  1. Al Jazeera isn’t a terrorist organization. There have been no substantiated reports of Hamas being located in that building. This was simply an attack to limit news from being reported from the Palestinian viewpoint.

    1. @soulful41 “Intelligence” doesn’t always mean substantiated proof. It could be anything from Pictures of hamas members at the building, to anonymous (and perhaps outright inaccurate) tips. Until the public knows what this “intelligence” contains, arguing over what might or might not be in it is pointless. The offending government says they have proof, but what else do you expect them to say? “Ye, we blew up that press filled building just to be thorough. deal with it.”

  2. I’m glad to see this story. There’s been so little reporting on this. I saw the reporters digging computers out of the rubble. There was a lot of wiring, too. this is going to take a lot of work to get back up and running. Meanwhile, there is a DELAY. This is to make people forget the original incident, which was Israel cutting off the speakers at the mosque, thus cutting into their prayers, then bear-spraying the people praying. They hope that during this time, new images will supplant the old. They’re throwing out lies faster than they can be debunked.

    1. Copy and paste the sentence “If I don’t steal your house, someone else will” under related videos as a form of simple protest, and like this sentence whenever you come across it, such that most of the top comments will be this one sentence in quotes in various comment sections. It will create an eye-catching spectacle for everyone visiting these videos and seeing all these comment sections filled with this one sentence. People have been able to pull it off in some NBC News videos so far.

      Start by visiting all the recent uploads from major news outlets: CNN, DW, France24, ABC, Guardian, RT, CBS, etc. Select “Last Hour” in the filter, as your comment will likely disappear in the comment section of older (more than 1 day old) videos.

      Try your best to copy-paste the sentence under 10 different “Last Hour” videos and like 20 other comments in a given video that commented the said sentence.

      Finally, do “occasionally” copy and paste this comment under various videos to keep people focused and motivated.

    2. Thousands upon thousands live in that area she’s talking about. 6 families were relocated Because of a years long dispute ending in the courts. This is what we’re talking about. But don’t rely on the mainstream media to tell it like it is.

      Home demolitions happen ONLY to the perpetrators of terrorist activity. It is used as a deterrent, and you better believe it works.

      Rashida Tlaib? She’s just lying. Hamas staged an attack/riot at the al Aqsa mosque. Like cowards they hide behind worshipers to stage their attacks. This is nothing new. It is incumbent on Israeli police to keep the peace and quell the violence. The fault, as usual… Is Hamas’.

      She knows full well that Israel uses missiles to protect its civilians while Hamas uses CIVILIANS to PROTECT THEIR missile silos.

      SHE’S an apologist for Hamas and a LIAR. do not be fooled by her.

    3. @TheVoiceOf Reason You are a liar. The courts are about stealing land. If the law says you being alive is illegal does that mean you should just die to satisfy the law? THAT is the position you’re taking here.

  3. Senator Tom Cotton is playing at being a hate puppet to hide his corruption (again). It ain’t working.

    1. I don’t live in Oklahoma, I haven’t heard about the corruption. Just the idiocy. I mean, the guy is DUMB. Even for an Okie.

  4. If fox headquarters was attacked, at least they wouldn’t have to worry about losing any important news documents. 🙄😅😂

  5. Cotton’s argument makes absolutely no sense. If they were indeed serving as “human shields,” as Cotton suggests, then it obviously didn’t work (and was never going to). The building is now in a heap of rubble and everyone who lived and worked in it is displaced to the street.

    1. It not that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is only a care taker Prime Minister. He has less then 30 days until no longer a Primer Minister, after that he could face prison time. So he making the situation as bad as possible.

  6. You don’t need to be Muslim or Palestinian to stand up for Gaza, you just need to be *HUMAN 🇵🇸.*

    1. @salah aezah stop your lie. No Christian fight or go against Israel…I don’t agree with everything Israel does
      All Muslims are against Israel. So Christian must take sides with Israel

    2. Musleems brotherhood exist only for musleems. You do not support when Christans are killed. Hmm.

  7. “The Press: With all his perseverance and dexterity he seizes possession of it. With it he slowly begins to grip and ensnare, to guide and push all public life, since he is in a position to create and direct that power which, under the name ‘public opinion,’ is better known today than a few decades ago.
    In this he always represents himself personally as having an infinite thirst for knowledge, praises all progress, mostly, to be sure, the progress that leads to the ruin of others; for he judges all knowledge and all development only according to its possibilities for advancing his nation, and where this is lacking, he is the inexorable mortal enemy of all light, a hater of all true culture. He uses all the knowledge he acquires in the schools of other peoples, exclusively for the benefit of his race.” A. Hitler, 1924, Mein Kampf, pp. 315.

  8. It sounds like the press weren’t warned about the incoming attack. The buildings neighbours were and warned the press.

    1. Agreed. Hamas rockets oppressing the Israeli population (and murdering their own people with many dud rockets). Hamas should prepare for the own decimation.

    1. “From the river to the sea palastine will be free” every Pal rally and supporter. Meaning completely eliminating the state of Israel from the map. Your one fake statement vs millions proclaiming the complete elimination of Israel. Shove it.
