Your statement doesn’t make a ton of sense. Qatar is attempting to mediate this conflict. I suppose if one saw mediation as detrimental to wiping gaza off the map, and one had no issues with a supposedly democratic government making illegal press sources it doesn’t like, then your statement makes more sense.

> Qatar is attempting to mediate this conflict

It’s fair to say it’s unclear what Qatar’s motives are, given their recent sympathy for Iran. (Which, given their geographic situation, makes sense.)

I don’t agree with shutting down Al Jazeera. But Qatar seems to benefit from ongoing conflict as it elevates their profile in the region.

Freedom of speech as long as it’s speech I like

Very American.

Oh absolutely! It is absolutely not the fact that Al-jazeera coverage has made it hard for America and Israel to deny the ongoing genocide and the abundant war crimes happening constantly.

Yea I only trust information coming from the IDF on this one
