>For what it's worth, the hatred being published about Israel does not go the other way around. I, and many others, do respect and have no hate for Palestinians

>For what it's worth, the hatred being published about Israel does not go the other way around. I, and many others, do respect and have no hate for Palestinians. The article does disagree with that view. >As Al Jazeera reported last year, “Inflammatory speech posted in the Hebrew language . . . has attracted much less attention from the Israeli authorities and Facebook. One study found that ‘122,000 users directly called for violence with words like ‘murder’, ‘kill’, or ‘burn.’ Arabs were the No 1 recipients of hateful comments. Yet there appears to be little effort by Facebook to censor any of that.” Have you noticed comments like this? Have you ever seen them deleted or Israeli accounts suspended for hateful language?

  A strict definition sees many governments tarred with this brush, with the US, Russia, UK being stand outs. Others see the terrorists as freedom fighting, and they have some good points. This line of arguing achieves nothing, but that’s the point isn’t it? AJ has some of the best reporting about, but attacking the messenger and not the message is far easier isn’t it?

    AJ threw a birthday part for a terrorist who murdered children: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFWVkSU3ic4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFWVkSU3ic4 > but attacking the messenger They are not a messenger but are full party to praising those who would proudly kill children. I know the US has killed children in conflicts, but the US isn't proud of it, they don't celebrate it. > Others see the terrorists as freedom fighting No. This is false. No one sees terrorists as freedom fighting, except for those who support them. A terrorist is a terrorist. Period. Calling them freedom fighters is utterly repulsive, and whitewashing things like "killing a 4 year old girl by smashing her skull against the rocks with the butt of his rifle." Yes, that is the loathsome creature who AJ celebrated. Tell me how that is freedom fighting? I challenge you - tell me, exactly how that is freedom fighting. I await your answer.

      “I await your answer”. Really? Yes, Palestinians think freedom is worth fighting for. That man didn’t help his cause. This is not related to the issue though is it? AJ cover issues in the region better than many news orgs.

        > Yes, Palestinians think freedom is worth fighting for. And I guess that includes killing 4 year old girls? And that's it? That's your feeble defense? "That man didn’t help his cause." No condemnation, no, "this is not what Palestinian are." But of course you don't, because you can't, because this is the kind of offal Palestinians value. People who kill 4 year olds and rejoice in it. If only this was some sort of one-off, that it was not representative, that it was just "didn't help his cause". But it's not, this is the kind of behavior Palestinians delight in. For example that guy who stabbed a young girl to death in her bed. Did they condemn that, or did they celebrate that? You know the answer very well. > This is not related to the issue though is it? Of course is it. If AJ is going to throw that human excrement a birthday party then that are almost as loathsome as he is. No one should ever read them again, that have removed themself from civilized life. Anything they say should be assumed false unless otherwise proven. > AJ cover issues in the region better than many news orgs. Only if by better you mean "praising and valuing terrorism". If you are a Palestinian that it must suck to know you are by extension part of a group that is this horrible. I know very well not all Palestinians are this bad. Unfortunately the majority are. The fact that you don't condemn, and you even try to defend, them disturbs me though....

        It’s intersting the way you shut down any discussion of Israeli wrongs, but broaden discussion on any opposing views even if off topic (ie story isn’t valid as it’s from AJ). It’s almost as though you have a vested interest in one sides view only. A constructive approach is needed by both sides, not more of the same. You are desperate for a finger pointing fight and seem to be hoping to vilify me for being Palestinian. Why?

    AJ used to have some of the best reporting around. Now, the desires of their owners outweigh accurate reporting.
