Israel is following the Nazi Germany playbook rather closely, isn't it?

Thanks Israel! Now I know which news network still deliver unbiased news.
Dude Al Jazeera's fuckin fantastic
It is quite literally the only news I'm aware of which is (1) fairly big and professional, competent (2) not automatically pro-Western on everything (3) not run by some government, and filled with stories about how that government's great and any bad stories about it are evil lies
While not run by the government, the Al Jazeera Media Network is partially funded by the government of Qatar. I don’t think this is a negative, but something people should be aware of.
Yeah fair enough. If you want to know shady things about Jared Kushner (edit: or good things about Israel), they're probably not gonna say a god damned word.
Even aside from potential or actual bias, there's a pretty wide gap between bias and the incitement that the Israeli government is accusing Al Jazeera of. I don't have to fully endorse the entirety of Al Jazeera's coverage to think that shutting them down and criminalizing them is a pretty huge overreach.
For those looking to better understand the biases of any given media outlet, this is a good place to drop a recommendation for Citations Needed podcast with Adam Johnson and Nima Shiraz.
It's a great media analysis and criticism show. Who watches the watchers? These fuckin guys!
They are the remnants of BBC Middle East, hence que quality. They are, however, funded by the government of Qatar, and you won’t see that country being cast in unfavorable light in their articles. But other than that, they’re great.
They are the remnants of BBC Middle East,
Remnants? What happened to them?
A really good article about it. TLDR: BBC decided to close it. But do read the article, it shows why Qatar decided to fund it, and it's really interesting.
(3*) [unless for some weird reason you want news about Qatar]
There's several others. Even Israeli news outlet 972 is killing it
I hope Yuval Abraham wins a Pulitzer for the report on Lavendar and other AI systems driving the genocide
Since they can't bomb that one, guess they'll stick to the other gestapo tricks

Israel has ordered the closure of Al Jazeera in the country, a move the Qatar-based news network called a “criminal act.”
Video obtained by CNN showed Israeli police accompanied by agents of the Israel Security Agency entering Al Jazeera’s broadcasting position in Jerusalem on Sunday.
Al Jazeera condemned the Israeli cabinet’s decision as a “criminal act,” which it said infringes on the human right to access information.
It continued: “Israel’s suppression of the free press to cover up its crimes by killing and arresting journalists did not deter us from performing our duty.
The move comes a month after Netanyahu vowed to shut down the television channel in the country following the passage of a sweeping law allowing the government to ban foreign networks perceived as posing a threat to national security.
In response, Al Jazeera – which has been producing on the ground reporting of Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza – slammed the decision and vowed to continue its “bold and professional coverage.”
