You don’t think I checked it already. Mediabiasfactcheck labels it anti-Semitic, when it was literally founded by two Jews. Source. Stop dismissing sources just because you don’t like the facts they’re reporting. I like to believe people have media literacy, and can check sources themselves. They don’t need your “help.”

  1. Mediabiasfactcheck exists in a capitalist/corporate system. It is in their interest to not rock the boat or they get censored. Source

  2. Since you made the claim, the burden of proof is on you to find another source you deem acceptable.

It’s interesting that this fact check website heavily leans on what the ADL says. The ADL is highly problematic, and definitely biased against anything pro-Palestinian, so not sure what to make of this report.

I linked the wiki for the news site. It was founded by Pro-Palestinian Jews (Yes, they exist). All news is biased. You can decide for yourself if it’s factual.

Yeah, reading through the ADL reasoning, one of the articles they use to justify its accusation that Mondoweiss is antisemitic is actually discussing how ultra rightwing and ultra religious some of the recently elected candidates are, and to whom Netanyahu was trying to work closely with.

“Another story, Yes ‘Jewish Power’ party is fascistic, but its rise was inevitable is also very negative toward Israeli Jews.”

So an article discussing the election of 6 problematically hard right, ultra religios, Israeli Zionists, and their histories, beliefs and background, in ADL’s eyes is a negative anti-semitic article on all Israelis Jews?

That’s a very long bow to stretch.

This tautology allows accusations of antisemitism to be weaponized, particularly against people who speak up about Palestinian rights — sometimes in ridiculous ways. Source

Oh come off it. You’re all up and down these posts repeating lies about Hamas using human shields or how driving the civilians out of their homes in mass does not constitute ethnic cleansing.

Btw here’s the actual definition of “ethnic cleansing”

the mass expulsion or killing of members of an unwanted ethnic or religious group in a society.

You argued with me that it’s totally legit that the IDF isn’t letting journalists verify footage of supposed Hamas atrocities but the IDF is cool with showing that footage to journalists in a private setting where they’re not allowed to record anything.

You whine constantly that Al Jazeera isn’t legitimate but you haven’t posted a single source to debunk any of their reporting.

Post some sources of your own or sit down

We didn’t argue that

Israel has already been caught lying about Oct 7th. I was pointing out that not releasing the video or allowing it to be recorded means that no one can verify if the footage is legit. You keep insisting “they reviewed it”. I don’t know what you think you were arguing but you were in fact arguing that it is fine that Israel is not allowing journalists to verify evidence (or that a 3rd party had actually already verified it).

Screenshots I'm hiding in a spoiler because they are large

What you were mad about is not being able to watch the deaths yourself

I made a dumb joke about the snyder cut and you interpreted it in the least charitable way insisting that I personally want to watch the footage to celebrate. Don’t be an asshole

Is it anti Semetic for Palestinians to have the right to self determination? Asking seriously.

I don’t see the correlation so I don’t understand the quiestion. Are Palestinians not allowed to self determine themselves in their Gaza strip without ideology that would affect basic humans rights of others aside from Hammas influence? Please elaborate.

Just like the Jewish people have the right to “self determination”, do Palestinians as a nation have the same right to self determination?

Whatever their post history is, I honestly don’t care. Israel killed a journalist’s family and that’s a cold fact.

Not to say it’s not true- but I’d wait a few days till we have more info before saying it absolutely did happen- see the hospital or church bombings for example.

Serious question: What are the chances that the family is being targeted versus just being in a building they happened to bomb along with so many others? The article doesn’t address that, and it’s hard for me to believe that Israel would even know where this guy’s family was. I would think if their intelligence was that good, then they should be able to locate some of the hostages, right? Just for context, I think both sides suck and don’t care to hear any vitriol from either side. I’m really only interested in discussing if there is any evidence this was a targeted attack vs happenstance.

I think it’s a very fair question. I find it hard to believe they bombed a building/area for a single journalist’s family. Especially if the family was in the area that Israel said to evacuate, which would raise questions on why the reporter thought leaving his family in an area explicitly labeled as dangerous was a good idea…

Pretty much zero. Also last thing Israel needs is another bad publicity ATM when the war crime accusation is hanging in the air. They would have to be plain dumps and geniuses at the same time. The guy will now report 10x more things against Israel then before and all media around the world will copy paste this article without veryficatiom to get readers. Shocking news are best for making money after all.

i think the implication is not that the reporter’s family was targeted, but that israel is not taking civilian casualties serious.

The embarassing part here is Blinken telling a news agency to tone down their coverage, even though the families of employees are being murdered.

yes, Blinken made his comment before the family died. That shouldn’t really change how fucked up this is.

I think most of the folks posting here read it as fact that Israel specifically targeted this guy family to scare others for reporting against Israel. It’s like “see!?, I told’ya !”

Did you even open the article? Just read the first paragraph.

Today, Al-Jazeera Bureau Chief Wael El-Dahdouh was reporting live in Gaza when an Israeli airstrike killed his wife and two children. Now, other journalists also fear their families could be targeted solely for them doing their job.

They have the right to defend themselves against the families of journalists… I guess? Super dangerous people, especially the little kids of course.
