It should not come as a surprise that pro-palestinian paper is considered centre-left at least -- is this astonishing somehow? Would we expect right-wing pro-palestinian media?

80% of victims being children shouldn't really be surprising, given it's a school in a country that's 50% children.

It is not left wing. Only in the west is Palestinian support partisan. In the global south, most definitely in the Arab and Muslim world right, left and center all support Palestine

Aljazeera is funded by the Qatari government. Not left wing at all.

Ah, I assumed the website here had a western slant in its review.

I have no idea what the words you just stringed together mean. Can you rephrase it for someone who English isn't their first language?

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

my apologies.

I meant: I assumed this website considers Al Jazeera leftist because the website has a western perspective.

[–] PanArab@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

The Western perspective [or the website] is stupid because Qatar is a monarchy with a capitalist free-market economy and Islam as its official religion. Ignorance is not an excuse.

Fun fact about Qatar: before Islam it was a center of Christianity and we know of one saint that was born there https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_the_Syrian
