Al-Jazeera, and its masters in Qatar, don't want a better future for Gaza. They want a Hamas future for Gaza. Al-Jazeera won't cover Gazans' protests - or if they do, the coverage pretends the protests are just "anti-war," without mentioning that they're explicitly and bitterly anti-Hamas.

On the same day that courageous Palestinians took to the streets—risking their lives under relentless Israeli bombardment, starvation, and Hamas’s bullets—to demand an end to the war and to Hamas’s rule, Al Jazeera made its editorial choice. They didn’t cover the protests. Didn’t interview the voices shouting for freedom. Instead, they went filming inside Hamas’s tunnels—where no civilian has ever been allowed to shelter—only those rats who turned Gaza into a battlefield for their power. Apparently, it’s easier to navigate Hamas’s tunnels than to look a grieving mother in the eye. And far safer to follow armed men underground than to hear the people demanding they leave.
