTok Intifada was planned and prepared long in advance by FATEH and HAMAS. It's a scapegoat for canceling election in the PA, and designed to set tone for Durban Anti-Apartheid Conference.

The goal is to provoke the Israeli police to kill rioters, to make their job at Durban easier.


HN silence is hypocritical, where the voice once defend george floyd??


Ouch. If this was Uyghurs in Xinjiang or terrorists in HK, you'd all be out here, HN commentariat and Western media both, with your crocodile tears, lack of nuance, ignorant bias, unrestrained outrage. The silence in this case is deafening....
