Original Note:
The article attributes the mistranslation to Al Jazeera, not “Western media.” Al Jazeera’s translation was apparently picked up by other news agencies. https://www.silentlunch.net/p/did-the-entire-media-industry-misquote Al Jazeera is owned by the government of Qatar. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Jazeera_Media_Network Qatar is Hamas’s most important financial backer and foreign ally. https://amp.dw.com/en/who-is-hamas/a-57537872
