Remember the outrage when Israel banned Al Jazeera? This week, Fatah—the Palestinian party governing the West Bank—followed suit, barring the Qatari-owned network from operating in the territory. The decision came after clashes in the Jenin refugee camp between the Palestinian Authority and the terrorist groups Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. True to form, Al Jazeera’s coverage was openly biased in favor of Hamas and the PIJ—so much so that even Fatah decided to ban it. By the way, Al Jazeera is also banned in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Bahrain, and Egypt. But it’s only an issue when Israel does it, right?
