The GCC Israeli-Saudi agenda: Aljazeera's new mission

It is fair that Aljazeera has become disgusting in covering the region.  Its only thrust now is the agenda of the GCC.  Part of the agenda is furthering Israeli regional interests.  Look at the coverage of the attack today: unknown Arabs attacked an Israeli military terrorist target, and Israel typically attacked at random Palestinian civilian targets.  So Aljazeera did not give prominence to the Israeli raid on Gaza and then had only one guest: not from the Palestinian victims.  It hosted one guest only: an (broken) Arabic spokesperson of the Israeli terrorist army.  But what was most disturbing is that usually Israeli guests are treated fiercely and effectively interrogated.  They usually are not allowed to complete a sentence.  The treatment today was quite different: the propagandist was allowed to go on and no Palestinian or Arab was allowed to speak on the same issue.   I mean, at least the network could have asked "Eyewitness Abu Muhammad in Dayr Az-Zur" to report on what he saw in Gaza.
