Al-Jazeera has repeatedly taken the opportunity to reframe the relationship between Israel and the rest of the imperial core as a domineering one. They have repeatedly undercut the resistance by painting them as the aggressors, "only making things worse" for the Palestinians. This only serves the US narrative.

Dawg, I am at my wit's end with online communism posting. Why are we taking Qatari news media at face value in the year of our lord 2025
Completely beside the point, but it looks like you are posting from Mastodon, which is commendable.
Use one of the crazier ActivityPub platforms if you want funny reacts. A lot of them are like an unholy mix of Twitter and Discord
Those guys always show up when they're needed, don't they?
Movim if they're private, or interested in computers, otherwise I have had success with Pixelfed and Funkwhale. I don't bother explaining any of the weirder forks or what Mastodon or Pleroma is. People want somewhere to post photos and videos on, and I just want to be able to see ActivityPub posts
I have heard the reasons why, but I still can't wrap my head around Mastodon's decisions regarding the ability of reactions to carry between instances & profile search. The solution to a problem should never be "scroll for 7 minutes". All of the instances still doing that should move on, because the whole "dopamine loop" neuroscience meme is nothing confirmed or worth breaking core site features over.

These guys seem to be having a good time though
I've tolerated cities like Paris, Texas. Switzerland, Canada is a bridge too far, though.
Just when I was starting to trust Qatar due to Al Jazeera's journalism, too. 😖
Well, Mastodon seems designed to have people give up on it. Austere interface, short charlimit, no federation of reactions, no search bar. I hate it so much. I recommend one of the Misskey forks. It's more "modern" than any mainstream social media website now.
