Qatari news network Al Jazeera is stridently denying any link to Gaza-based journalist Abdallah Aljamal, amid unverified rumors that hostage Noa Argamani had been held at his home in central Gaza’s Nuseirat.
According to various rumors, some of which have been picked up by Hebrew-language media with varying levels of credulity, Argamani was held at the home of Dr. Ahmed Aljamal and his son Abdallah. They also claim that Abdallah is an employee of Al-Jazeera.
Please stop flagging this thread as misinformation. Whether or not you believe that the Al Jazeera journalist had any responsibility here, the article is about them denying it.
That is not misinformation. They do deny it.
This is the articles source

How is it not?
Because Al Jazeera denies it. That is a fact. If you’re saying that the Times is claiming Al Jazeera denies a rumor the Times started themselves, it does not make it any less factual that Al Jazeera denies it. And the article is about Al Jazeera denying it.
It’s impossible! Because that would mean that Hamas is hiding among civilians, effectively using them civilians as shields…
Nobody is saying Hamas isn’t using civilians as human shields, they’re just saying that it doesn’t justify bombing civilians…

Don’t let terrorists live in your home. Leave if you have to.
I’m sure that would have been very easy for the well over 10,000 children who have been killed. Especially the babies.
I have said this multiple times and I will continue to say it- if you have to kill thousands of children in the name of protecting your nation, maybe your nation isn’t worth protecting.
if you have to kill thousands of children in the name of protecting your nation, maybe your nation isn’t worth protecting.
Ironically, nearly every major nation in existence has done this at some point in their history. The world is a fucked up place.
Non-ironically, maybe they aren’t worth protecting either.
On one hand I can sympathize with that sentiment, on the other hand, I can’t imagine the horrors that would have occurred if the Axis powers had been allowed to conquer the world.
The Axis Powers that were also killing lots of children and thus not worth protecting?
How many terrorists have to be at the table? Itamar Ben-Gvir is a convicted terrorist. Should the cabinet adjourn every time a Kehanist or two shows up? Or does it require a 5/6 ratio before guilt by association kicks in?
If you have one nazi…
Going along with this thought…
Does the setting matter?
Like if I allow or invite one terrorist to live with me, is that the same as regularly attending a governmental meeting with one?
Hamas isn’t using civilians as human shields. At least, not at scale. Israel and its western co-conspirators manufacture evidence to use to justify the genocide, but none of that evidence is concrete. It’s just intelligence people making baseless claims.
Unless you define “human shields” as “another person within a quarter mile”.

Thanks for this, I’ve kind of stepped away from the news cycle as of recent to focus on school, etc. I genuinely was not aware of this.

Perfect example of how suspect MBFC is.
Times of Israel has such immense bias in favor of the IDF and the fascist apartheid regime, and such lax fact checking on the one subject people outside Israel read it for that it’s not AT ALL credible and MBFC, being basically the hobby of a conservative Zionist, rates it left of center and highly factual 🤦
Eta examples from the “detailed report”:
minimally loaded language such as this: US envoy suggests world should rethink PA aid after Israeli teen killed by bomb.
Failed Fact Checks
None in the Last 5 years
Both examples of absolutely atrocious levels of bias on the part of MBFC.
Fox news only being mixed rating is another big reason
Fox News has a mixed score for factual reporting…
But a “Low Credibility Rating”
Low Credibility Rating
For the made up rating mbfc makes then puts no reasoning in their actual post.
MBFC tries to make itself credible then does shit like that where makes it fit what they want. like ranking higher pro Zionist publications

The bias is strong in the case of TOI. This is extreme bordering on !nottheonion@lemmy.world territory.
And still MBFC rates them center right rather than far right and the factuality “mixed” rather than “low” or “very low”.
Al Jazeera journalist was terrorist who held hostages
My favorite is the only source listed in every article is just IDF, totally credible
It’s all relative. Want to see something from a further right Israeli source?
