At the risk of being downvoted as the parent comment. There were many reports in Israeli media showing their reporters framing a false narrative around the conflict. To be fair, I think that blocking etc. is a dumb move by the government. Even though they are clearly a very biased organization the damage of closing their offices is probably worse than the alternative. The fear mongering of the top parent comment is unjustified and not exactly accurate. I'm physically in Tel Aviv and can access the Al Jazeera website just fine. News outlets can't be closed and there's no "great firewall" in Israel. There is a censor but its usage is relatively limited in the age of the internet. Examples of Al Jazeera bias include a famous video of a Gazan interviewed by a reporter blaming Hamas for everything and the reporter immediately cutting it off so it won't break the narrative that everyone in Gaza blames only Israel. They're the ones that promoted the fake hospital bombing and they are the source of most fake unsubstantiated stories. Their Arabic language channel is far worse than their English coverage. They made up fake stories about IDF soldiers raping in Gaza and obviously didn't report about the actual rapes by Hamas. They refuse to interview people who can actually answer questions legitimately in Arabic such as Yosef Hadad since that would let their audience receive unfiltered truth.

    Not every news source need report on every story. Especially in times of war, it's important to read every side's coverage of both themselves and the other side.

    > Palestinians use rape to terrorizing women's, did al Gezira report it? Replace "Palestinians" with "Jews" in that sentence. It's pretty racist innit? Please be more careful.

    Some choice quotes from your Haarez link: "However, at Shura Base, to which most of the bodies were taken for purposes of identification, there were five forensic pathologists at work. In that capacity, they also examined bodies that arrived completely or partially naked in order to examine the possibility of rape. According to a source knowledgeable about the details, there were no signs on any of those bodies attesting to sexual relations having taken place or of mutilation of genitalia." "200 bodies were documented. These teams did not document a single case of sexual assault or cases of genital mutilation. " "the intelligence material collected by the police and the intelligence bodies, including footage from terrorists' body cameras, does not contain visual documentation of any acts of rape themselves. "

      That is very selective reading of the article ignoring some core facts. Forensic post mortem analysis can't be done on 1,400 bodies most of which were mutilated and many burned. There were just not enough experts available to do that work. There are many testimonies. Including from the rapists themselves. According to Hamas's interpretation of the Quran rape is legitimate as part of Jihad.
