In the aftermath of the October 7 attacks on Israel, the significant role played by the media network Al Jazeera cannot be overlooked.
As an arm of the Qatari regime, which harbors and supports Hamas, the group responsible for the deadliest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, Al Jazeera has been instrumental in promoting Islamist terror worldwide.
A recent report by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), authored by Yigal Carmon, highlights how the Qatari-owned media empire actively promotes terrorism.
The cooperation between Hamas and Al Jazeera was starkly evident in their coverage of the October 7 attacks. The network aired "exclusive" footage of the attacks, obtained directly from Hamas.
Al Jazeera's reporter abandoned any pretense of neutrality, celebrating the collapse of Israeli defenses and the perceived weakening of the occupation army.
Despite regulations prohibiting press credentials for individuals acting as agents of foreign governments, Al Jazeera retains access to institutions like the United States House of Representatives.
In 2020, the U.S. Department of Justice required Al Jazeera to register as a foreign agent under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) due to its undermining of U.S. interests in the region and its support for extremist groups.
Since October 7, Al Jazeera has acted as a mouthpiece for Hamas, airing official military announcements and threats from the terrorist group regularly.
This support extends beyond propaganda, with Al Jazeera journalist Mohamed Washah being identified as a prominent Hamas commander, involved in the group's military activities.
The network's dangerous influence extends globally, as evidenced by its use in conducting surveillance operations against Jewish communities supporting U.S.-Israel relations.
Despite being recognized by Arab allies as a propaganda tool for terrorism, Al Jazeera maintains an unwarranted reputation for objectivity in the West.
Members of Congress, including Rep. Jack Bergman, have raised concerns about Al Jazeera's role in promoting terrorism and spreading anti-Semitism.
The network's coverage of the October 7 attacks and its support for Hamas highlight the urgent need for action to address its harmful activities.
