Analysis
Until 1989, the Jerusalem Post’s political leaning was left-leaning as it supported the ruling Labor Party. After Conrad Black acquired the paper, its political position changed to right-leaning, when Black began hiring conservative journalists and editors. Eli Azur is the current owner of Jerusalem Post. According to Ynetnews, and a Haaretz article, “Benjamin Netanyahu, the Editor in Chief,” in 2017, Azur gave testimony regarding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s pressure. Current Editor Yaakov Katz was the former senior policy advisor to Naftali Bennett, the former Prime Minister and head of the far-right political party, “New Right.”
I have severe doubts that Al Jazeera would post this kind of story. And with this kind of evidence from IDF, I do think it means that there’s reason to discredit Al Jazeera as well.
Welcome to war. The first casualty is truth as they always say.
I have a less credible source, if that, uh, helps you. Scroll down for more claims with accompanying evidence, but as someone who doesn’t know Arabic or what the leaders of Hamas look like, I honestly had no idea what I was looking at.
Do you have another source for this? I’m not familiar with jpost.
Edit:
MBFC says the following about jpost.
High Credibility but also Bibi’s mouthpiece…

I didn’t mean AJ, I was looking for something like AP or Reuters.
True, but that’s just another reason to remain skeptical and vigilant about checking the validity of claims.
Especially when IDF is trying so hard to kill it
You misspelled Hamas…but you know, it doesn’t really make a difference.
Nope. Both are utter bastards and liars
Yep, 100%

Over a hundred to date, and that’s only this year. Every year we get stories of Israeli snipers targeting journalists etc.
Israel sided, but no more so than Middle East Eye is anti-isralei… which somehow gets hundreds of upvotes. Credible, factual, but biased.
People ask for evidence, evidence provided, evidence downvoted.
I would consider this a bit of info in a sea of propaganda campaigns and bot vote manipulation - don’t take it as gospel, but an insight.
Do you think anyone would spend time on bot manipulation on a platform as small as Lemmy?
Absolutely I do

Thanks, but I can neither speak Arabic nor recognize any of the people on the pictures too.
