Al Jazeera is the propaganda arm of Qatar, the rich little emirate that gives refuge to senior leaders of Hamas, provides the terror group with money and weapons, and yet has so far managed to ‘scape whipping by a president who considers the Emir of Qatar a useful interlocutor with Iran, and a personal “friend” for having given him a jumbo jet worth $400 million. Al Jazeera’s resources come close to matching those of the BBC, allowing it to spread its lies about Israel with cheerful abandon across the globe. More on just one example of how Al Jazeera misreports the news can be found here: “Al Jazeera Inverts Reality in Ode to Mr. FAFO,” by Chaim Lax, HonestReporting, October 13, 2026:
Al Jazeera is at it again, spreading misinformation and anti-Israel hate to its millions of followers on social media.
This time, the Qatari state media outlet published a post mourning Saleh Aljafarawi on the anniversary of his death.
Referring to Aljafarawi as a “Palestinian journalist” who was killed “just days after a ‘ceasefire’ agreement between Israel and Hamas,” Al Jazeera insinuating that Israeli forces were responsible for his death, in contravention of the ceasefire agreement between the two combatants.
The problem with this characterization? Aljafarawi was not a journalist and he was not killed by Israeli forces.
Here’s a quick reminder on who Saleh Aljafarawi actually was.
Aljafarawi was a social media influencer and Hamas propagandist who was dubbed “Mr. FAFO” (an acronym for F*ck Around and Find Out) on social media due to the juxtaposition of his posts celebrating Hamas’ terror invasion of southern Israel on October 7 and later ones of him crying over Israel’s retaliatory strikes on the Gaza Strip.
Throughout the war between Israel and Hamas, he became a source of mockery due to his appearances as a doctor, a journalist, a combatant, and a wounded patient in pro-Hamas propaganda films that had gone viral on social media.
However, while these videos were rightly mocked for their blatantly fake performances, some fell for the propaganda and donated to charity campaigns that Aljafarawi headed. Unsurprisingly, the man who spent two years deceiving his social media followers was later accused of pocketing the millions of dollars that had been donated by his gullible followers.
On October 12, 2025, Mr. FAFO “found out” for the last time when he was killed while accompanying Hamas terrorists into combat against members of the anti-Hamas Doghmosh clan in Gaza City. He was possibly accompanying the Hamas unit as a cameraman, filming the fighting for future propaganda purposes.
Salah Aljafarawi was clearly not a journalist (but he played one on TV) and was not killed by Israel.
However, this did not stop Al Jazeera from spreading these lies about Aljafarawi, incriminating Israel while whitewashing his actual activities over the past two years of war.
Should we be surprised?…
Perhaps it’s time for the rest of the Western world to emulate Israel, and to ban Al Jazeera, the main propaganda outlet for the worldwide jihad, outright. In April 2024, the Israeli Knesset passed emergency legislation allowing the government to temporarily ban foreign media networks deemed a threat to national security. This is known as the “Al Jazeera Law.”
Israel officially shut down Al Jazeera’s local offices (including in East Jerusalem and the Ramallah bureau in the West Bank), seized equipment, and blocked access to its television broadcasts and website. It also revoked the press credentials and accreditation of Al Jazeera journalists operating in areas under its control.
Why should not the United States, and the rest of the imperiled West, not follow suit? Isn’t Al Jazeera, spreading its lies hither and yon, not just about Israel but also about other Western nations, while spreading the glad news that Islam is triumphantly on the march, a threat to the security of the world’s Infidels?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
The first time I heard of al Jazeera was after 9/11, when they were Osama’s chosen platform for spreading his videos. From that moment on, in any sane country, that channel should have been blocked and banned. It should have received the same treatment in the US as Xinhua and Tass
R G says
Actually Xinhua and Pravda are both legal here in the United States. But your point is taken.
Rick Gordon says
Al Jazeera is the mouthpiece for the Muslim Brotherhood, jihadists around the world, and Iran’s proxies. I believe in free speech but not in an unending font of lies. They should not have free access to spout their filth and sophisticated brand of hate – especially onto our nation’s college campuses.
Wellington says
Qatar is a smart Muslim nation and Iran has been a dumb Muslim nation. This is the long and short of it.
Qatar has continued to enrich itself all the while quite successfully spreading Islamic propaganda in the West, and especially in America. Meanwhile, Iran has turned off so many, even many other Muslims and Muslim nations, and is now a bankrupt nation.
