Much of that I blame on the Al JAzeeras and other Qatari funded outlets and that being said Rania Khalek should have her old job or be a contributor to the EI again. that said EI does great work at scrutunizing all states and their policies towards Israel and faux leftists who jump the shark on Palestine. But on Syria if your opposed to Western imperialism in Palestine or Iraq or Libya, do the same for Syria, Venezuela, Ukraine, Niguaraga and across the board. 2018-07-11T22:40:40Z Comment by Yuri S Al Jazeera is living proof once more you can't have state run media and be totally independent plain and simple, we need a model of indie media not beholden to ANY state, corporations/sponsors, and insincere wealthy donors be it Pierre Omydiar or George Soros and Patrick Lannon, Park or Ford Foundation. 2018-07-11T22:19:05Z Comment by Yuri S wow from one apartheid regime complimenting another, shameful, shameful, shameful. 2018-07-11T21:51:52Z
