            For one, the Palestinian(Fatah/PLO) government in the West Bank:

            [In 2008] Officials of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah party … accused Al-Jazeera of bias toward Hamas (with which it is at political loggerheads), and Fatah official Mohammed Dahlan sued the broadcaster. … On 15 July of that year [2009], the Palestinian National Authority (PA) closed down Al Jazeera’s offices in the West Bank in an apparent response to claims made on the channel by Farouk Kaddoumi that PA president Mahmoud Abbas had been involved in the death of Yasser Arafat. The Palestinian Information Ministry called the organization’s coverage “unbalanced” and accused it of incitement against the PLO and the PA. Four days later, Abbas rescinded the ban and allowed Al Jazeera to resume operations

            It’s a long article, but well worth a read. Criticism of Al Jazeera doesn’t just come from the west and Israel. It also comes from the Arab and Muslim world.
