Yahya Abu Zakaria, an Algerian intellectual and media analyst who has collaborated for years with prominent Arab world networks and is a popular figure on television and a strong supporter of the resistance axis, wrote in a tweet during the early days of the Ramadan war:

"I ask my brothers in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Iranian Ministry of Culture to ban Al Jazeera in Iran. The same network that the CIA and Mossad exploit. Remember the July 2006 war and the dangerous roles this network played in Gaza."

But why does Abu Zakaria hold such a position?

Like many Arab elites, he believes that Arab media networks, like the Arab countries themselves, are not independent and all operate in line with the interests of the US and Israel. In his view, in every war and division that has occurred in the region, the media have played the main role in weakening and dividing the Arab world. This perspective is not far from reality. Networks like Saudi Arabia's Al Arabiya and Al Hadath openly support Israel and the US today. In recent years, especially after the Al-Aqsa storm, these media outlets have lost their credibility among Arab people and have become known as "Al-Ibriah" (the Hebrews).

However, there is one network that operates very professionally and is still considered the main and reliable global reference for regional news: Al Jazeera.

Nevertheless, Yahya Abu Zakaria believes that Al Jazeera is also a security-intelligence apparatus serving Mossad and the CIA. Through his investigations, he has provided much evidence of this cooperation and has repeatedly revealed these collaborations in his interviews and tweets.


Some statements by Yahya Abu Zakaria:

  1. About assassinations after interviews with Al Jazeera:

"Many assassination operations or arrests of prominent figures have occurred after their interviews with Al Jazeera. This issue has raised many questions, and other Arab circles interested in political and media affairs do not accept the usual justifications."

  1. About Al Jazeera's infiltration into the resistance:

"Al Jazeera was the first Arab network to infiltrate the resistance movement, expose its secrets, and leave the resistance vulnerable security-wise and intelligence-wise to the CIA and Mossad. This same network was the first to enter fighters' tunnels and reveal most of their assets. Nevertheless, some resistance figures still appear on this network. We are a people who do not learn."

  1. The story of Abdel Aziz al-Rantisi (former Hamas commander):

After the assassination of Ahmed Yassin (March 2003), al-Rantisi was in hiding for 25 days. Al Jazeera repeatedly pressured his close associates to interview him. Eventually, al-Rantisi consented under pressure and set the interview time at his private home — a house he had not entered since Yassin's assassination. As soon as he entered the house and simultaneously as the Al Jazeera team was leaving, Israeli missiles targeted him, and he was immediately martyred.

  1. Quoting Jamal Ismail, Al Jazeera reporter in Afghanistan:

"Al Jazeera gave me a camera equipped with GPS. Everyone Al Jazeera interviewed in Afghanistan was later assassinated. Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, who was killed in Dubai, was interviewed by Al Jazeera's Dubai office and was killed there. Saeed Siyam from Hamas had an appointment with Al Jazeera, but the presenter did not go to the location, and Siyam himself was targeted by an Apache.
Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was interviewed by Al Jazeera in 2006 and was later targeted for assassination but survived."

Abu Zakaria emphasizes that Al Jazeera exploited the Palestinian issue to infiltrate among the Arab people and, by gaining the trust of resistance groups in Palestine and Lebanon, facilitated the conditions for Israel to assassinate leaders.

Thank you rainpizza, saymaz, maklodhr, & other less frequent posters (in particular the last) for again saving me from the nicotine-esque urge to redownload Telegram & reducing the overall spaghetti

I appreciate your gratitude! As someone newer to telegram, I don't think the addiction has quite seeped in yet. Better wait till I start developing withdraw symptoms.

It's fine as long as you treat it as an RSS feed (or even better put it in RSS) & don't, say, have a personality that draws you to arguing in group chats (essentially turns it into Discord-tier spyware if you take the bait, Putler ignored this at his peril) honestly, why even assume the repliers are real ever. Search function is good, but no way to hide read posts in channels? Even on forks, birdbrained imo

I recommend using Ayugram, if you're on Android. Your sacrifice of sanity will not be in vain. Semper posts
