Al-Jazeera often has the only news teams covering events in the Middle East. They were there, broadcasting live throughout the chaotic protests of the Arab Spring. Did they also shutter the likes of Fox news who will only air puppies and rainbows propaganda when it comes to delivering their rightwing flavored glop?

If they have nothing to hide and proudly standby their actions, Israel should welcome any journalists, even ones from Fox.
