Al Jazeera journalists have provided some of the most detailed and evidence-backed reporting of the conflict and their journalists on the ground are absolutely incredible.

I was watching Al Jazeera to see what they had to say and they called the Hamas terror attack "the Hamas military operation". I have no sympathies for them to say it kindly. Actually the can fuck right off. Deliberately butchering civilians, many among them children is not a military operation. It's a terror attack.
