Al Jazeera doesn't support terrorism... Quite the opposite in fact. Did you read the link?
One could say, after all, that it's the Palestinians who were "having a total disaster coming across". Since 1967, Israel has built some 250 illegal settlements and outposts on Palestinian land in the West Bank and occupied East Jerusalem, in which more than 600,000 Israelis now live, in violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention.
Putting that aside for the moment, there are several key problems with Trump's claim. The first is the wall's raison d'etre: it's a "separation" wall, not a "security" wall, according to its name in Hebrew (gader hafrada). It was originally conceived in 2000, by Ehud Barak's government as a negotiation threat to Palestinian Liberation Organization leader, Yasser Arafat: "show more flexibility or we'll unilaterally create a consolidated demographic border". Fast forward a few years, and that threat materialised with profound humanitarian and economic consequences that continue to be felt by the Palestinians.

WALLS OF SHAME: West Bank Separation Wall (25:00)
A glance at a map detailing the separation wall's route quickly reveals that the vast majority of it - 85 percent - is, or is planned to be, built within the West Bank, not along the Green Line or the 1949 Armistice Line, the border between Israel and the Palestinian West Bank recognised by the international community.
This annexation accounts for nearly 10 percent of the West Bank and includes prime agricultural land and strategic water reserves. At one point, the wall cuts 22km deep into the West Bank.

Support comes in all forms such as slanted reporting and Al Jazeera has been know to do that in the past as well as being a propaganda tool for Qatar. And yes I read the article.
Jazeera's reporting on the incremental ethnic cleansing of the West Bank and the Negev isn't slanted. You should make some effort to understand what the Israelis have done since 1967.

So is FOX an award winning media group. Does that mean they don't lean conservative?
I’ve never heard of Fox winning any awards.
Really, do you have proof of this, I’d be interested, thanks

Who is surprised that JPP leftists use a mouth organ for the Muslime Brotherhood and jihadi terrorism as a source?
I’m not
And you people think I am being over the top when I say leftists are no better than ISIS

Tucker Carlson’s show is labeled as entertainment, not news, some people are easily entertained, aren’t they. It’s sad they believe the entertainers.
As long as you think they agree with you, right, grandpa?
BTW, an former Israeli mayor isn't "Fox News", and I suspect you can't identify the wall he's talking about, because you didn't watch the interview.
Then there's this:
Israeli officials (including the head of the Shin Bet) said that in the areas where the barrier was complete, the number of hostile infiltrations has decreased to almost zero. They also stated that Palestinian militants, including a senior member of Islamic Jihad, had confirmed that the barrier made it much harder to conduct attacks inside Israel. Since the completion of the fence in the area of Tulkarm and Qalqilyah in June 2003, there have been no successful attacks from those areas. All attacks were intercepted or the suicide bombers detonated prematurely." In a March 23, 2008 interview, Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader Ramadan Shalah complained to the Qatari newspaper Al-Sharq that the separation barrier "limits the ability of the resistance."

Like that guy Maddow? Or Kimmel? Or Noah? Or Colbert? Or Stewart? Or Bee?
What a hypocrite you are, imbecile.
BTW, the former mayor of Shiloh isn't an "entertainer," is he?

You got me on the award thing I thought I had seen them win but it looks like I was wrong. Good for you. But that doesn't mean that media that has won awards makes them any more unbiased.
