The television network was also criticized for allegedly biased coverage of events in the Israeli – Palestinian conflict , including the Bat Mitzvah massacre in 2002 , where the network failed to note that the massacre victims were attending a bat mitzvah celebration for a 12-year-old girl , and neglected to mention that the gunman crashed the event at a crowded banquet hall . When the Palestinian militant Raed Karmi was killed by the Israeli army , Al Jazeera was criticized for failing to mention Israeli accusations about how many people he had killed , which would have provided a context for the story