All of which is why, in the final analysis, I am more concerned about Qatar than Iran because Muslims acting shrewdly and enriching themselves are even more of a menace to us “vilest of creatures” (Sura 98:6) than Muslims acting stupidly and bankrupting themselves.
P.S., President Trump should have never accepted that damn plane from Qatar. Not only have the optics been bad, it has been bad all around in every way.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Thing that infuriates me the most is the ease w/ which countries like Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey and pre-MbS Saudi Arabia passed off as US allies. Previous GOP presidents were either dumb or totally bought off by petrodollars, but I’m disappointed that Trump fell for it as well
The first 3 of these countries have been a dept at playing both sides of the West vs islam. Qatar, as you mentioned, is a leading LNG supplier and uses that money to bankroll the m uslim brotherhood and the islamization of Western institutions. Pakistan famously was our “ally” in the “war on terror” while simultaneously hiding al Qaeda honchos whenever it could. Turkey, while still being a part of NATO*, now has hostilities w/ Israel, Greece, Cyprus and Armenia. But according to our State Department, these are all “allies”. Speaking of which, Pakistan and Turkey can’t even be good allies to Saudi Arabia, w/ whom they signed a pact at Mecca – their holiest city, but we have cretins who think that they are allies of the US
In fact, much as I loathe the islamic republic, one thing I laud them for – damaging Qatar’s LNG production, thereby cutting their money supply. Also, the silver lining about making the Strait of Hormuz too dangerous to pass is that Qatari shipping is blocked, and the Saudis are not on talking terms w/ them
*Incidentally, I welcome the intiative by the EU to explore a strategic defense alliance independent of NATO.. While it may have been driven by Trump’s threats on Greenland and his distancing US from Ukraine, the good thing is that Turkey didn’t feature in the picture. It’s good in 2 ways – EU can stop being dependent on the US and exclusively handle its own defense, allowing US to focus on the Asia-Pacific. The other way being that finally, NATO can be dissolved and the US and EU can be separate defense entities
Wellington says
Infidel: If NATO were dissolved and the EU became a separate defense entity, I should think this would please Putin greatly since what makes NATO a concern to him is the US in it and an EU on its own would be pretty much of a joke to Putin—he could easily bribe the EU, et al. Also, I don’t believe nations like Poland and Estonia would welcome a dissolution of NATO, not one bit.
gravenimage says
Agreed, Wellington. Russia–and the Soviet Union before them–have *never* attacked a NATO member. Ukraine was attacked because she *was not* able to join NATO.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Yet Ukraine has fought far better than any other Eastern European country might fight if Russians invaded them. I think that Ukraine is a better hope for European security than the US is, or should be
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Wellington
I daresay that Putin wishes these days that he never started that war. Just like Iraq in 1990 and the Houthis now have exposed the Saudis as a paper tiger, Zelenskyy has done the same to the Russians. The reason there is an acute shortages of both gasoline & diesel worldwide is that Ukraine’s drone attacks have made European Russia a battlefield, and even hit refineries as deep as Siberia. I can now see Ukraine winning this war, not Russia
But on NATO, Trump has already suspended intelligence sharing w/ Ukraine, which enabled the Russians to launch a successful attack there. So NATO is already broken, so it would make sense for the US and EU to part ways, and the EU to do what was described in that video. The best part of it is that it isolates Turkey, but the other thing it does is leave the US free to focus on Asia-Pacific
Note that I disagree w/ what Trump said about Zelenskyy – that there should be a change of leadership in Kyiv. Actually, that’s true about Moscow, since Putin can’t end this war & save face, but any other leader (not directly involved w/ starting the war) can. But I welcome this long overdue break in NATO, & hope that in the process, Turkey is flushed out
Wellington says
Infidel: Yes, Putin is not only malevolent but also incompetent. He must be surrounded with many corrupt sycophants to not have been done away with by now. The toll on Ukraine has been beyond measure but the toll on Russia has been very high as well. Hundreds of thousands killed or maimed for what? For an extra 30,000 or 40,000 square miles of land? What a waste.
I agree with you about Turkey. It’s a disgrace they’re still in NATO and Trump seems oblivious of this disgrace. Well, much to be still worked out. Much.

That is all you need to know about it.
The result: islamic propaganda.
