> So why choose this source, when many more reputable sources have covered the suffering in Gaza?

I am of the understanding that the people posting in the comments to this article did so because they chose to, not because dang decided this is what people should read.

Users should, of course, post on whatever threads they like. But I am implying that the OP's selection of publication serves one particular perspective, and readers should be aware of Al Jazeera's historical affiliation with that perspective.

It’s common knowledge that Al Jazeera is owned by the Qatari government, and that fact is brought up routinely in response to articles about Israel posted here. I’m not sure why anyone would assume that readers would be blind to that, especially considering how the discussions in the comments on these articles tend to go.
