I've never watched AlJazeera. It appears that we should all be doing that since our MSM isn't reliable these days.

Always consider the source, question it, sure, but at least look.

8. As opposed to any old Royals

Like Rupert Murdoch, News Corp; Yosaji Kobayashi, Yomiuri Shinbun; Robert Maxwell (father of Jeffrey Epstein's recruiter, Ghislaine Maxwell), Maxwell Communications.

Small world, but you wouldn't know about the nefarious connections between the rich players by reading their publications.

18. Don't you ever get tired of one-line excuses?

The IDF has already admitted to killing Palestinians at food sites, so your denial of the truth, while constant, is unfounded.

If Israel wanted the truth reported, they wouldn't bar journalists from entering Gaza and kill those who do go there.

7. Why do Haifa and Tel Aviv residents need to leave?

Oh, because Iran is shooting advanced missles at CIVILIANS.

al Jazeera:

What we do know is that Iran is believed to have the largest missile programme in the Middle East, with thousands of ballistic missiles available with varying ranges and speeds. At the current rate, Iran could likely carry on attacking Israel (CIVILIANS) for weeks – enough time for Israel to experience significant damage, which its population is not used to after years of only really being exposed to attacks from weaker armed groups in the Gaza Strip, Lebanon and Yemen.

Iran is also revealing how effective its more advanced missiles can be. The Haj Qassem missile, used for the first time against Israel (CIVILIANS) on Sunday, was able to evade Israeli air defences, and footage from Israel clearly shows the difference in power and speed compared to the older missiles that Iran had been using in its earlier barrages.

For almost 2 years in Gaza and now Israel has attacked iran and doesn’t like how they fight back?

14. Israel doesn't attack civilians on purpose.

They even provide advance warning when possible.

Best estimates are a 1:1 civilian to combatant ratio which is pretty great frankly, considering Hamas likes to hide behind women and children.

16. This is obviously a missle site in the middle of an Israel city.

Right next to huge civilian buildings.
Is that hiding behind women and children?

19. Israel targets people at food distributions sites and targets small children

They bomb residential buildings to oblivions, so that few are even left. Claiming they don't target civilians is pure propaganda, and false.

11. "Breaking Points" with Crystal Ball & Saagar

In-depth coverage on Iraq. I listen for free thru Spotify. They said yesterday was their largest audience ever. Podcasts are over a hr so you get lots of news.

I also like Al Aljazeera - I won’t pay for Haaretz - but without paying you can get their continual headline updates which are interesting.
