Nakba protests and Middle East unrest - live updates


The Guardian

COMMENT:

The Guardian's coverage has been more decent than that of Al-Jazeera. Scroll down a couple of posts to see this headline from Al-Jazeera:

"Palestinians wounded in 'Nakba' clashes."

Notice how Al-Jazeera put Nakba within quotation marks, while the Guardian did not. Al-Jazeera is not so sure that there is such a thing as Nakba.

Next, Al-Jazeera uses the word "Clashes" to describe Israel's firing on, wounding and killing of protesters, as if it is a "clash" between equals. The Guardian, correctly describes the situation as a protest.

Shame on Al-Jazeera and how low it has sunk to please the House of Saud and his Israeli protectors.

• Dozens of Palestinians wounded in Nakba protests


• Four Syrians killed crossing the border into Golan Heights [The Rabbit and the IOF are now partners, killing Syrians on both sides of the occupied Golan!]
