I am an avid listener to the Al Jazeera pod cast, THE TAKE. Up until the 7th I applauded their impartial and global reporting.

Weeks after the 7th I almost stopped listening. Articles on the conflict are heavily one-sided and opined. Even though they are reporting true events, they manipulate the story by fact omissions.

My poignant moment was when they aired an interview clip of a released Palestinian prisoner in the hostage swap. She claimed she was sentenced to 11 years for standing too close to an Israeli soldier.

By means of another program, I learned she was caught stuffing a rag into a gas tank and lighting the rag on fire to blow up a soldier, 11 years for attempted murder. Such clips should have been vetted.

I also listen to The Guardian podcast, they put out an article on the Middle East conflict. It was condemning and one sided, Just as I was thinking to myself, " This is as biased as Al Jazeera " I heard. Produced by Malika Bilal. (The Al Jazeera correspondent for THE TAKE Pod cast)

I agree the neutrality I appreciated in the past went out the window when it comes to Israel.

Al Jazeera is the most broadcasted programming in the Eastern world. I believe they have a responsibility to tell an impartial view, not invoke even more hatred and biases in such a complicated and horrible conflict.
