Aljazeera is an infamously anti-semitic, anti-american channel that is unreliable at best and terrorist propaganda at worst.

I know it's an old post, but don't jump the gun, I've never heard a more incorrect statement about Aljazeera. Saying Aljazeera is "terrorist propaganda" is akin to saying "CNN is american propaganda", not only have they helped uncover several bombings perpetrated by Israel, helped the general spread of awareness by covering the Palestinian war in-depth sending people to the field and supporting the people there. Saying anti-semitic is also an incorrect statement, Aljazeera hate themselves? you do realise Arabs are semitic? They're anti-Israel, full stop. This post is all about it, so I do not understand your complaint. Unless you've got genuine criticism this might be the most idiotic argument I've ever seen posted online for a news source.

I used the term antisemitic because it's most commonly used in reference to discrimination against Jewish people, and as OP doesn't seem very educated on the issue (using Aljazeera as a source) I figured they'd be familiar with that usage of it.
As for why Aljazeera is terrorist propaganda, Aljazeera is owned and controlled by Qatar, which literally harbors Hamas leaders. Qatar has a habit of harboring and supporting terrorist groups. They have a score of 105 on the Press Freedom Index. It was shut down in the US because readership plummeted from the propaganda and hate mongering. Their bias has been fact checked as left-center and their factual reporting is marked as "mixed".
MEMRI (Middle East Media Research Institute) reported that their content promotes Islamist terror WORLDWIDE. In the October 7th attack, they aired footage that could've only been obtained from Hamas itself. In 2020, the Department of Justice required them to register as a foreign agent.
Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen reported that the network "repeatedly undermines U.S. interests by supporting extremist groups like Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, Al-Qaeda, and the Al-Nusrah Front. Moreover, Qatar uses it's state-owned, state-funded, state-directed and state-controlled network to project this vision to the U.S. public."
I would think that pretty clearly explains why Aljazeera shouldn't be trusted as a reliable source when it comes to information about Islamic terrorist groups like Hamas.
