It's the only reasonable thing to do when you are committing genocide.

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.

Suxh copium. Al Jazeera's only problem with you people is that it doesn't toe the Western line.

Didn't Israel support Hamas a bit?

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.

Clearly you don't understand what press freedom means. Israel's actions are the enemy of the free world, not Associated Press or Al Jazeera.

I guess they better shut down the internet as well, since Al Jazeera uses it.

Correct, now you are getting it. Everything Israel is doing is fine and we should all defend it, however please don't watch, comment, critique, record, or witness these totally legal and valid actions.

Otherwise you are behaving like a terrorist.. terrorists watch things, talk about things, mention international laws, they use words and pens, disgusting terrorist activities.

Meanwhile, upright citizens use bombs to tear apart childrens' bodies. And they look the other way when it occurs. Be an upright citizen and stop asking so many god damn inconvenient questions.

There can't be war crims if footage doesn't exist /s
