It was to long(and important) to use AI tldr accurately.
Yeah… according to Al Jazeera every bit of Information issued by Israel has to be viewed sceptically while on the other hand they had no problem at all to publish Informations by a terrorist organization without asking any questions.
If you search somewhat neutral information about the Middle East - this is not the News Outlet for you.
Al Jazeera does do pretty good journalism most of the time, but you absolutely have to understand that they cannot be trusted on anything that touches on the interests of Qatar. If it’s in an unrelated story, they’ll usually do a good job because they want to promote an image of being quality journalists, so that when it comes to issues where they do have an agenda to push, people will trust them.
It’s not wholly different from something like the BBC. They do very good journalism, but you have to have skepticism when it comes to their coverage of domestic British politics (this is a loose analogy, of course; the BBC is a much more legitimate and prestigious organization, but they do have their own bias.)
Now apply that to America and the Washington Post and New York Times.
We Americans do. And we all should.
Both papers lean very heavily on the “My corporate overloads pay me to be their mouthpiece.”
I wouldn’t disagree!
What sources do you use for neutral info about the Middle East?
I would suggest Deutsche Welle or DW
DW (pronounced [deːˈveː]), is a German public, state-owned[1] international broadcaster funded by the German federal tax budget.
How is that any better than Al Jazeera owned by Qatar?
§5(2) DWG:
The broadcasts must enable independent opinion-forming and must not unilaterally support a party or other political association, a religious community, a profession or a community of interests. The moral, religious and ideological convictions of broadcasting participants must be respected.
§5(3)
Reporting shall be comprehensive, truthful and factual, and shall be carried out in the awareness that Deutsche Welle’s broadcasts affect the Federal Republic of Germany’s relations with foreign states. The origin and content of news items intended for publication shall be checked with due care. Commentaries are to be clearly separated from news items and identified as such by naming the author.
Unlike Qatar Germany’s rule of law is somewhat existent, meaning DW would be in violation of this law should they report similarly to Al Jazeera.

so they attacked multiple hospitals but not this one?
They had given the hospital 2 hours to evacuate, naturally people thought they were going to bomb the hospital and freaked out and started calling for humanitarian ceasefire.
Unfortunately, the Islamic Jihad had “misfired” a dumb rocket and it landed in the parking lot a bit early.
Combined with the panic, a probable evacuation, and the official sources of Israel being like "They deserved it.’ People, myself included, had thought Israel had done exactly what they said they were going to do.
Once the fog of war cleared, we understood a few things that were considered lies. The hospital was still standing, there was no hospital crater where an airstrike would have been. And the crater for the shell was only a foot in diameter.
Not only that, they threatened to do so, but hamas miraculously bombed it first.
