Watch that at times.

Seems balanced, but something is missing - the Israeli need to justify their actions because some real or imaginary Hamas or Hezbollah fighters/leaders were targeted, and the civilian casualty involved in this process can be ignored.

Al Jazeera is the only station that used the word 'genocide' to describe the Israeli action in Palestine.

Shutting down a news medium that doesn't fit your efforts to project a 'Good Guy' image isn't something a Democracy does.
