Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Aljazeera has been very factual in the conflict. Probably the most factual out of any English-speaking news source since all the others are too afraid to call out real genocide and terrorism and their articles are clouded with double standard wording.

Get out of here with your "both sides" nonsense.

It should be noted that there is Al-Jazeera English, which is credible and good, and then Al-Jazeera which... well, isn't so much. They are two different companies run by two different sets of people, basically. They do not run the same articles generally. Similarly, American mainstream media reporting is generally pretty accurate about stuff in other parts of the world (when it's not a war article) but when reporting about things here it can get murky.
