There was no immediate comment from the channel headquarters. But several Al Jazeera correspondents went on air to give their understanding on how the decision would affect the channel.

    You know you are on the right side of history when you censor Journalism.

        About as good as any other definition of the word. I feel we are a term or two away from Idiocracy .

          We disagree in that I feel we’ve been there for a couple or few decades.

          In the U.K. we have declared ourselves tired of experts.

      To be fair both the US and the EU did ban Russian journalists, so it seems hypocritical to judge Israel here.

          I’m against censorship in any ways, just seems hypocritical to judge Israel here when everyone does it.

            The US and EU have no room to judge Israel, that’s true.

            I sure as fuck can judge them, though, and I do and so should you.

          “They” censor “our” view: BAD! “We” censor “their” view: sure, thats fine?

          You know propaganda works both ways right? It’s maybe different extends, but i still believe dude is right and censorship is not the right way to go.

          Somehow ensuring factual news would be amazing, but that would need to count for fucking everyonem…oh well one can dream…

            Try reading what I said again because you clearly misunderstood it.
