I'll start this one with a few examples, for anybody who believes that Al Jazeera's reporting of the events in the middle east is "unbiased".
Three of the four hostages rescued by Israeli special forces from Gaza in June were held at the home of Abdallah Aljamal, a Palestinian journalist and member of Hamas who contributed to Al Jazeera.
Al Jazeera anchorman Jamal Rayyan, one of the network’s most prominent figureheads, celebrates the first anniversary of the savage October 7 Hamas attack on Israel with a series of posts hailing the “resistance” and calling on Arab countries to support it, even if “secretly.”
Rayyan, who has 2.3 million followers on X and lives in Doha, pins on his X account an image of rockets resembling fireworks flying out of the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, with a shining number 7 in the middle.
“This is the day that restored the nation’s dignity and prestige,” Rayyan writes in the caption.
In a number of other posts he publishes on the first anniversary of the massacre by Hamas, he lashes out at Arab countries that support Israel, calling them “Arab Zionists,” and urges them “not to bet on the victory of the Zionist entity,” to reconsider their calculations and “secretly support the resistance.”
Sanaa El-Younoussi, Middle East editor for Al-Jazeera in English, retweeted a post that she first posted on October 7, 2023. She also added a video, and wrote, "If only all days could taste like that day."

These are just some very recent examples. I'm not sure why anyone would honestly believe that Al Jazeera is "unbiased" in it's coverage of the middle east when it is owned by the deeply anti semitic and homophobic Qatari state, a country where the leaders of Hamas live in absolute luxury.
