They were warned repeatedly not to give Al Jazeera access to this footage, yet they refused. No army in the world wants live footage of their troops being broadcast - and especially not shared with a network that belongs to a hostile nation, one that directly supports Hamas and houses their leadership.

Al Jazeera is just as much an enemy of the free world as RT is. They are not press. Real journalists should distance themselves as much from this propaganda outlet as possible instead of working with them.

Just because a news agency covers topics containing truths that you don't want to admit as true, does not mean that they are not journalists. Al Jazeera is not an enemy of the free world, but Israel certainly is.
